Bob Odenkirk who plays the lawyer Saul Goodman on "Breaking Bad" will be leading the new series, "Better Call Saul." Saul is a morally compromised lawyer who has represented the meth dealers Walter White and Jesse Pinkman.
The rumored spinoff of “Breaking Bad” is going forward as announced on Wednesday by AMC and Sony Pictures Television.
AMC had an exclusive negotiating period, but no deal was in place by the time that ended. Out of consideration for the partnership over “Breaking Bad,” however, the period was extended and AMC and Sony concluded a deal.
The series, which does not yet have a date to go on the air, will be a prequel rather than a sequel.
