The Breaking Bad universe has concluded, as of now anyway, with the series finale of Better Call Saul on Monday night. While the future looks grim in some ways for the former lawyer turned inmate, the show’s ending is also a bit hopeful as it showed that Bob Odenkirk’s Jimmy McGill really was capable of change, even if it came at great cost. After Jimmy gets a surprise visit from the love of his life, Kim Wexler (Rhea Seehorn), the future of both characters following that moment was left up to the viewers to imagine what happens next.
Possible Better Call Saul spinoff being considered
Speaking with AMC.com following the finale, showrunner and co-creator Peter Gould touched on the show’s ending. Gould said it was intentional to add some ambiguity to the finale, leaving it up to interpretation about the future of Jimmy and Kim. Even Gould likes to imagine that Kim still has feelings for her ex and what that might mean for their relationship and hopes that viewers are similarly wondering about these characters.
Fans can imagine all they want, but will there ever be any more stories that will actually be told in the Breaking Bad universe? Better Call Saul creators Gould and Vince Gilligan have both said they want to pursue other projects at this time, but Gould is much more optimistic about the possibility of one day doing another spinoff. It would just have to depend upon getting an idea that’s strong enough to stand on its own. One possibility, as Gould points out, would be to check back in with Kim Wexler, who still has “more to do” in the Breaking Bad universe.
Jimmy ending up in prison is not great news for him in the Breaking Bad Universe
Going to prison for likely the rest of his life is obviously not great news for Jimmy McGill. With that said, Gould has teased that perhaps prison won’t be where the former conman winds up spending the rest of his life. Knowing Jimmy and his courtroom prowess, especially coupled with the potential assistance from Kim Wexler’s brilliant legal mind, Gould can’t help but wonder if that 86-year sentence is really going to stick.
Time will tell if a spinoff series happens, but chances are Kim will be a part of those discussions if Gilligan and Gould ever decide to go back and revisit that world.
