Breaking Bad's Aaron Paul Was Initially Jealous Of Better Call Saul
Breaking Bad star Aaron Paul reveals he was initially jealous of Better Call Saul when season 1 was made due to the family bonds between its cast. Paul starred in Vince Gilligan's original crime drama as Jesse Pinkman, a crystal meth cook and dealer who is enlisted by his former high school chemistry teacher Walter White to form a major drug operation in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Paul's character was originally only set to be killed after the events of season 1, but with his performance receiving rave reviews from both Gilligan and critics, he would be kept for the entirety of the series and Paul would net three Primetime Emmy wins for his work.
Gilligan would reunite with Breaking Bad vet Peter Gould to create Better Call Saul, a prequel series revolving around Bob Odenkirk's titular character exploring his origins as a former scam artist trying to become an honest lawyer, only to slowly make his way back to a life of crime. Though yet to win any of its nominations, Better Call Saul has been critically acclaimed across its six seasons and earned 40 Emmy and four Golden Globe nods. As the Breaking Bad prequel enters its final chapter, fans can look forward to seeing more familiar faces return to the fold.
