Patrick Fabian, Rhea Seehorn & Michael Mando Cast In ‘Breaking Bad’ Prequel Series ‘Better Call Saul’
By NELLIE ANDREEVA

EXCLUSIVE: Patrick Fabian (The Last Exorcism), Rhea Seehorn (Franklin & Bash) and Michael Mando (Orphan Black) have joined the cast of AMC’s upcoming series Better Call Saul, joining Breaking Bad alums Bob Odenkirk and Jonathan Banks and fellow new cast member Michael McKean. The prequel to the Emmy-winning Breaking Bad, from Sony TV, centers on Odenkirk‘s unflappable criminal lawyer Saul Goodman before he became Walter White’s lawyer. Banks reprises his role as Saul’s trusted private investigator/fixer Michael “Mike” Ehrmantraut. Details on the new Better Call Saul characters are sketchy and the network and studios are not commenting, but I hear Fabian, repped by The Kohner Agency and Don Spradlin, will play Burt, a Kennedy-type lawyer; Seehorn will play an attorney named Beth; and Mando will play Spanish-speaking career criminal Eddie.

By NELLIE ANDREEVA

EXCLUSIVE: Breaking Bad executive producer/director Michelle MacLaren has signed a two-year first-look deal with HBO. The pay cable network has had its eye on MacLaren for a while — she has become one of the go-to directors for HBO’s flagship drama Game Of Thrones, directing four episodes over the past two seasons. She is now directing an episode of HBO’s new drama series, The Leftovers.

MacLaren shared in the best drama Emmy AMC’s Vince Gilligan-created Breaking Bad won last year, and has earned two directing Emmy nominations. She also is involved in the Breaking Bad prequel series, Better Call Saul. MacLaren, repped by ICM Partners and attorney Mitch Smelkinson, first worked with Gilligan on Harsh Realm and The X-Files, on both of which she served as a co-executive producer, making her directorial debut on X-Files.

to her being involved with this and to her HBO deal.

[Maximus One]

Damn it! You beat me!

 

[Kane52630]

I still say this would work better as a post-BrBa instead of a prequel.

 

[Sawyer]

Eh. I don't really see a whole lot of story there considering how things ended for Saul on BrBa.

 

[Kane52630]

new beginnings? new name? lots of possibilities especially they are wanting it to be more comedic.

 

[Sawyer]

No, I'm talking about the fact that Walt clearly slipped the extractor some money to kill Saul before he left.

 

[flickchick85]

I like the prequel notion because it keeps the door open for any character who was ever on BB to appear in some capacity, even if they died at some point during the show. And I'm actually interested in seeing how Saul made a lot of the contacts/relationships he had when we first met him, and frankly, I'm more interested in spending time with the Saul we knew before he was destroyed by Walter White, lol.

 

[Slick]

I hope Dave Porter is back doing the music

 

[TheNextNolan22]

The show will take place before, during, and after Breaking Bad.

That's a lot better. I'm officially in.

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

Say whaaaaaaaaaaat?

 

[Prison Mike]

yeah *****!

Oh hai Sawyer.

 

[slimshady247]

That's awesome.

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

I hope Saul gets a happier ending than we thought he would get. He's like the only character in the show who didn't lie.

 

[Sawyer]

Oh hai Sawyer.

Conveniently overlooking the fact that you were just as wrong as I was...

I still say this would work better as a post-BrBa instead of a prequel.

 

[Kane52630]

Meh, I got something better than I wanted.

 

[DJ_KiDDvIcIOUs]

I'm looking forward to it. Bob is great at anything he touches comedy related

 

[Soapy]

The show will take place before, during, and after Breaking Bad.

Huh. That's really interesting.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Whoa... now that is an even better idea.

 

[Darkness Falls]
