Jonathan Banks Joins 'Breaking Bad' Spin-off, 'Better Call Saul'

DateMon, January 27, 2014

Jonathan Banks will indeed be back as Mike Ehrmantraut in the Breaking Bad spin-off, Better Call Saul.

Though Vince Gilligan had teased it, the fan favorite character will be returning as a series regular for the prequel show which will follow the exploits of Saul Goodman and his career as a criminal lawyer before Walter White came walking through his door.

Vince Gilligan has described this show as '70% comedy, 30% drama' whereas Breaking Bad was the other way around.

I'm still not sure about this one.  As a die hard Breaking Bad fan, I feel they should just leave it alone and let live on in television history.  Yeah, Saul Goodman was a great character for jokes here and there, but can Bob Odenkirk really carry on the legacy of Bryan Cranston for one-hour at a time as the series lead?

We shall see.

The series is expected to debut this November.
