Looks like the Breaking Bad fanatics don't have to be so sad anymore.

Breaking Bad‘s Saul Goodman will live on at AMC. After lengthy negotiations, the cable network and Breaking Bad producer Sony Pictures TV have reached a licensing agreement for a spinoff from Vince Gilligan‘s acclaimed drama series. The spinoff series, tentatively titled Better Call Saul, had been in the works for months. It centers on one of Breaking Bad‘s most recognizable supporting characters, Bob Odenkirk‘s unflappable criminal lawyer Saul Goodman.

Conceived by Breaking Bad creator Gilligan and series writer-producer Peter Gould, who created the Saul character together for a Season 2 episode written by Gould, the spinoff will be a one-hour prequel that will focus on the evolution of the Goodman character before he ever became Walter White’s lawyer, AMC said. The network wouldn’t elaborate on the project’s status, but I’ve learned Better Call Saul has a series order pending the complication of Sony TV’s deals with Gilligan, Gould and Odenkirk. The pact between AMC and Sony TV came after talks between the two sides came down to the wire, with other outlets, including Netflix, which has had huge success with Breaking Bad, very interested in snatching the spinoff series.

The title of the spinoff comes from the original Saul episode of Breaking Bad, titled “Better Call Saul”, in which Walt (Bryan Cranston) and Jesse (Aaron Paul) hire the flamboyant Goodman after Badger (Matt L. Jones) is caught by the DEA. Goodman, who has been a regular presence on the show since, is a sleazy but highly competent criminal lawyer with a penchant for over-the-top TV commercials in which he uses his signature tagline “Better Call Saul!” Saul has served as Breaking Bad‘s comic relief, which is not surprising given Odenkirk’s strong comedy background. While hourlong, the spinoff is expected to be be far less dark than the original series, with more comedy infused into it.

Gilligan has been high on the idea for over a year. “I would love to see a Saul Goodman spinoff,” he said in a July 2012 interview. “I like the idea of a lawyer show in which the main lawyer will do anything it takes to stay out of a court of law. He’ll settle on the courthouse steps, whatever it takes to stay out of the courtroom. That would be fun — I would like that.”

Do you think Chuck will actually die? I said to a mate during the second season that I wouldn't be surprised if they kill him off, since he was never seen or mentioned in Breaking Bad. But then again, neither was Kim... I reckon she'll probably just have a huge falling out with Jimmy though and they'll go their separate ways, or something like that.
 
@Noodles

Agree about Kim. As for Chuck, yes, I believe they could kill him off. It's gonna be interesting and I wonder how many seasons they are planning and how much of Jimmy's Saul Goodman practice we will see?

You read anything mate?

Good Season Final
I think Chuck will die.
Jimmy loss of his Brother and the Clients will make him broken and Lost. He lost his lost piece of moral as a lawyer and start with the Saul Godman Stuff and maybe this will bring the break with Kim.

Thoughts on finale:
I think Chuck died. I felt like someone was going to and it could have easily been Kim in the last episode, but it didn't happen.

Also, I started thinking back today on the episode... was Mike not in it??? I don't seem to remember a single scene with him in the finale.

Yeah, they really need to start stepping things up a gear if we're going to see the real Saul, because so far the build up has been quite slow IMO... not that it hasn't been enjoyable though!

Have I read anything about what bud?

Agreed... he'll probably drive her away once he goes full on conman, which will be kind of bittersweet, since I like Kim but want to see the REAL Saul!

Nope, he wasn't! I hadn't even thought about that until you mentioned it.

Oh, nah... I've not heard anything about that mate. Personally, I'd love to see them go beyond the amount of seasons they did for Breaking Bad. :)
