The final season of Better Call Saul is now reaching its crescendo after six series and more than seven years since it was first broadcast in the US. The show is an example of a successful spin-off that rivals and attempts to surpass the characters it was first based on, having originally featured its main character Saul Goodman in Breaking Bad.

Better Call Saul cameos of Breaking Bad stars Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul were supposed to be a surprise, the actors have said.The pair are set to reprise their roles as Walter White and Jesse Pinkman respectively in the final season of the AMC spinoff, and were announced to return back in April.“We were asked to keep it a secret forever,” Cranston told Albuquerque Journal (per Entertainment Weekly) “We were flown in [to Albuquerque] under the darkness of night.”He added: “We took this plane and they went to a certain private section of the airport there. And then we took like two steps out of the tarmac and into an SUV.

Taron Egerton is stepping out to support his new show.

SPOILER ALERT: This article contains details of tonight’s “Fun and Games” episode of the final season of Better Call Saul.

It’s common knowledge now that Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul would be reprising their Breaking Bad roles of Walter White and Jesse Pinkman in an upcoming episode in the last season of Breaking Bad prequel Better Call Saul. 

Black Bird as his “most fully realised” working relationship ever with another cast member.The actor plays Liotta’s on-screen son, James Keene, in the Apple TV+ series, based on the autobiographical novel In With The Devil: A Fallen Hero, A Serial Killer, And A Dangerous Bargain For Redemption by Keene and Hillel Levin.The series marks Liotta’s final TV appearance following his death aged 67 in May. Speaking to RadioTimes.com, Egerton is “quite emotional” about recalling their time together on set.“We just clicked and we were very open and frank and candid with each other,” he said.

Paul Walter Hauser (“Richard Jewell”) is also a movie buff — so it’s no surprise that he describes his Emmy-worthy turn as “Black Bird” serial killer Larry Hall in cinematic terms — including Hall’s “Vincent D’Onofrio in ‘Full Metal Jacket’ stare.”“I’d say for my process … is that if I treated [the role] some other way it takes the humanity out of it and I’m kind of leaning into this tendency to overact,” Hauser, 35, told The Post. “So rather than be like, ‘Wow, I’m playing a serial killer so I better get ready’ … [Hall] was a human before he was a murderer, before he was a rapist, so you don’t want to play a killer like a killer.

Better Call Saul actor Bob Odenkirk has confirmed that his heart attack in 2021 happened while filming next week’s episode of the hit show.On July 28, 2021, the 58-year-old star of the Breaking Bad prequel series collapsed in Albuquerque, New Mexico. His son, Nate Odenkirk, reassured fans the following day that the actor was “going to be okay”.Two days after the incident, Odenkirk, speaking for the first time since the incident, told fans on Twitter that he had suffered “a small heart attack” and would “be back soon”.Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Odenkirk revealed the episode he was filming when the attack happened and reflected on his health since the incident.

Wilson Chapman editorAMC has released the final trailer for the second part of the sixth season of “Better Call Saul,” the critically acclaimed “Breaking Bad” prequel series starring Bob Odenkirk.The trailer continues AMC’s trend of advertising the final episodes with cryptic black-and-white footage, leaving fans few images to grasp onto in their predictions of how the story will conclude. Fred Neil’s “Little Bit of Rain” sets the mood of a farewell.“Let justice be done till the heavens fall,” Odenkirk’s Saul Goodman aka Jimmy McGill utters at the conclusion of the trailer.The first part of Season 6, which aired this spring, saw Jimmy and his wife and fellow lawyer Kim Wexler (Rhea Seehorn) successfully execute an elaborate scheme to sabotage the career of their former boss Howard Hamlin (Patrick Fabian).

William Earl With “Better Call Saul” set to begin airing its final six episodes in just nine days, AMC has begun a round of promotions for the send-off to the series. As the show’s chronology begins to approach the events of “Breaking Bad,” viewers are preparing to see some familiar faces, including the return of Bryan Cranston’s Walter White and Aaron Paul’s Jesse Pinkman.Beyond that iconic pair though, “Better Call Saul” is almost certainly returning to the unglamorous existence of Bob Odenkirk’s Gene Takavic, formerly known as Saul Goodman, formerly known as Jimmy McGill, who now resides in Omaha, Neb.

Taron Egerton paid tribute to Ray Liotta during his recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live this week.

Aside from films such as the massively popular “Top Gun: Maverick,” this summer has seemed relatively quiet on the blockbuster front.

Jordan Moreau Ever since news broke that Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul will reprise their roles as Walter White and Jesse Pinkman on the final season of “Better Call Saul,” fans have been cooking up theories as to how they’ll return. Will Walt and Jesse show up as their pre-“Breaking Bad” selves in the “Better Call Saul” timeline? Or will it be a flashback to their “Breaking Bad” days working with Bob Odenkirk’s Saul Goodman?In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, “Better Call Saul” showrunner Peter Gould says that he hasn’t heard a fan theory that actually predicts how it will happen.“I’ve heard [fan] theories about what’s going to happen,” Gould said, “and I’m happy to report I haven’t heard a theory that comes quite close to the actual fact.” The sixth and final season of “Better Call Saul” was split in two halves, with the first batch of episodes premiering in April and May.

Taron Egerton is looking back on his special time working with the late Ray Liotta on the new Apple TV+ series “Black Bird”.

Better Call Saul has recruited Carol Burnett for the final season of the show.

Todd Spangler NY Digital EditorCarol Burnett is breaking bad.The comedy legend will appear as a guest star in the sixth and final season of “Better Call Saul,” portraying a character named Marion, AMC announced. It’s unclear at this point how Marion fits into the denouement of the complicated journey and transformation of series antihero Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk) into Albuquerque’s notorious criminal lawyer Saul Goodman.“I’m thrilled to be a part of my favorite show,” Burnett, a six-time Emmy Awards winner, said in a statement.In addition to Burnett, as previously announced, Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul will appear in “Better Call Saul” Season 6 reprising their “Breaking Bad” roles of Walter White and Jesse Pinkman, respectively, as the show draws to its conclusion.
