Better Call Saul is the Breaking Bad spinoff series based on the show's popular Saul Goodman character. Plans call for Saul to be a one-hour prequel that will focus on the evolution of the popular Saul Goodman character before he ever became Walter White's lawyer. / The series is expected to star Bob Odenkirk with writer-producer Peter Gould set to run the effort. Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan, who conceived of the spinoff with Gould, will remain involved. Like Bad, the series will be produced by Sony, where Gilligan spent several years under an overall deal.
