Walt & Jesse’s Better Call Saul Return Detailed By Bryan Cranston
Bryan Cranston revealed more details about Walt and Jesse’s highly anticipated return in Better Call Saul season 6. The Breaking Bad spinoff show has long integrated personalities from the acclaimed AMC series, seamlessly blending the two shows. While Breaking Bad characters like Mike Ehrmantraut and villain Gus Fring have been a tack of Better Call Saul for several seasons, the show has also featured impressions from characters like Hank, Hector Salamanca, Huell, and more. Better Call Saul season 6, which will also be the show’s last, is set to feature the most sensational Breaking Bad cameos yet.
Walt and Jesse are set to refund in Better Call Saul season 6, but how they return has remained a mystery. Still, those involved with the exhibit have hyped their appearances as substantial, unexpected, and satisfying. What that implies remains unclear as does just how they will make their grand return. Since Better Call Saul takes place before the events of Breaking Bad, the personalities will presumably appear early on in their meth-making careers, although the spinoff has pulled off timeline shenanigans before, so there may be some tricks up the show’s sleeve. Now, it sounds like Cranston may have spoiled some of those tricks.
In conversation with Sirius XM’s Basic! podcast, Cranston indicated new details about Walt and Jesse’s Better Call Saul season 6 return. The actor revealed that there will be three events with the characters – one solo scene each for Jesse and Walt and one where the pair are together. However, Cranston reveals that, because they shot everything out of order, he’s not sure what episodes he and Aaron Paul will be in, but he’s excited nonetheless. Check out Cranston’s reveal below:
There’s a scene that Aaron is in without me. And there’s a scene where I’m in without him. And then there’s a scene where we’re both in. So there are three scenes to come. It’s pretty cool. But to be honest with you — because we shot everything in a bubble and completely out of sequence — I don’t even know what episodes we’re in. You’re gonna find out.
Better Call Saul has already substantiated itself as a worthy successor to what some consider one of the greatest television shows of all time, with some even saying that the spinoff surpasses its successor in quality. The destruction of Jimmy McGill has been fascinating to watch as the once good-natured lawyer slowly turns into the sleazy lawman and colleague of the cartel that audiences originally knew him as. What, if anything, Walt and Jesse’s impressions will further reveal about Better Call Saul’s story remains to be seen, but as the show barrels towards its conclusion, all bets are off the table.
The Better Call Saul season 6 finale included one of the show’s most shocking and brutal curls yet when Lalo Salamance murdered Howard in cold blood right in front of Jimmy and Kim. What that means for the rest of the season stays unclear, but it could have major implications for how the end of Better Call Saul plays out. While some characters are guaranteed to make it out alive, the fates of others (like Kim Wexler) stay unknown. If the final episodes of Better Call Saul season 6 are anything like the ones that preceded it, audiences are in for a brutal conclusion to the spinoff show, one that will integrate beloved personalities and quite possibly tear others apart.
