Bob Odenkirk Confirms Fans Have Guessed Better Call Saul's Ending
Bob Odenkirk says "about one out of every nine people" on the internet have correctly guessed the ending to Better Call Saul season 6. After numerous delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic and Odenkirk's near-fatal heart attack, the beloved Breaking Bad prequel finally returned to AMC this past April for its sixth and final season. Premiered in 2015, Better Call Saul primarily follows Odenkirk's Jimmy McGill as he devolves from an earnest public defender to the unscrupulous criminal lawyer audiences meet in Breaking Bad season 2.
Better Call Saul season 6 has spelled the end for many of its beloved new characters, including Nacho Varga (Michael Mando), Howard Hamlin (Patrick Fabian), and Lalo Salamanca (Tony Dalton). Episode 9, «Fun and Games» also signaled the death of Jimmy McGill as fans knew him. Racked by the guilt of their role in Howard's death, Kim Wexler (Rhea Seehorn) finally decides to leave her husband, breaking Jimmy's heart and spurring his transformation into Saul Goodman. Season 6 has now fully moved on to its black-and-white Gene Takovic timeline with occasional flashbacks to the Breaking Bad era featuring appearances from Walter White (Bryan Cranston) and Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul). With so much left to be resolved, Better Call Saul's dedicated online fanbase has been fervently speculating about how the show will end.
