Bob Odenkirk Says BETTER CALL SAUL Season 5 is "Shattering in Every Direction"
Better Call Saul has been an incredible series to watch. In some ways I think it’s even better than Breaking Bad. It’s been an emotionally devastating story as we’ve watched Jimmy McGill slowly transform into Saul Goodman. It’s been one hell of a crazy and heart-wrenching journey.
Well, according to star Bob Odenkirk, things are really going to ramp up in Season 5, and the best is yet to come. During an interview with Deadline, the actor hyped it up saying that the season is going to blow our minds and that it’s “shattering in every direction.”
“It’s the best season we’ve ever done, it’s going to blow your mind, and I’m not kidding about either of those things. It’s fucking awesome. I can’t wait for people to see it. It’s just shattering in every direction, and I love it.”
One of the things that I like most about the show is that it’s been completely unpredictable. You never know what’s coming! In a separate interview with Variety, showrunner Peter Gould teased that everything has been leading up to an episode that will air in the fifth season:
“Right now we’re towards the end of shooting Season 5, and we have an episode which is pretty much what I pictured the show to be before we started, and it took us more than 40 some-odd episodes to get there. I think the great thing is you have to have faith in the characters.”
I’m happy with how this show ended up turning out. I honestly didn’t expect it to be as incredible as it is. The series continues to impress and surpass my expectations and I can’t wait for Season 5 to drop!
Better Call Saul season 5 will premiere in 2020.
