Breaking Bad’s Bob Odenkirk has revealed that the spinoff to the show could be seen as a sequel to its much-loved parent series.

Odenkirk spoke about Better Call Saul in a conversation with IGN, saying that Breaking Bad writers Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould are considering making the new series a sequel.

‘Well, I’ve talked to Vince and Peter, who are writing and creating the series, about this and I’ve said that a lot of people do want to see what happens next to Saul,’ Odenkirk said.

‘So, I don’t know what they’re going to do. I know they’ve talked about prequel, but they’ve also talked to me about sequel, and they’ve also talked to me about a mix of prequel and sequel.’

He also promised Breaking Bad fans that the sequel will be totally separate to the original series.



‘I told Peter and Vince, right away I said, “Look man, let us make this fresh for everyone.” So that right away, in the first five minutes, every viewer goes, “Oh, this isn’t Breaking Bad, this is its own thing.”

‘And I think they feel the same exact way. There might be a cameo here or there, but I don’t know. We’re going to do a new show.’
