"Better Call Saul" Will Take Place Before, During, and After "Breaking Bad"

We may not have seen the last of Walter White.

Peter Gould, executive producer of AMC’s "Breaking Bad" spinoff "Better Call Saul", told the New York Daily News that the spinoff will jump between decades and may even include scenes that take place during the "Breaking Bad" timeline.

This means that there’s a chance Bryan Cranston will reprise his three-time Emmy-winning role as school teacher-turned-meth kingpin Walter White.

“One of the great things about having a timeline which is flexible is that perhaps some of it takes place before Breaking Bad, during Breaking Bad, and after Breaking Bad,” Gould told The New York Daily News.

“That gives us the ability to bring back characters that were killed on Breaking Bad.”

The spinoff, however, will not be dependent on guest appearances from "Breaking Bad" alums. Gould insisted that he and the rest of the "Better Call Saul" team wanted to “make a show that stands on it own, is its own story, and is a brand extension.”

“We think we have a story that is worth making,” said Gould. “We could never dream of the kind of success that Breaking Bad had, and the love we got from the fans. But at a certain point you have to do the best job you can and tell the best story that entertains you, get a good response and hope people like it.”

So far, the only confirmed "Breaking Bad" alums who have signed on for "Better Call Saul" are Bob Odenkirk (Saul) and Jonathan Banks (Mike).
