Better Call Saul Season 4 is fast approaching and creator Vince Gilligan has confirmed that the overlap between Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul is getting “bigger and bigger.”
“Season four is so good,” Gilligan told The Hollywood Reporter.“It gets darker, it gets richer. It’s still got funny in it, but on the Venn diagram of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, the overlap in the center is getting bigger and bigger.”
The producer continued: “There is a very important character — I’m not promising you ever saw this character, but there was a very important character nonetheless from the Breaking Bad era who we’re going to meet this year. You’re going to be impressed with him.”
Executive producer Melissa Bernstein then confirmed that the character will be “Lalo”, who is referenced in season 2 of Breaking Bad but never introduced in person.
“[Other than Lalo], we have a couple of new characters that we’ll be reintroducing to the world,” she then added. “We probably don’t want to say who yet, just to preserve the fun of that for the fans.”
