Better Call Saul is set six years before the events of Breaking Bad when Jimmy McGill is just a small-time lawyer hustling to make a buck.
Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould return to the world of Breaking Bad as executive producers on the prequel series. Mark Johnson and Melissa Bernstein are also executive producing the series. Charlie Collier, president of AMC, said in a statement,
“This February, during AMC’s first ever two-night series premiere event, we’re going to introduce Jimmy McGill to the world. Known to Breaking Bad fans as Saul Goodman, viewers will soon discover Saul wasn’t always Albuquerque’s top criminal (criminal) lawyer. Huge thanks to Vince Gilligan, Peter Gould, Bob Odenkirk, our partners at Sony, and the entire team. We’re thrilled to be cooking together again.”
