Saul Goodman and Kim Wexler won’t fare well in Better Call Saul Season 6, Giancarlo Esposito has suggested in an interview with Newsweek.
Teasing what’s to come in the final episodes of the Breaking Bad spin-off, the Gus Fring star shared that things aren’t “going to be good” for Bob Odenkirk and Rhea Seehorn’s characters.
“Fans can expect to see a very, very different Gus this season… firstly I think we start off right where we left off after Season 5, in a moment that Gus’ plans seems to not be going very well,” Esposito told Newsweek of his character, who first appeared in Breaking Bad.
“And so, for me, I think you see a Gus who is certainly as calculated as always, and certainly gives the impression that he’s ahead of everyone, but a bit frustrated with Lalo Salamanca [Tony Dalton], and with the relationship he has with Mike [Ehrmantraut, played by Jonathan Banks], who is taking orders, but not really.
“Who is allowing a lot of personal feelings to come in to sway him and he tries to sway Gus into making certain decisions that Gus is not going to want to make.
“The hole gets dug deeper and deeper and deeper, as we move into the episodes beyond one and two… that I think our fans can expect to be really titillated, on the edges of their seat, in regards to what will happen.”
Going on to tease how Gus’ plans and other aspects of the final season will impact couple Saul and Kim, Esposito added: “There’s some real danger flash points here that really tie into the world of Saul Goodman.
“S’all good man, but it’s not gonna be all good for Saul Goodman soon, and it’s not going to be good for Kim Wexler either, his partner in crime.
“So you’re going to be really surprised by what happens in the decisions they have to make in their lives, as well and how it connects to Gustavo Fring.”
