Jason LaVeris--FilmMagic by [Megan Gibson](https://time.com/author/megan-gibson/) ## Megan Gibson Jul 1, 2014 12:10 PM UTC The producers of AMC’s _Better Call Saul_ could yet [bring Walter White back](http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv/breaking-bad-spinoff-bring-back-walter-white-article-1.1847159) — even for just a brief time. The upcoming show is a spin-off of _Breaking Bad_, about the unorthodox lawyer Saul Goodman (played by Bob Odenkirk) who aided the meth kingpin White (played by Bryan Cranston) in the original series. Though the series was originally thought to be a prequel to _Breaking Bad_, it seems that the creators have decided to have fun with the timeline. Executive producer Peter Gould told the [New York _Daily News_](http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv/breaking-bad-spinoff-bring-back-walter-white-article-1.1847159) that the new show will jump back and forth in time and will include scenes from the setting of _Breaking Bad_, where White sold crystal meth. “One of the great things about having a time line which is flexible is that perhaps some of it takes place before _Breaking Bad_, during _Breaking Bad_, and after _Breaking Bad_‘. That gives us the ability to bring back characters that were killed on _Breaking Bad_,” said Gould. Yet Gould also told the _Daily News_ that cameos of _Breaking Bad_ characters wouldn’t necessarily determine the direction of the new series, adding “\[w\]e want to make a show that stands on it own, is its own story and is a brand extension.” With or without Walter White, AMC executives certainly seems confident in _Saul_‘s prospects: they’ve already ordered a second season. \[[_NYDN_](http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv/breaking-bad-spinoff-bring-back-walter-white-article-1.1847159)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/2944865/walter-white-could-make-an-appearance-on-better-call-saul/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/2944865/walter-white-could-make-an-appearance-on-better-call-saul/"},"headline":"Walter White Could Make an Appearance on Better Call Saul","datePublished":"2014-07-01T12:10:35.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T08:54:57.528Z","description":"The \"Breaking Bad\" spin-off could feature everyone's favorite meth cooking anti-hero after all","url":"https://time.com/2944865/walter-white-could-make-an-appearance-on-better-call-saul/","keywords":["Television","walter white","breaking bad","AMC","Better Call Saul"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta3cf04fc9afc25d6/698699fad0b6f23866305167/117953258.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan Gibson","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/megan-gibson/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta3cf04fc9afc25d6/698699fad0b6f23866305167/117953258.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"AMC's \"Breaking Bad\" Season 4 Premiere","caption":"AMC's \"Breaking Bad\" Season 4 Premiere","creditText":"Jason LaVeris--FilmMagic","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/2944865/walter-white-could-make-an-appearance-on-better-call-saul/","name":"Walter White Could Make an Appearance on Better Call Saul"}}]}] ```
