BETTER CALL SAUL Featurette Focuses on Characters
AMC has released a new behind-the-scenes featurette for Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould’s Breaking Bad prequel/spin-off series, Better Call Saul. The video includes the cast and crew of the series discussing the characters that will be included in it. Those characters include Bob Odenkirk’s Jimmy McGill, Michael McKean’s Chuck McGill, Patrick Fabian’s Howard Hamlin, Rhea Seehorn’s Kim Wexler, and of course, Jonathan Banks as Mike Ehrmantraut.
The series is set six years before Saul Goodman meets Walter White. “When we meet him, the man who will become Saul Goodman is known as Jimmy McGill, a small-time lawyer searching for his destiny, and, more immediately, hustling to make ends meet. Working alongside, and, often, against Jimmy, is Mike Erhmantraut. The series will track Jimmy’s transformation into Saul Goodman, the man who puts “criminal” in ‘criminal lawyer.’ The series’ tone is dramatic, woven through with dark humor.”
Gilligan directed the first of ten episodes for the first season. The series has already been greenlit for a second season with 13 episodes. it’s set to premiere on February 9th, 2015.
