The possibility of a sequel to 'Better Call Saul' is not only feasible but might actually occur. In an interview in August 2025, Bob Odenkirk expressed his willingness to reprise his role as Jimmy McGill/Saul Goodman, provided that Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould are involved. They are renowned for their exceptional work in television writing. If they conceptualize a story within this universe, Odenkirk would be eager to join. He remarked that they've moved on to new projects, yet a new series, set in prison where Jimmy's story ended, could revive the franchise.
At the series conclusion, Saul negotiated a 7.5-year sentence but eventually revealed his past crimes which led to an 86-year sentence. Although grim, Saul's legal expertise makes him a potential powerhouse in prison, offering legal insight to inmates and potentially altering his previous self-serving tactics. A sequel could explore Jimmy's redemption journey, possibly assisting fellow inmates legally and balancing power dynamics behind bars.
Moreover, the sequel holds potential in exploring the relationship between Jimmy and Kim Wexler. In the finale, Jimmy absolved Kim of their shared crimes, leaving her a clean slate. Her subsequent visit suggests unresolved ties. The series could delve into their intertwined yet separate paths and whether they might reconnect.
Though eclipsing 'Better Call Saul's' success seems daunting, a sequel could thrive on the solid groundwork left by its predecessor. This could satisfy fans and supplement the Breaking Bad universe, provided it includes fresh insights and continued character development.
What do you think? Should 'Better Call Saul' have a sequel, or should the Breaking Bad franchise conclude with Walter White's story?
