That’s six years before Walter comes on the scene, when Saul was known as Jimmy McGill – a small time lawyer trying to make ends meet in any way he can.
2. Lots of your Breaking Bad favourites will be on it
Bob Odenkirk will reprise his role as the slimy lawyer, while Jonathan Banks (Mike Erhmantraut) will feature again as Saul’s right-hand-man and ‘fixer’. There are also rumours that Huell will make an appearance (though we’ll probably never know if he left the safe house).
3. There’s a possibility Walter White could show up
Executive producer Peter Gould has said that the show’s ‘flexible timeline’ could allow them to bring back characters that were killed on the original show.
4. The show will be ‘more dark than funny’
Bob Odenkirk told Salon.com that despite his character acting as comic relief on Breaking Bad, Saul’s spinoff will be more dark. Interesting.
AMC says that like Breaking Bad did for Walter White, Better Call Saul will track Jimmy’s transformation into ‘criminal’ lawyer Saul Goodman.
However Vince Gilligan has said that the show will have a completely different look to his Emmy-winning original series, losing the ‘neo-Western visual style’.
Though it was originally slated to premiere in the autumn, Better Call Saul will finally air in the US in early 2015 – and Netflix say they’ll have it for us as soon as it finishes airing Stateside.
