Peter Gould announces the ending of Better Call Saul and leaves the door open for another series about Breaking Bad (SPOILER)

Better Call Saul After 6 high seasons she finally made her decision! Netflix announced the final episode of a series that will impress its fans as much as it does on Tuesday, August 16. breaking Bad before that. When asked by The Hollywood Reporter, Peter Gould, co-creator of the universe with Vince Gillingan, announced the end of the BCS:

” It seems fair to me to end the story with Saul behind bars. ‘ he assures. This is an ending that could be described as optimistic as it changes. Anyone who studies human behavior will tell you that true change is very difficult and very rare. In drama series we always say “It’s the development of the character that counts”, but sometimes characters become even more deeply who they are or follow their own established paths. [Saul] A man with self-destructive urges that keep coming back and doing things he really doesn’t need to do. Like working with Walter White or breaking into Mr. Lingk’s house, even when he could wake up at any moment. »

One thing is for sure, this final episode didn’t disappoint viewers, like the whole saga that can hurt compared to its older sister. breaking Bad. Gould also said that it would be impossible to finish Better Call Saul, as was the case with the show where Walter White and Jesse Pinkman were in control. Walt was dying from the pilot of Breaking Bad (…) In a way, Walt died the way he wanted. He dies despised by the world and his family, but he has achieved the goals he had from the very beginning: he was able to leave money to his family, he is leaving in apotheosis, and he is not simply the anonymous type. Saul has a different mind and not very clear thinking. There are more people I know. Looking. Looking for meaning in everything. He doesn’t feel the pressure of his own mortality like Walt does. So the outcome had to be different (…) Saul had no weapons in his hand throughout the series, so his ending couldn’t have been as violent as Walt’s. He’s a man of words, so obviously the end of the show would be based on words. »

As for a potential sequel or other spin-off, Peter Gould is less categorical than Vince Gilligan, who recently announced the end of the Breaking Bad universe: If we were to go back to it, we would need a lot of new ideas that would enrich the universe and give it something different. The thing I’m most proud of about Better Call Saul is that it’s not Breaking Bad (…) I don’t want to open a new chapter in this story that doesn’t hold water. We have nothing planned for now and we want to try other things but where there is life there is hope. “.
