Things on set took a scrap of a backseat later Odenkirk'south heart attack.

Improve Call Saul season 6 bandage: Who's in it?

Odenkirk will obviously exist back as Jimmy McGill/Saul Goodman/Gene Takovic.

Joining him will exist Rhea Seehorn as Kim Wexler, Jonathan Banks as Mike Ehrmantraut, Giancarlo Esposito as Gus Fring, Patrick Fabian as Howard Hamlin, Michael Mando every bit Nacho Varga and Tony Dalton equally Lalo Salamanca, among others.

Chatting to Den of Geek well-nigh how Kim'south role has gained momentum, Schnauz said: "We had cypher idea what Kim's role would be in the series. In fact, I call back the writers were still debating into flavour two if Kim and Jimmy had an intimate relationship prior to us meeting her in season one, or were they just friends?

"I wrote the line about the 'sex robot voice' in episode 3, and then I was in the campsite of: 'They started something only career took over and it didn't quite become anywhere.'

"We knew Rhea was good when we saw her audition tape, merely and then seeing her in the role every bit we were filming flavor one — all the nuance, the humour, the gleam in her eyes — we knew we had a special combination with her and Bob.

"These actors share that indescribable thing when yous watch them — when the characters struggle against a system stacked against them, y'all root for them, but then… when they first 'breaking bad' and doing things they shouldn't, y'all withal root for them! Maybe y'all're not rooting for them to succeed in the horrible thing they're doing, just y'all're still with them and shouting, 'No, plow back! Don't get caught!'

"Kim is who she is considering Rhea worked so hard and brought and so much to the character. It definitely helped the writers make choices about where the plot should go."

And information technology sounds similar we'll be seeing Kim'south night side in season ii (via Deadline).

"Do you see a very dark side of her at that place?" Seehorn said. "Yes, you practise. He brought Saul Goodman into our human relationship, she's bringing in this other person. There's this self righteous martyrdom going on."

Flavour five introduced a number of Breaking Bad cameos, including Dean Norris (Hank Schrader) and the late Robert Forster (Ed Galbraith), and then don't be surprised if more fan-faves return as we approach that show's timeline.

Does that mean Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul could as well reprise the roles of Walter White and Jesse Pinkman? Never say never, although Paul isn't so sure it would piece of work.

"I idea possibly I would play him [Jesse] in Better Call Saul," he admitted to Digital Spy.

"I'm such a big fan of that show. Merely in the contempo seasons, in the wink-forrard, particularly at present knowing where Jesse is, there's just no reason for him to be at that place and at that time. I can't imagine him showing up in Better Call Saul."

Cranston, on the other hand, is game.

"I would be in [Better Call Saul] if Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould, who are co-executive producers on it, wanted me to be in it," he said (via Collider). "I'd do it in a 2nd. But it hasn't happened yet. There's one more flavor to go and we'll come across what happens."

He added: "I've been asked to directly an episode every single season and it just didn't work out because of a commitment to doing a play or doing a movie or something, and then I wasn't able to section out the times available.

"Only I do love the evidence. I retrieve it's a fantastic show."

Gould is enlightened of the importance of the relationship between the two shows (via The Hollywood Reporter): "I like to think that Ameliorate Call Saul has washed its own somewhat different thing with the materials that we have, but I don't recollect anyone would accept bought or made the bear witness if we hadn't done Breaking Bad first.

"So I think the shows are ever going to be in relation to each other. And I think there's a world where but Breaking Bad exists past itself, but I don't recall there's whatsoever world where Better Call Saul exists just past itself."

That does audio like there volition be at least nods to the evidence that started Saul'southward journey in the final season.

"It'due south the devil'due south own Rubik's cube because we know where these characters are and we know kind of where some of them end upwardly," Gould continued. "There are characters like Kim Wexler, whose fates are broad open, and and then in that location are characters like Jimmy McGill, we know very specifically what he was doing for a couple of years there, or at least what he was doing when Walter White was effectually.

"Then yeah, at that place are a lot of limitations. At that place are a lot of obligations."

Amend Call Saul flavor 6 plot: What's going to happen?

Flavor half dozen volition end on a bumper stack of episodes, running for a padded thirteen episodes instead of the usual x. This means the series will terminate with 63 episodes full – 1 more than than Breaking Bad.

Speaking to Collider effectually the release of Curiosity's Hawkeye, Tony Dalton couldn't resist a tiny tease nearly the Better Call Saul scripts, and said: "You accept no idea what's going to happen. It's out of command what these guys wrote. Out of control."

In a previous interview with Den Of Geek, executive producer Thomas Schnauz added of Tony'southward time on the show, and hinted that Lalo's character could take a hell of a season six in the last run.

"Season five felt really special to me," Schnauz said. "I just felt like nosotros were clicking on all cylinders, and Tony Dalton was a big part of that. We certainly talked well-nigh bringing in the character Lalo equally far back every bit flavour one, but now with 20/xx hindsight, it feels he came in at the perfect time.

"I can't say if Lalo's part will be bigger or smaller in season six, only he was certainly pissed off and a homo on a mission in the season five finale."

Chatting to Amusement Weekly virtually what's effectually the next corner, Gould encouraged viewers to ask questions: "Anybody who watches the evidence advisedly and is thinking nearly where this is all going, one of the questions you have to inquire yourself is: 'What does this man deserve?'

"Not just: 'What'southward going to happen to him?' but 'What would be a deserving end to this?' Does Jimmy McGill/Saul Goodman/Factor Takovic deserve death? Does he deserve love? What would be the almost fitting stop for this guy – for the show?"

AMC

He added: "Plainly the cease for everybody is death, but that may non be where we leave this guy. Is in that location whatsoever way for him to win any redemption after everything that he's washed?"

And then there's "the other big question", as he put it: "Where is Kim Wexler when Saul Goodman is Saul Goodman dealing with Walt and Jesse?"

In an interview with The Guardian, Odenkirk said that he "really truly" doesn't think Kim is dead, adding: "I retrieve she's in Albuquerque, and she'due south still practicing law. He's still crossing paths with her. To me, that would fuel his desire to exist on billboards everywhere, because he wants her to come across him."

Chatting to The Hollywood Reporter, he echoed that theory: "Kim would exist a super-powered lawyer with the white-shoe law firm, and he would be the complete scumbag ambulance chaser across town. And at night, they get domicile, take off their disguises and be kind to each other. I don't remember that'southward where nosotros're going to go, but in real life, those weird and seemingly conflicting relationships can exist very real. They can happen.

"It's probably easy to think that Kim dies, or that anyone who's not visible passes away. But there'southward still a lot of people who dice on these shows; the stakes are loftier."

Gould too told fans to "keep your middle on the bottle stopper" that Kim grabbed from her desk drawer after leaving her office for the final fourth dimension.

Gould has discussed the characters that he's concerned about going into season six.

"The title of the penultimate episode this season was 'Bad Option Road'," he told The Wrap. "And, certainly, Kim Wexler seems to be on a bad choice road."

Seehorn too felt ominously nigh her character, and added: "Kim hates beingness told how to experience or what to do, or who she is. She actually loathes information technology.

"Would she really exercise these things? And even if she wouldn't, she's proverb them equally though they're a game, in a way that she really detests in a lot of other people at this point – playing games with the constabulary and playing with people's lives."

Then there's Nacho, who is in "deep, deep trouble" after finding himself caught between Gus Fring and Don Eladio.

Whatever happens, this season will incorporate its fair share of violence.

"We don't really pay attending to matching the tone or the amount of violence that came earlier in previous seasons," Schnauz told Den of Geek. "We only do what'southward right for the current story. The show has always been violent in my eyes, since flavour i, with Tuco and the skate twins, Nacho's threats to Jimmy, Mike in Philly… and also emotionally trigger-happy, with Chuck betraying his brother.

"And so there will exist more physical and emotional violence in season half dozen, but I can't swear that it's any more than than nosotros had before. We're coming to the terminate, so any happens will probably striking harder."

Yeah, don't expect this one to have a happy catastrophe - Rhea Seehorn has summed up flavour half dozen'due south conclusion in ane discussion: "Devastating."

That was on Twitter – and when one fan replied "I don't think I'm prepared for this", Seehorn replied: "I wasn't."

Uh-oh.
