In addition to making both Mike Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks) and not-a-villain Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito) main characters, “Better Call Saul” has already brought back numerous other “Breaking Bad” characters for guest appearances. We’ve also seen Walter and Jessie reunite once already in “El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie,” where Cranston donned a bald cap for one scene.
It’s possible that Walter and Jessie could simply cameo in “Better Call Saul” season 6, the way Hank Schrader (Dean Norris) and Steven Gomez (Steven Michael Quezada) did in the season 5 episode, “The Guy for This.” However, at PaleyFest, Odenkirk seemed to tease that season 6 might embrace the crossover elements between the two shows even more, revealing new hidden layers to “Breaking Bad” that would give it an even deeper dimension on a rewatch. On the red carpet, he said:
“I personally feel that the two shows — ‘Breaking Bad’ and ‘Better Call Saul’ — are entwined even more than ever in the final season. And I think that’s surprising and cool, and it’s gonna make you want to watch ‘Breaking Bad’ again.”
The final season of “Better Call Saul” will be split into two parts, with the first seven episodes airing in April and May and the last six episodes airing in July and August. Season 6 of “Better Call Saul” premieres its first two episodes on AMC on Monday, April 18, 2022.
