Saddle Up, The Next Episode Of โ€˜Better Call Saulโ€™ Is Titled โ€œBreaking Badโ€

13 years ago, AMCโ€™s Breaking Bad introduced the morally dubious criminal lawyer Saul Goodman in an episode titled โ€˜Better Call Saulโ€™ (S02E08). In just a matter of days, the spin-off centred upon the beloved character portrayed by Bob Odenkirk will return the favour with its third-last episode titled โ€˜Breaking Bad.โ€™

The full-circle moment in Vince Gilliganโ€™s mythology has been something weโ€™ve anticipated ever since Better Call Saul premiered circa 2015 due to the overall chronology; and to an extent, ever since the main seriesโ€™ feature-length epilogue โ€“ El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie โ€“ explored the aftermath of Breaking Bad season 5.

Earlier this year in April, the showโ€™s official Twitter account provided solid confirmation with a brand new image indicating both Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul had reprised their roles as the iconic Walter White/Heisenberg and equally memorable Jesse Pinkman, respectively, along with the caption: โ€œTheyโ€™re coming back.โ€

So what exactly can fans actually expect?

The overall blueprint is clear for anyone whoโ€™s seen the main series. The real question, however, lies in how much of a fresh perspective weโ€™ll receive a la Saul Goodman / Jimmy McGill / Omaha Cinnabon manager Gene Takovic.

โ€œI donโ€™t want to spoil things for the audience, but I will say the first question we had when we started the show was: โ€˜Are we gonna see Walt and Jesse on the show?โ€™ Instead of evading, Iโ€™ll just say yeah,โ€ series co-creator Peter Gould revealed during a panel at PaleyFest Los Angeles.

โ€œHow or the circumstances or anything, youโ€™ll just have to discover that for yourself, but I have to say thatโ€™s one of many things that I think youโ€™ll discover this season.โ€

For reference, the synopsis published online for the โ€˜Breaking Badโ€™ episode of Better Call Saul season 6 simply reads: โ€œThe partners escalate their enterprise to new levels (via: AMC & AMC+).โ€ Which has led certain individuals to believe we might even be revisiting the height of Heisenbergโ€™s reign. Intriguingโ€ฆ

During an interview with SiriusXMโ€™s Basic! podcast, Byran Cranston himself was as tight-lipped as youโ€™d expect, revealing nothing more than the fact he and Aaron Paul filmed a grand total of three scenes for Better Call Saul season 6.

โ€œThereโ€™s a scene that Aaron is in without me. And thereโ€™s a scene where Iโ€™m in without him. And then thereโ€™s a scene where weโ€™re both in,โ€ teased Bryan Cranston.

โ€œSo thereโ€™s three scenes to come. Itโ€™s pretty cool. But to be honest with you โ€“ because we shot everything in a bubble and completely out of sequence โ€“ I donโ€™t even know what episodes weโ€™re in [Laughs.]. Youโ€™re gonna find out.โ€

Guess we really will find out soon enough, wonโ€™t we?

The final episodes of Better Call Saul season 6 are currently streaming via Stan โ€” keep an eye out for the highly-anticipated โ€˜Breaking Badโ€™ episode, which lands here in Australia on August 2nd.
