Badgley recently set down with Buzzfeed for an interview, and one thing that came up during the conversations are the roles he auditioned for, but never won. He was one of the actors in the running for the role of Jesse Pinkman, but it wasn’t meant to be.

“One I got close on was Breaking Bad. It was between me and Aaron Paul, we tested. Actually, that was the best television script I’d read at that point. That was the one that got away,” said the Gossip Girl alum.

Aaron Paul eventually got his big break in the role of Walter White’s former student and right-hand man Jessie Pinkman. He portrayed this character between 2008 and 2013, won three Emmy Awards for this performance, and later reprised the role in the Netflix film El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie.

Badgley’s career also flourished despite his failure to land this role. He rose to prominence while playing Dan Humphrey in Gossip Girl, and he’s currently starring as Joe Goldberg in the hit Netflix series You.

A cameo by these two characters was a long time coming and Better Call Saul co-creator Peter Gould confirmed it’s going to happen during a recent appearance at PaleyFest. Co-creator Vince Gilligan echoed his statement while chatting with Variety at the Better Call Saul Season 6 premiere.

“These two worlds cross over in a way that you haven’t seen before, that’s for sure. It would be a damn shame if the show ended without [Cranston and Paul] appearing, would it not?” said Gilligan.

It’s still unclear in what capacity Cranston and Paul will return, but they’re not the first Breaking Bad actors to appear in the show’s spin-off. The list also includes Bob Odenkirk as Saul Goodman, Jonathan Banks as Mike Ehrmantraut, and Giancarlo Esposito as Gus Fring, among others.

Better Call Saul will conclude its run with the sixth and final season. It will premiere on AMC on April 18 and it will consist of 13 episodes split into two parts.

The BBC decided to rank the 100 best series of the last 21 years by asking 206 experts in 43 countries to share their favourites. 

“The result is a list that stands as a true testament to the power, versatility and innovation of the medium over the last two decades,” the British broadcaster stated. 

The Wire, which aired five seasons between 2002 and 2008, came in the top spot. Set in Baltimore, the series has been described as a gritty look at how law enforcement filters into other institutions in the city. 

“I’m glad the show has a shelf life,” said creator David Simon in response to the honour. “The writers had in their heads the idea, ‘If a society is going to have a law enforcement arm, what’s the job of that institution?’ If you write a show like that, it will have a shelf life for as long as those systems are in play.”

Other fan favorites also made the list, including the U.S. version of The Office at 39 (the UK version came in at 9), Grey’s Anatomy at 47, Black Mirror at 22, The Big Bang Theory at 56, and The Queen’s Gambit at 100.

Following The Wire in the top 5 were Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Fleabag, and Game of Thrones.

Better Call Saul is a Netflix prequel to the popular TV show Breaking Bad. The prequel follows the story of Heisenberg’s lawyer Saul Goodman and explains how he ended up, well, breaking bad.

By the end of season five, the show brings us very close to the Breaking Bad timeline. We’re not quite sure how much the shows will crossover but Gould has suggested that there will be more of a connection than we anticipated.

“I think by the time you finish watching Better Call Saul, you’re going to see Breaking Bad in a very different light,” Gould told The Hollywood Reporter.

“I think we’re going to learn things about the characters in Breaking Bad that we didn’t know. We’re going to learn things about the events of Breaking Bad that we didn’t know.”

He added “We’re going to learn things about the fates of a lot of these characters that may surprise people or certainly throw them into a different light.”

Season six of Better Call Saul will be the final season of the show. It currently has no release date.

The Golden Globe winning actor said in an interview with Collider he will be happy to step back into the chemist-turned-drug king’s shoes. “I would be in it if Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould, who are co-executive producers on it, wanted me to be in it,” Cranston said. “I would do it in a second. But it hasn’t happened yet, I can tell you, and we’ll see. I don’t know. There’s one more season to go and we’ll see what happens!”

Cranston may also contribute to the show from the other side of the camera. “I have been asked to direct an episode every single season and it just didn’t work out because of a commitment to doing a play or doing a movie or something, so I wasn’t able to section out the times available,” he said.

Paul and Ritter played the iconic Breaking Bad duo, Jesse and Jane. Ritter appeared in season two as Jesse’s ex-addict tattoo artist next-door neighbor.

Now, the duo is reuniting for the audible series, The Coldest Case: A Black Book Drama. Game of Thrones actress Nathalie Emmanuel (Missandei) will also be joining the project.

The story follows the homicide detective Bill Harney who is investigating a Chicago drug ring. The official synopsis reads: “When several members of the ring turn up dead, Billy abruptly pulls Kate out, blowing her cover. Kate’s informant inside the gang disappears — along with the ring’s black book.

“As Billy and Kate investigate the ring’s murders, they’ll be pulled into a dangerous web of corrupt politicians, vengeful billionaires, drugged pro-athletes, and violent, dark web conspiracies, all in search of the missing black book.”

The Coldest Case: A Black Book Drama is a prequel to James Patterson’s 2017 novel.

The show concluded in 2013 but it’s still considered by many to be one of the best shows of all time. The spin-off series, Better Call Saul, is still underway and brings the pre-Heisenberg timeline up to the point of Gus Fring’s meth empire.

The new series will be called The Broken and the Bad and will take a look back at some of the biggest moments in both the series and the spin-off. It will tie these moments in with similar events that have happened in the real world.

One episode is set to focus on Chunk MicGill’s storyline and will delve into the mystery of a town where people with electromagnetic hypersensitivity can live in peace.

The series is described as being “inspired by the most memorable characters, situations, and themes of the Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad universe and focuses on the real-world stories that mirror the fictional worlds of both shows”.

No official release date for the series has been announced yet.

The clip shows Pinkman from his days as a meth cook before he met Walter White, through all the hardships he goes through during the show like being pummeled by Hank and his relationship with Jane Margolis and her death till his running away at the end of the show. No new footage is revealed, unfortunately.

The movie is due to go on Netflix on October 11. It was filmed in secret and its existence was revealed last month in an interview with actor Bob Odenkirk who played Saul Goodman on the show and on the prequel spin-off Better Call Saul. The network released a sneak pick for the movie featuring Jesse’s friend Skinny Pete being interrogated.

A teaser trailer released by the network shows a man being interrogated by the police about the whereabouts of Pinkman. “There is no way I’m helping you put Pinkman in a cage,” the man says.

Apparently, the news about the new movie leaked accidentally when Bob Odenkirk, who plays Saul Goodman told Hollywood Reporter about it. “I find it hard to believe you don’t know it was shot,” he said. “They did it. You know what I mean? How is that a secret? But it is. They’ve done an amazing job of keeping it a secret.”

The Emmy winning series Breaking Bad came into its dramatic conclusion about 6 years ago. Since then another spin-off to the show became a critical success. Better Call Saul follows the character of Saul Goodman, who was Walter White’s lawyer in the original show. The AMC show is now in its 5^th season.

El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie will go online on October 11.

Both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul are available on Netflix now.

It has been announced that Vince Gilligan is creating a movie set in the world of Breaking Bad. We have no idea when during the Breaking Bad timeline the movie will be set, but we know that it will be set in the existing BB franchise.

Sources say that the working title of the movie is “Greenbrier”. It will allegedly follow a kidnapped man’s escape and quest for freedom. This might be a total shot in the dark, but could they be talking about Jesse Pinkman? Aaron Paul’s character was last seen escaping from Jack’s gang after they kidnapped him and forced him to make meth. Could the new film be about what happened to Jesse next? We can dream.

If you’re nervous that the movie will somehow obstruct the original material, rest assured. Vince Gilligan (the mind behind Breaking Bad) will be in complete control, writing the script, executive producing and maybe even directing. The BB spin-off series Better Call Saul has been a huge success so our hopes are understandably high for the one-off two-hour feature.

We will be sharing more exciting details when they are announced.
