Breaking Bad Spinoff Better Call Saul Delayed, Gets Second Season



AMC has delayed the premiere of Better Call Saul until early 2015.

Fans of AMC's Breaking Bad will have to wait a little longer for the spinoff centered on crooked lawyer Saul Goodman. Better Call Saul has been delayed from its will reprise his role [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/131241-Breaking-Bad-Spinoff-Better-Call-Saul-Gets-Premiere-Date] as private investigator Mike Ehrmantraut in the series.

Better Call Saul will explore how Goodman got into providing legal advice and support to criminals in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan will direct the pilot episode. Breaking Bad writer-director Peter Gould, creator of the Saul Goodman character, was set take over as showrunner, but AMC has announced that Gilligan will stay on and both he and Gould will serve as co-showrunners. Late last year, Gilligan told Entertainment Weekly [http://insidetv.ew.com/2013/12/31/breaking-bad-vince-gilligan-better-call-saul-community/2/] how Better Call Saul will differ from Breaking Bad. "It will be Saul Goodman's world, it won't be Walter White's, and it will have a different feel, even though there will be some overlap on the Venn Diagram that exists between Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul," says Gilligan. "But it will have to succeed on its own terms as its own show. If it doesn't, it won't be satisfying, and satisfaction is the key word. We want to satisfy." Gilligan is also hoping to secure guest appearances from Breaking Bad stars Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul.

On an odd note, only barely related to this... I realized recently that Bob's brother Bill actually wrote for Futurama and The Simpsons and also was a producer. Interesting.

OT: I'm actually looking forward to this just because I think Bob Odenkirk is a great actor and have enjoyed his work since the Mr. Show days.
