Better Call Saul always did a great job bringing our favorite Breaking Bad characters back and the final season will feature the most exciting cameo yet. Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul are set to return as Walter White and Jesse Pinkman on Better Call Saul.

Better Call Saul was developed as a spin-off of Breaking Bad, which focused on chemistry teacher-turned drug lord Walter White and his former student and protégé Jesse Pinkman. The focus shifted on their shady lawyer Saul Goodman on the spin-off show, but several beloved characters made a comeback throughout its run.

Cranston and Paul join Jonathan Banks as Mike Ehrmantraut, Giancarlo Esposito as Gus Fring, Mark Margolis as Hector Salamanca, and many other Breaking Bad actors who reprised their original roles on Better Call Saul.

The duo’s return was a long time coming, and co-creator Peter Gould finally confirmed they’re coming back during a recent appearance at PaleyFest.

“I will say the first question we had when we started the show was, ‘Are we gonna see Walt and Jesse on the show?’ Instead of evading, I’ll just say yeah. How or the circumstances or anything, you’ll just have to discover that for yourself,” said Gould.

Better Call Saul will return for its sixth and final season on April 18 on AMC.
