Fans of the wildly successful series starring their favorite high school teacher turned meth lord can now have their first glimpse of the Breaking Bad spinoff series .
Better Call Saul stars Bob Odenkirk's Saul in his younger days as a crooked lawyer who is working under the alias "James M. McGill."
The ten-second clip features Saul making pitches to potential clients to avail of his services. He says, "Lawyers. We're like health insurance. You hope you never need it, but man oh man. Not having it? No!"
Admittedly much of the anticipation for this new show stems from fans wanting to see their beloved characters from the original show in this Breaking Bad spinoff series. Hopes were up for this possibility after the show's executive producer talked about cameos that could happen in Better Call Saul.
Executive Producer Peter Gould, in an interview with New York Daily News said that the spinoff could possibly include scenes that happen during the Breaking Bad timeline. And if this is so, fans could reasonably expect to see Bran Cranston as Walter White once more.
He also talks about the possibilities of having Breaking Bad characters appear on the spinoff. "One of the great things about having a timeline which is flexible is that perhaps some of it takes place before Breaking Bad, during Breaking Bad, and after Breaking Bad," Gould said, "That gives us the ability to bring back characters that were killed on Breaking Bad."
Walter White himself, Bryan Cranston cleared the air about the possibility of him making an appearance in the Breaking Bad spinoff.
"I don't know in what context it would work in, because we're in different phases. The characters didn't meet until the second season of Breaking Bad, when Walter needed to meet him. I suppose they could have a serendipitous brush of each other down the street or in the market, but I don't know what good that'll do-it's just a little cookie."
But even if cameos are not imminent, Cranston will still be present in the new series in the capacity of director.
"I'm looking forward to going down there next year and directing an episode, though. It's family. They've got the same crew, and it's exciting to think that we can rekindle that flame; that it's still alive."
