In this case, the snack brand PopCorners has already released the first preview of its Super Bowl commercial, where we can see Aaron Paul again as Jesse Pinkman, his character in Breaking Bad. And watch out, because while he only appears in the teaser, an old friend is more than likely accompanying him in the final announcement.

The commercial is taped in the desert of Albuquerque, New Mexico, the scene where part of the ‘Breaking Bad’ storyline takes place. As the show’s soundtrack plays in the background, we see Jesse sitting in a lawn chair eating potatoes. He seems to receive a call to which he responds with a: “What happens?”. While you don’t hear an answer from the other end of the phone, it is It’s probably Walter White calling. (Bryan Cranston), co-star of the series.

The suspicions (if they can be called that) are due to the fact that on January 4 PopCorners published a tweet in which Heisenberg himself (pseudonym of White) appeared on the same stage, with his legendary outfit and also holding a bag of potatoes. . That is, everything indicates On Monday, February 13, the day when the NFL championship game will be played, we will see a new reunion of Walter and Jesse.

Will ‘Breaking Bad’ Return?

The Super Bowl announcement has reignited discussions about a possible new ‘Breaking Bad’ spin-off, now that ‘Better Call Saul’ is also over. However, according to ScreenRant, Vince Gilligan, the main architect of this universe, has already confirmed it He currently has no plans to do any more ‘Breaking Bad’ related stories. The director, in fact, would have declared that he wants to do new things outside his comfort zone and see if he is successful. Proof of this is the new sci-fi series which is preparing for Apple TV +, where we will see a familiar face like Rhea Seehorn, Kim Wexler in “Better Call Saul”, which will be the protagonist.

Despite Gilligan’s denial, ‘Breaking Bad’ fans shouldn’t completely lose hope, as He also said in his day that nothing related to the series would be done and broke it. Peter Goul, producer of ‘Breaking Bad’ and co-creator of ‘Better Call Saul’ also echoed the director’s statements asking: “Maybe?”, after thinking about how the team would feel if they returned to the Albuquerque desert. One possibility would be a prequel by Gustavo Fring, in which Giancarlo Esposito has expressed interest. But for now, there are no official plans to expand the ‘Breaking Bad’ universe.
