AMC confirmed today that there would indeed be a Breaking Bad spinoff but unfortunately not one featuring Walter White.
According to the Huffington Post, a Breaking Bad spinoff entitled Better Call Saul is happening.
The show is set to be a one-hour series which will be a prequel to the Breaking Bad timeline focusing on Saul’s life before he became Walter White’s lawyer.
AMC and Sony released a statement today declaring: “AMC and Sony Pictures Television confirmed today that they have reached a licensing agreement for a spinoff of Vince Gilligan’s landmark AMC/SPT series ‘Breaking Bad.’
“As conceived, the new series is based on the show’s popular Saul Goodman character with the working title ‘Better Call Saul.’ Plans call for Saul to be a one-hour prequel that will focus on the evolution of the popular Saul Goodman character before he ever became Walter White’s lawyer.”
Good news for Breaking Bad fans, which is, of course, everyone.
