BREAKING Bad’s Aaron Paul teases epic TV return as Jesse Pinkman alongside Bryan Cranston as Walter White.
After six seasons of anticipation and teases, Aaron and Bryan are set to reprise their iconic roles for the final season in spin-off series Better Call Saul.
Aaron told The Hollywood Reporter that their return comes about in a “very unexpected” way.
The 42-year-old actor said: “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 [creators] Vince [Gilligan] and Peter [Gould] and the rest of the writers to come up with the perfect way. It’s fun. I think people are going to be excited.”
He admitted: “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.’ And I was like, ‘What?!’
“So I didn’t see that coming. But to be honest, I’m happy to be able to finally talk about it and not be squirrelly. It’s nice to be able to be open about it. 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.”

He added: “It is just so cool to see what they’ve accomplished. I feel so blessed to be a very small part of it.”
Taking to Twitter, the official Better Call Saul account surprised fans by sharing a photo of Jesse and Walt in a car, with the message: “They’re coming back. #BetterCallSaul.”
Fans were mind blown by the news as one said: “Well, that’s my year made!”
Another wrote: “Awww yeah! The moment us Breaking Bad fans have been waiting for! The timelines have finally caught up…Bring it on!”
A third penned: “Oh this season gonna be spectacular.”
Bryan and Aaron played Walter and Jesse respectively in the acclaimed drama, which ran for five seasons from 2008 until 2013.
They also appeared in 2019’s El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie, which picked up exactly after the finale.
Better Call Saul is available to stream on Netflix now.
