Ranking Breaking Bad Spin-offs (And why they won't work...) 

Edit 2: Walt Jr get's 9.7 million, not 900k. My bad lol Edit: I think I should add that I'm also bias (who isn't?) My criteria here is heavily based on the question, 'will there be character development?' if the answer was no, then I was already turned off from the ideas. I respect everyone's opinions, these vids wouldn't be possible without them!

I think it’s very clear Minerals would take place in the timeline where Hank climbed out of his own grave.

If Walter had his own show, that’d be epic if it were anything like Heisenberg’s show.

The Salamanca idea sounds like the best idea for a spin-off because, when you think about it, almost all major plot points go back to that family: Gustavo's revenge arc, Walt breaking into the game through Tuco, The "Twin Reapers" (as I call them) going after Walt and Hank, Lalo's feud with Gus and Saul. The man who gave birth to this family of menaces is Hector Salamanca. Lakota, Tuco, the Twins, it all goes back to Hector. Going back to his start in the drug game, exploring his development, and how he influenced his family could work, if done right. Wouldn't beat Breaking Bad, but I think it would be interesting to see.

I love the ”Breaking Bad 2” image, like Saul’s an old man, Flynn is an adult, but Jesse hasn’t aged a day

id love to see a "show" of just skinny pete and badger chatting about random shit

I think a single episode of just Jessie actually being happy in Alaska would be amazing. Such a tortured character deserves peace

If they did make a show about Walter Jr and Skyler, a good story for Flynn would be him trying to get in the DEA because of how much he looked up to his uncle Hank

Someone once pitched the idea of a show where Kaylee (mike's granddaughter) and Holly, 25 years later, team up to uncover the truth of what happened to Mike and Walt while working through the resentments they harbor towards their parental figures. Idk how they would carry that premise for more than one season, maybe a 6 episode miniseries in as a creatives' retrospective, but at least it's something.

Putting Better Fuel Huell in D Tier is actually criminal, it felt like he stabbed me in the heart.

I’m hoping we just a deleted scene with all of the Salamancas just interacting. Hector, Lalo, Tuco and the twins just talking. They come from the same background but they are all very different at the same time and that would be a good dynamic

A movie (similar to El Camino for Breaking Bad) explaining more of Gus Fring's origins wouldn't be bad. His history with Max, in Chile, getting in to the cartel, losing Max and plotting revenge on Hector Salamanca, the final logistics of the super-lab's creation from Lalo's death to the first time Gus shows Walt the super-lab. That would be an interesting character exploration imo

I always viewed better Call Saul as also Mike's show. It told us how he got into the business and I think it was exactly what I would have wanted from a Mike show.

Don't you DARE badmouth Better Fuel Huell! This show is modern masterpiece, once in a lifetime piece of art that defines a generation. Decades and centuries from now people in universities will be studying it's subtle and intricate writing and commentary on human condition. This is a classic, yet modern twist on a timeless narrative. A masterclass in both worldbuilding and storytelling.

To elaborate on your Salamanca family spin-off idea. Here's my pitch: Three ten episode seasons, each one focuses on a different era of the Salamanca family. Part 1: Rise of the Salamanca Basically the story that you set up in the video. An older man is trying to raise his grandson Hector after he lost his son in the war. Part 2: The Three Dons A season showing us the creation of the cartel and how Eladio,Bolsa and Hector got together. Maybe we get some elaboration on the Santiago incident that Lalo mentioned in S4 and Gustavo Fring's real identity Part 3: Lalo,Tuco and the twins Finally, a story that focuses on the Salamanca family at their peak. We get some fanservice moments like seeing Hector and a younger Lalo burning the hotel. It culminates in the four nephews of Hector single-handedly eliminating a whole rival gang by themselves and gaining their respects: Lalo becomes a don,Tuco gets put in charge of the operation in ABQ and the twins become the cartel's top henchmen. I hope y'all like my dumb ideas lol.

Honestly I think a sequel show about Walts family would work much better from the perspective of Holly. She never got to meet her father, or see the consequences the consequences of his actions, thus she could be more sympathetic towards the father figure she never got to have, instead blaming her depressive mother. This would mean it makes much more sense for her to enter her fathers trade in some manner (although the drug trade probably doesn’t take too kindly to strong female protagonists). Update if anyone gives a shit: I’ve been thinking about this over the past…. Year (I’m odd) and I think examining a mythologisation of Heisenburg and of greatness of decency would be interesting. Perhaps Hollys husband is just as much of a main character, one who has felt weak, and finds strength through a growing infatuation with the legend of Heisenburg. He may end up becoming so obsessed he has to find out everything he can - he finds Saul or Jesse, he entirely estranges himself and holly from the rest of the White family. Heisenburg represents the will to take control. He and holly are both (in different ways) trying to become Walter, and neither know that this figure they are replicating never really existed. (Also if he were to walk into a hat store in season 2 and then in the last season we saw him unboxing and putting on the HB hat, idk that would just be a cool da service moment)

I have an idea for a show about that Walter White fellow that Saul worked with. It would show his entrance into the drug world and follow his rise to power and moral descent into villainy up until his death. They could call it Better Halt Walt or something

A hank prequel special on an unrelated early cartel bust in his career would be something completely unnecessary but potentially fire

Another idea could be a documentary about Walter's empire set in the universe explaining the events of breaking bad and better call saul. They would interview people like Flynn, Saul, Skyler, Marie, Huel etc. It would only be 40 minuets- an hour but could still cover up a lot of questions

Honestly, I feel the best way for another spinoff is if Holly and Brock got together and tried to piece together the shattered pieces of their family history, with Flynn trying to get her to stop digging in to the past. Bonus points if there's a plot point with them searching for Jessie over rumors he might have fled to Alaska.

I think a fictional documentary about the events of breaking bad and better call Saul would be interesting with interviews from the characters

If breaking bad really wanted to go down the Salamanca 100 years ago, it would be a very interesting time, and not even for ww1. This was in the midst of the Mexican revolution, when you had loads of turmoil, conflict and massive personalities like Pancho Villa and Emiliano Zapata running around. You could definitely do something like "idealistic revolutionary becomes cynical mercenary becomes greedy druglord"

If there was a Walter Jr. spin-off, I’d imagine that he would use the money that Walter left him to help his mom out. But the show would begin while he is in adulthood as a DEA Rookie. Inspired by his Uncle Hank and fueled by his hatred for his father, wouldn’t be hard to imagine he also used the money to get through cop college or whatever. An imitation of the Blue Sky meth is back and he is appointed as the Lead Investigator. He’s forced into deep cover and gets intel from people who are still alive from Breaking Bad. Maybe he meets Saul again or characters like Huell, Skinny Pete, Badger, and maybe even the children that Gus mentioned he had since they would be teens at this point. 4 Seasons 10 eps each. We could even get an episode Dedicated to Marie Skyler and Holly and see where they are at. An episode about Flynn’s mental state. Being that deep into cover and helping men like his father would have a toll on his mental health. Maybe that causes him to understand what his father was doing like you said in the video an eventually we could get a scene where he’s on Walt’s grave, forgiving him. I dunno that’d be my take on it.

I haven't seen anyone recommend a Brock spin off. Wait 10+ years and have Brock join the criminal world all in the hopes of finding Jesse Pinkman and getting closure on what happened to his mom as he was most likely the one who found her body. You can have his journey eventually lead to visiting Saul in jail, confronting Badger and Skinny Pete, and of course ending up in Alaska finding Jesse Pinkman. This is the show I'd want to see.

Would a prequel of Gus not be the next logical spinoff?? I feel like we were told or shown enough where there's some tangible stories to base your plot around, but enough mystery to play around with and give us answers. It could start at why he left the army. Giving us some flashbacks when he was a kid that explains why he is the way he is. Mostly focusing on giving context as to why he initially wanted to get into the drug business. They can show how Los Pollos Hermanos comes to be. Really building up the relationship between him and his partner. They never come out and say he's homosexual or that they were intimate, but doing some "love of his life" storyline would give context as to why he chose to stay single at his age. Could have the halfway point of the series building up to showing the scene at Don Eladio's where he is killed. Showing the effect that moment changes him from a half way decent person to a complete psychopath hell bent on revenge, that we can further sympathize with. After that it could show how he eventually gets into working with the cartel, since Eladio originally told him to "stick with chicken" and he would be dead too but they know who he is. Then showing the power struggle he has with the Salamanca's that make them hate each other and how they eventually makes his way into America. Could bounce back and forth giving more context to everyone we know in the cartel until you meet them in Better Call Saul. Obviously you probably can't use the same actors which would suck, but I'm sure it would have people's interest regardless.

We literally only need a Gus Fring backstory and we’ll be set. It can include the Salamancas too

Id love a spin of that just focuses on how destroyed the world of breaking bad would be with the loss of walt’s blue and no cartel. A bunch of gangs fighting for control in a meth addicted Albuquerque would be amazing

I’m still holding out for “Francesca, Fring and Flynn”, where these characters open a breakfast restaurant together

3:48 Hanks casual racism was banter between two good friends, Hank and Gomez both had multiple times were they’d banter and talk about each others races. It’s just two best friends busting each others balls.

i would like the bb and bcs channel to just release a one hour video of Jesse just chopping wood in Alaska. that would conclude his story perfectly for me

I really like how Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul have so many interesting characters that could easily get their own spin-off, but I don't want more because it would end up like a cinematic universe type stuff with writers who have already told the story they want.

A Salamanca spin off would be awesome!! It would need to be WAY in the past and show how the family helped to build the cartel

TEDucation: Theodore "Ted" Beneke's own spinoff set before he became the owner and president of Beneke Fabricators. In this eight seasons long series, we follow how Ted was actually part of the Salamanca cartel long before the events of Better Call Saul. We also get to know some interesting backstories, for example about Lyle's childhood and how Gus got his first glasses.

For the Salamanca spin off I’d imagine that his son was lost to the Mexican Civil war instead of the Great War . It would make more sense since Mexico never got involved with the conflict and would add a sorta cowboy theme to the series

I actually really want to see a Huell spinoff. Huell to me has always been a character with an air of mystery around him. I think there is a lot we don’t know about him, and I think he’s generally more empathetic and down to earth than many other characters. I am very curious about his life in New Orleans, and I want to know how his relationship with his family and the city is. Usually when characters in BB/BCS move to Albuquerque from far away, like Mike or Jimmy, they had wanted to escape the life of their hometown. I wonder if Huell had fled New Orleans for a reason. Maybe the series could be about Huell trying to reconcile a broken relationship with his family, while his criminal past in New Orleans starts to catch up with him (and eventually expose his association with Walt). I really think there’s substance here.

I think a short series about Jesse just living a happy life in Alaska with no interruptions would be nice for the character, seeing as he’s never really been able to live a peaceful life in breaking bad

We need a 30 minute short film of all the Salamanca’s eating dinner together.

I think you underestimate how good Mike's spinoff could be. Even tho we have a solid understanding of his story I'd love to get into details of his and his son's story, and also I'm curious of what happened to his family after he died. Also considering his incredible skills and experience Mike definitely wasn't just a regular corrupted cop sitting in an office and it would be interesting to see how different was his son. I think this could fit in well in a 10 episodes and I'm way more interested in this story than in Salamanca family's Also they could create a spinoff where they would give us details of what happened to multiple characters who's story is open ended

I think a movie about Holly could work really well. It could be about her under home schooling and wondering what her mother has been hiding from her all these years. Holly starts uncovering the secrets of her families past by the searching about her father on the internet and maybe watching the VHS tape of Skylars baby shower. She could come into contact with the last remaining contributors to Walt’s crimes, maybe biking too Skinny Pete’s house and talking to him. The climax could be Holly running away from home in search of Jesse Pinkman by finding clues. She looks through Saul Goodmans boxed away belongings and finding the phone number too the guy who smuggled Jesse into Alaska, she then calls the department to find out it is owned by a new person and the previous owner was Edward Galbraith but he’s in a retirement home with only a couple weeks left to live, she gets information out of him that Jesse lives in Alaska so she sneaks into a train heading to Alaska and then searches for Pinkmans cabin. She eventually collapses in the middle of a blizzard since she’s just a little kid but wakes up in Jesses cabin since Pinkman is always good to kids and then we get this discussion about how she got there in the first place and eventually Jesse discusses his relationship with Walt and what he was like. The film ends with Jesse driving Holly back down to Albuquerque, Holly just lying about running away for some false sob story reason and Jesse visits Skinny Pete and Badger one last time.

Honestly, in terms of these characters, I’d say Holly is the most interesting in that she is a clean, blank slate as a character. And if you think her thing is done as a movie or as a miniseries or limited series, I think that’s a decent idea. Here’s my idea: Skyler had her plea deal with the feds, but it’s never actually established what that deal actually is. You can use this as a way to get things to where Holly is at an age where you can tell the story, which can start with Skyler being released from prison or adjusting to life outside prison. Or you could have it where Holly lives with Marie and regularly visits Skyler. Another thing you could set up is where Marie, Skyler, or both of them are slowly working to move on from the events of BB/BCS, namely with something like either of them dating and the new guy taking a new father figure role to Holly, be it Holly having a kind of mentor in an interest she has, or a marriage so Holly’s stepdad would take the role Walt would have had he lived longer and didn’t tear everything apart, if only to keep things from getting TOO depressing. I’d say the conflict would come from Skyler not approving of something Holly has an interest in because she’s afraid of her ending up like Walt (I’m not sure if you could add Gretchen and Elliot into this, but I think an inciting incident would be the reveal of the fact that Flynn’s money he received came from Walt’s coercing). Eventually, the thing that’ll make the story may not be Holly’s rebellion, but instead be from Skyler in that she comes to grips that she’s not only lying to Holly about who Walt, her biological father, actually was (even if it’s by omission), but also to herself in regards to her actions in Breaking Bad in laundering Walt’s money with the car wash and her affair with Ted, resulting in two truths that she can’t run from, even if she took a plea deal and went back to her maiden name: she was a willing participant in the Heisenberg enterprise and she also contributed to the family being as dysfunctional as it is. And while Holly will only see “not being supported in certain things” since she probably can’t comprehend the direct actions of Walt outside of what she’s told or reads about (MAYBE you can bring up the kidnapping saga), and you could turn that into getting increasingly frustrated at not getting straight answers from Skyler or Marie or Flynn in regards to Walt, only getting the same stock responses she’s been getting for years like “he was a teacher” and “he died when you were a baby”. And again, you could just have it be where Holly feels she has no support from her family in what she does, even if she doesn’t know about the full exploits of the one called Heisenberg. Eventually, at the end, Skyler, and maybe Marie and Flynn, realize that holding onto their resentment toward Walt, his actions, and the man he became could result in Holly, probably one of the few truly innocent people in the Heisenberg saga, hating them and that it won’t undo the damage caused like the death of Hank. So we can end it with Skyler and the family finally accepting the things Holly wants to do with her life, along with some talk about “using her powers for good” and it finally brings the story to the two things I find you can take away from this universe and narrative: 1. You are the master of your own fate and 2. The decisions you make are yours and yours alone, and you’re the only one that truly holds responsibility for your actions and their consequences. So what do you think ?

Honestly, I can see the Flynn show happening. I would love a one to two season mini series about the repercussions Walt left on his family, and Flynn being involved in gangs in later years by force. He begins to start taking the path Hank did and busts the operation from the inside, but learns the horrific experiences both the criminals and those who take care of them have to go through. Maybe, if it were to be longer, Walt Jr. decides to join the DEA. “I would rather take gallons of pain like that than let someone else take an ounce of it.” He rises up the ranks and some other drug operations are busted until he gets sent to Alaska to investigate sightings of a man who seems to be Jesse Pinkman, and he finds him. They get in a scuffle, but in the end, they have a conversation. Walt Jr. figures out the two are incredibly alike, due to… well, you can guess. Flynn would resign his position in the DEA and let Jesse live his life, stating he “couldn’t let himself finish what he started” to Skyler, who would be against her son taking a position in law enforcement, since she wants to leave any part of that life behind.

One thing that i've always found a bit weird is that hector is known as "tio"(uncle), he has a bunch of nephews and everything, but out of nowhere he has a grandson (that guy who jesse kills) with no mention of a son or daugther. So for the salamanca show, i think it would be interesting if instead of lall or hector as the main character, we'd have hector's son, who would initially start off as a cartel hitman but would eventually "break good" and either get killed or run away, forced to leave his son behond. But either way, he'd be disowned and completely forgotten by his family. This would give us a nice change from the other shows, as instead of a likeable protagonist slowly becoming more evil, we'd have a protagonist redeeming himself. We'd also have a lot of new backstory and character development for the salamancas, especially hector, since his relantionship with his son would probably be one of the focal points of the show

Jesse and Holly are the only characters in this series with any story left to tell IMO. Jesse because, even though he made it to Alaska, we don't know how he makes a new life there, and Holly just because she's a blank slate. I think a Jesse series could work, but I think you're right that it would be very tonally different from what came before. Then again, who knows. We all expected Better Call Saul to just be an episodic comedy. As for Holly, I think it would be cool to see where she ended up, but a series starring her could very easily end up being contrived. I think she goes down a bad path, personally. With Skyler and Flynn so broken, I think she'd have little support at home, and maybe she grows up morbidly fascinated by Walt's criminal legacy. But realistically, she just ends up as another teen making some bad choices. I don't think there's enough there to do more than maybe a movie.

What about a show about Gus? I think he is one of the most interesting characters/villains in the show and in Breaking Bad and in Better Call Saul we got a little insight in his past. A show about his past in Chile, how he met Maxwell and how he got into the business would probably work very well.

They should make a 1 season show about Jesse when he was in high school

I think the only thing I think could work would be an El Camino style movie but for Kim Wexler. Where you see how she deals with her past situation and how she chooses to move forward. I realize the ambiguity is kind of the point but hey it worked with Jesse

The two brilliant ideas I’ve had (and posted elsewhere) for BB/BCS spin-offs: 1) After Gretchen & Elliot decide that Walt was bluffing about having paid hit men to ensure that Flynn gets the money, they do indeed Welch on the agreement. The only problem is that Badger & Skinny Pete have somehow manage to convince themselves that this means they are, indeed now obligated to hunt down & kill them, and proceed to hatch numerous convoluted plots to fulfill their “contract”, with much wackiness ensuing. 2) Philadelphia, early 1980’s: a young (but somehow still grizzled) Mike Ehrmantraut is a rookie cop in the middle of wrestling with a moral dilemma when suddenly a wormhole opens up and spits out a time machine made from the carcass of an old, shot-up Suzuki Esteem, from which emerges a 60-something Jimmy McGill (having managed to reduce his prison sentence to a mere 20 years or so) babbling incoherently about a “Bad Choice Road” Young Mike is somehow convinced to join up with Old Jimmy as together they travel through time & space helping people to choose a better path in their lives, somewhat reminiscent of Quantum Leap. (Obviously, these are not serious proposals. I’m assuming None of the ideas here are really serious, as they’re all ridiculously unnecessary at best.

"Keeping up with the Salamancas" - a reality show-type minisodes with all the Salamanca family members just talking and interacting would be dope af

I think it would be good if they did a spin off which basically is all these ideas but they essentially have 1-3 episodes on each story And it would be like a 16 (give or take) episode show. I really would like to see what happens to Walt’s daughter, like it’s pretty obvious what happened to skyler and Walt jr, but holly? Does she know, if not how does she find out? She never met Walt properly and if she does remember him she would only have good memories because of how Walt acted around her

I had the pleasure of getting to see RJ Mitte at a panel several years ago, and he's such a cool dude! Hes advocating for the handicapped (in and out of Hollywood) in a big way and using his platform to make the world a better place. Legit! While I'd like to see what happened to Walt Jr., I think it might be the same story as the actor himself! Using what he has to help his community.

A Walter White spinoff would be cool.

I think a Walt Jr show where he actually follows in Hank's footsteps and gets into law enforcement somehow could be good. He ends up going up against an operation aping his father's, and over time coming to terms with, and possibly even understanding his father more. Not to say that he would necessarily forgive him, but just kind of accept his memory

i love how seriously he takes the memes💀

I’d love a short anthology series about some of the BCS/BB side characters with like 20-30 minute episodes. The ones that I’d like to see are Gale, Skinny Pete/Badger, the veterinarian, or anything involving the cartel right when Gus first gets involved. Nothing big, but just little snippets of their past or futures.

I want to unironically suggest at least a movie (but ideally a miniseries) about Walter Jr. coming to terms with his horrible upbringing and trying to be a good role model for Holly knowing that as she grows up those are hard to come by. Maybe he finds love but that’s a much less important factor for this idea to work. It could be interesting to see what happens to the family before and after Saul’s trial, and we could see how Gretchen and Elliot giving them Walt’s money is handled. I think there’s potential. The main problem I see with the idea is a distinct lack of action, it would be very character driven, but it could be neat. (Also if we ever got another prequel, I think a Nacho based tragedy would be a more interesting route than a Salamanca show because a Salamanca show gives us no one to root for)

Idk, i'd love to see a Mike show set in the 60s/70s where he's figuring it all out and becoming a badass.

I feel like a Jesse show would mainly be about him dealing with his PTSD and trying to live a stable life like you said, but I would also like to see an emotional scene where he meets his faimily again, more specifically his little brother. I generally feel like another Jesse show/movie would be very depressing due to his PTSD, depression, and his low mental stability.

I still think we need *one* more installment in the universe, specifically: what the fuck happened in Chile that gave Gus such deep-seated respect for Peter Schuler?

I feel like a spinoff about how gus built up los pollos hermanos would be a good spinoff with it starting with him in chile and building his restaurant chain, met max, and it explaining why he decided to go into the business with the cartel

I thought about a prequel with Nacho. By the time we get to know his character he’s in too deep and the ramifications of his choices are already in route to destroy him. But what about his past. How did HE of all people get in close with the Salamancas? And Tuco’s right hand man no less. What atrocities did he commit to earn their trust? What put him on the path in the first place seeing as his father was a good man that managed to instill some good in him? What was the initial fallout when he told his father? Where’s his mother? Did he join the underworld to help his family and got in too deep? These are questions worth exploring in my opinion

Salamanca wont work at all now.

Someone probably said the same when Better Call Saul was announced.

I find the Salamancas spinoff really interesting. Hector mentioned before having the stroke that a lot of Salamanca blood was spilled in order to build the drug empire. We know that Hector is the uncle of Tuco, the twins and Lalo, but we never hear anything about their parents. So this spinoff or at least one season of it should be devoted to hector and his siblings building the empire and ending with their death, probably in a fight with a rival group or family. We see Hector lose everyone and become the bitter old man that teaches his nephews that family is the most important thing.

Honestly, I think way down the road a Holly White spinoff could work. She grows up without a father, knowing the horrible criminal he was, but looks up to her Uncle Hank as a hero and aspires to be a DEA agent like him. She's a bit temperamental and can go rogue at times, which can be a character trait of hers seeing as she did grow up with a stable father figure and knew about all the horrible things her father did, and inherited some of Walter's ego as well. It can be kinda like The Shield, where Holly White is a Vic Mackey type of law enforcement officer that sometimes goes too far.

I thought what about Jesse starts a family in Alaska, then maybe his son starts getting involved with the wrong crowd and Jesse takes up an opposite role to Walter and similar to Hank. He's trying to clean up the community from the shadows without getting the police on his trail while doing it all so his son or daughter doesn't make the same mistakes he did. He is forced to come to terms with his own past, gets some perspective on Walters decisions and met with some of the same of the decisions Walter had to make, he chooses the better path for his family.

Me and my friends came up with a pretty good concept (At least, in my opinion) for a Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul spin-off show. The name we gave the concept was "Aftermath," and for good reason. Basically, you know how Better Call Saul touched on the effects of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul on side characters, like Francisca and Huell? Now, obviously, a show about Huell cannot work, as you pointed out, so, what can we do? Well, the idea is a single season, idk how many episodes, of Aftermath. Each episode focuses on a character or a group of characters post-Breaking Bad. So, one episode could be showing off what really happens to Kim after BCS, one could be a small redemption arc for Huell, one could be about Francesca struggling to make a living with the cops on her back, one could be a slice of life with Jesse in Alaska, maybe even featuring the main conflict as him trying to move on from the PTSD left over, one could be all about the White family trying to free themselves from the reputation Walt left for them, etc. You get the point. It'd basically be like an anthology series all set in the BB/BCS universe, dealing with the aftermath of everything on some characters who weren't really touched on, hence the name.

Maybe instead of an entire series about Gus Fring's past, they could just make a movie, like "Pollos Hermanos" a Better Call Saul Movie

great vid man hope to see you grow

I think with Holly they could do a decent or good show with her growing up wanting to find out more about her father so one day she asks Skyler about it and while she is drunk she reveals that her father was a drug dealer. Then Holly would go search for more so she would met an older skinny Pete and Badger for answers. They get some leads and they mention that Jesse was the only one alive who was with Walter all along and that the only thing left from him in Alberquerque was the letter for Brock. She finds Brock and they decide to get answers so they go in search of Jesse Pinkman. When they find him he starts telling them both what happened and at the end Brock can get revenge for his mother or simply let go of Pinkman and forgive him for everything. They would both leave Jesse. This would be kinda boring but it would be the best ending.

A sequel show about badger and Skinny Pete getting in over their heads in the crime world could work. Possibly there was a clue as to where Todd's uncle Jack hid the 80 mil in the El Camino Jesse left. Perhaps it could have a more comedic bend.

So the general consensus is that most of these shows wouldn’t really have enough to work with and turn into a full show? then maybe an anthology would work which would show us more insight into different characters backgrounds to really flesh out their characters and give people what they want without making an unfulfilling show on one character who’s arc is pretty much done

Maybe a show about Walt Jr starting a breakfast restaurant chain would work(this is not a joke)(it can be any type of business). With that $1 Million, Jr is basically set for life and he can potentially start a successful chain. The series can also focus on the struggles of possible PTSD sustained by Jr and his family, how that impacts his business and possible future family. Also, some characters from Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul can appear and play a role in the show and be crucial to the plot. edit: yes im aware im retarded

You got my sub bro, nice video

I'm thinking do Gus's entire life story. Gotta admit, his backstory is pretty insane and has TONS of loopholes. The character in general has a ton of loopholes. All we know is he's evil, he's a genius, and built an empire over 20 years to exact revenge. And also, Walt was the only person on earth able to kill him.

I like to think Jesse has a cottage close to the mountains, and trees. He has his own workshop, he has a little business, but it’s more helping the community, he’s not popular. Just a random guy crafting wood.

Wonder if they could make a short show about an “obsessed fan” with the Heisenberg case. Someone who’s making a “documentary” for himself and trying to find each one (Jesse, saul, mike, etc) after the whole incident to interview. With it, it can end in the “obsessed fan” being able to possibly gather information on the location of bodies like Howard, etc. Possibly bringing closure to the families and to us viewers.

I want a Badger and Skinny Pete show that's just them talking about zombie video games and Star Trek for 5 seasons.

Honestly I think you’re underestimating a kim show, it could take place RIGHTTTTT after she breaks up with jimmy, it could explore her new life in Florida and exactly how dull it is And maybe the last season could be post-saul gone or something

I just want so bad a Gus Series, explaining what happened in Chile (we can use the actor of The Boys of young Giancarlo, is so perfect for the role of young Gus)

honestly they should make a show and each season is just all these ideas , it would be cool to have a different protaganist each season

If there were a holly I would imagine her trying to find out who Walter was (sorta assuming that jr and skyler don’t mention or talk about him) where she goes back to albaqurcie to find he was a meth cook but ends up looking for his associates for more info and we get cameos from Saul Jesse skinny Pete badger huel and others

The fanmade posters for these are hilarious

I think this cinematic universe still has a lot to give us. Even when thinking about better call saul I thought he wasn't interesting enough, but they were able to turn it into an epic even greater than the original. What you seem to be missing is that these stories would never be standalones. In BCS they put together Saul's backstory, Gus' backstory, and Mike's in a way that made it as great as it is. In the same way If a Walt jr show had him a few years later in his late 20s moving to alaska for work and interacting with Jesse, as they slowly befriend each other and some inciting incident ends up with Walt figuring it out. At the same time we could have some associate of the Nazis that found a lead on Jesse and is coming for him. Something like this definitely has the potential to be just as good or at least capture the feeling of the first shows. A spinoff that sees us exploring Gus's very early years, as well as Hector, Bolsa, and Eladio starting the business and young salamancas like Lalo as kids, seeing triggering events that led to what they are. A young Hank could also lose a mentor while pursuing the cartel, never finding out exactly who did it, but making him hate latinos, as well as reinforcing the way in which everyone was so happy in breaking bad when the twins died. These are the first 2 ideas for shows that came out of my mind and they can surely be great if Vince Gilligan and his team are ever willing to work on the franchise again.

I personally think they should do a series with like one episode from each of the ideas and maybe if they were good could get another episode or it’s own show

My thoughts for the Jesse in alaska would be that Jesse attempts to reset his life by finding a temporary job willing to pay him under the table, and collecting the money he needs to set up life as an Alaskan Bushman. He would then run into other people helped by Ed Galbraith, many of them talking about the people they used to be before fleeing. The show could have some potential, including creating new characters and forging new relationships.

I feel like the holly movie could be really good if the story is when she is a adult she tries to find out what happened to her dad and revisiting old characters such as badger or even visiting walter’s cabin in Alaska

Not really the same thing, but I’d love to see a GTA-style BB/BCS game. I think I remember Vince even saying he’d be interested in something like that. But it’ll never happen

Honestly, I would love to see a series of very short vignette specials of minor characters Walt, Saul, and Jesse knew reacting to the national news about their criminal empire. The film kids working in Hollywood as PAs and seeing their old lawyer buddy as the criminal accomplice of the country's biggest meth kingpin. The air force captain, now a commander, seeing 'the wheel finally turn' on Jimmy. Walt's students in college seeing goofy Mr. White as an infamous criminal legend. That kind of thing; it'd be interesting to see their reactions.

I wouldn't hate the idea of a short miniseries with one episode dedicated to different characters. Maybe an episode showing what Skyler, Flynn, Holly, and Marie are up to maybe 5 years after Felina, an episode of how Mike's family fares after everything, one for Kim, one for Jesse's family, maybe one for Brock, and maybe one for Jesse.

"I don't know if anyone considered this one serious" bro they are all just memes💀💀💀💀💀

I think showing Holly rebelling against her family by selling drugs at school and getting sucked in like her dad would be interesting for a movie but a full show would probably be too much.

i think shorts for each of these would be cool

I chatted about this with a couple friends of mine and we all got on board with this idea of a "sequel" to the BB verse done in the style of a true crime documentary series that also functions as a satire of the IRL obsession with true crime. I would be so down for that.

Prequels for the BB universe is getting increasingly harder to achieve because most of these actors are between 60-85. Hector is 83 in the real world Tuco is 61 Don Eladio is 65 Walt is 66 Mike is 75 Saul is 60 Gus is 64 Perhaps they should just make a comedy with them all in a retirement home and call the show Breaking Bingo. lol

I’ve heard ideas of a salamanca movie about the cousins pulling hits in Mexico but honestly I just wanna see all the salamancas interact with eachother

My dumb idea for a spinoff is to do all those ideas, at ONCE. So even if none of these ideas is worth a whole show, I think they can be worth one or a few episodes each. It would basically just show off the premises and tell a story within them, like how Jesse is dealing with his new life to seeing how Flynn and Holly are affected by the drug money, show the Salamancas jus5 vibing and whatever they would do with people like Huell. The benefit this has over any of the individual ideas is that the writers won’t have to scrap the barrels empty just to fill a season. Downside is that the production would either end up weirdly samey in relation to how different every part should be, or the production would be chaotic due to each part needing different production for different moods.

I think it would be kinda cool to have an anthology series about the backstories of some of the one off characters or supporting characters. It would be one season with about one or two episodes devoted to a character each

I just finished Breaking Bad today (loved it) and i knew about Better Call Saul, but when I saw the thumbnail I thought all of those were real things lmfao the disappointment when reality hit 😭

If they were to continue this universe in any way I’d only want it to be through a movie or some short films, similar to Marvel’s new “special presentations”. Give us a 40-60 minute short film about Flynn, Skyler, Marie and Holly a decade on, even just to show them rebuilt and reassure us that in the end they’ll be okay - or perhaps a more dramatic tale, I’ve always wondered what would happen if Flynn or Skyler found out where Gretchen and Elliot’s donation came from... There’s plenty of other stories and characters than can be explored in a short form piece, what happened to Kim could be a 20 minute ambiguous but hopefully look at her getting her life on track, a 10 minute short about Stacey and Kaylee after Mike’s death even, perhaps a quick half hour look into one of the legendary Salamanca hits. None of these are really necessary, if I had to pick on it would be a 45 minute exploration of the White family 10-15 years on reconciling the legacy of Heisenberg and their push to move forward and become a family again. If they were to expand in this way though, I just hope they wouldn’t touch Jesse or Gus as their stories are done
