The actor, who originated the character on Breaking Bad, said he&#8217;s open to the idea, but certain conditions would have to be met. First and foremost, Odenkirk noted, Saul is incarcerated: &#8220;He\u2019s not getting out. If there&#8217;s another Saul show, it takes place inside prison.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Second: &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/person\/vince-gilligan\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Vince Gilligan;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Vince Gilligan<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/person\/peter-gould\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Peter Gould;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Peter Gould<\/a> created that show.

His first-ever appearance came during his tenure as a writer for Saturday Night Live, which lasted from 1987-1991, but he quickly graduated to appearances on sitcoms like Roseanne, The Larry Sanders Show, and his own series, Mr. Show with Bob and David, which he co-created with David Cross.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">He continued to be cast nearly entirely in comedic roles until Gilligan picked him for the unscrupulous lawyer and former conman Saul Goodman on Breaking Bad.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;That part turned my life around, and I&#8217;ve given more to that part than anything I&#8217;ve done,&#8221; Odenkirk reminisced, but said he&#8217;s &#8220;fine with moving on&#8221; from the character, as well as his Nobody and Nobody 2 character Hutch Mansell. &#8220;They&#8217;re guys who, for different reasons, have pretty big chips on their shoulders, and that&#8217;s hard to play after a while&#8230; You can\u2019t just carry that guy around all the time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Sign up for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/forms.dotdashmeredith.com\/ew-tv-inline-offer\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Entertainment Weekly&#039;s\u00a0free daily newsletter;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Entertainment Weekly&#8217;s\u00a0free daily newsletter<\/a>\u00a0to get breaking news, exclusive first looks, recaps, reviews, interviews with your favorite stars, and more.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Though open to a third potential return in the Breaking Bad universe, Odenkirk noted that his own busy schedule, as well as Gilligan&#8217;s and Gould&#8217;s full plates, may make that difficult. &#8220;I think they\u2019ve all moved on to some more amazing projects that you&#8217;ll soon see.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Ursula Coyote\/AMC Bob Odenkirk and Bryan Cranston on 'Breaking Bad'\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"428\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/6567a8972cef77611e1d6c8c014803b4.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Ursula Coyote\/AMC<\/p>\n<p> Bob Odenkirk and Bryan Cranston on &#8216;Breaking Bad&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Odenkirk&#8217;s Better Call Saul costar <a href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/person\/rhea-seehorn\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Rhea Seehorn;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Rhea Seehorn<\/a>, who played Saul&#8217;s co-worker, then love interest, then wife Kim Wexler, is already <a href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/bob-odenkirk-vince-gilligan-pluribus-biggest-show-since-game-of-thrones-11790980\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:plotting a reunion;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">plotting a reunion<\/a> with one of their former series creators.
