Better Call Saul: Walt & Jesse will return in an unexpected way

The debut of the sixth and final season of Better Call Saul is just days away. Fans have long suspected that Walt Whitman and Jesse Pinkman will turn up before Better Call Saul cuts to black, and series co-creator Peter Gould confirmed that the Breaking Bad duo would return during the final season. The exact nature of their return is being kept under wraps, but Aaron Paul confirmed to THR that it’s done in a very unexpected way.

Yeah. To be honest, I’m such a fan of Better Call Saul that I just didn’t initially see how they were going to do it. But of course, leave it to Vince and Peter and the rest of the writers to come up with the perfect way. It’s fun. I think people are going to be excited.

Aaron Paul did admit that he was a little surprised that Peter Gould and Vince Gilligan let the cat out of the bag so early. “Shocked! I was heading to the [final season] premiere party of Better Call Saul, and they go, ‘There’s a flag on the play. Just so you know, Vince and Peter let everyone know that you and Bryan are going to be in the final season,’” Paul said. “And I was like, ‘What?!’ So I didn’t see that coming.

As Aaron Paul had to keep the secret of El Camino for some time, he said that he’s happy to finally be able to talk about Jesse and Walt appearing on Better Call Saul, although he naturally can’t say much about how the characters will return. “It’s nice to be able to be open about it,” Paul said. “So I’m excited. I think fans of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul might have been expecting it. They’ve been seeing the Breaking Bad family slowly appear within the walls of Better Call Saul, so I think it would be odd if Walt and Jesse didn’t make an appearance. So I’m excited that we did and how we did. I think people are going to be thrilled about it.

Better Call Saul season 6 will premiere with two back-to-back episodes on April 18th.
