The Breaking Bad spinoff Better Call Saul will feature at least two familiar faces on its cast, as Jonathan Banks has been announced to join the production. On Breaking Bad, Banks played everyone’s favorite serial killer for hire, Mike Ehrmantraut and he is going to reprise the role in the Albuquerque-set prequel, The Hollywood Reporter confirms, based on statements from AMC and Sony reps.Banks himself is yet to comment on the news. On the inevitable danger of sequel fatigue, Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan had this to say back in October: "There's obviously a danger inherent in doing a spinoff, but I just love the character of Saul Goodman [Odenkirk] so much, and part of me doesn't want to say no to this world."
Bob Odenkirk and Jonathan Banks are the only two actors to return for the spin-off so far, although Gilligan has explained on several occasions that he would love to get more of the former cast members to join the project. Cameo status on Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul is still unknown although Cranston again stated this week he was keen. The premiere date for Better Call Saul also remains unannounced, although AMC have teased it for sometime in November.
