BEVERLY HILLS - At least someone may still be alive when AMCs Breaking Bad finishes up its final eight episodes.
Creator Vince Gilligan told TV critics here Friday that hed love to do a spinoff with lawyer Saul Goodman, played by Bob Odenkirk.
Gilligan has floated that idea before, and he stressed yesterday that it hasnt yet been brought up to AMC.
Odenkirk, who started as a peripheral character, but carved an important role and often served as unintentional comic relief, said, Id do it in a second. If Vince wrote it, it would be awesome.
Aaron Paul (Jesse Pinkman) and Bryan Cranston (Walter White) are back for the final season of "Breaking Bad."
Speculation has been building about what will happen to Bryan Cranstons Walter White, Aaron Pauls Jesse Pinkman, Anna Gunns Skyler White and the other characters caught in the backwash of Walts drug dealing.
No one leaked any spoilers Friday about the ending, but Gilligan said, Im very proud of it. I cant wait for people to see it.
Cranston said he and Gilligan never discussed the endgame and that he preferred not to know as the show went along. I took it one script at a time.
Whether or not Saul gets his spinoff, Breaking Bad fans will have at least one souvenir. Gilligan said a two-hour documentary on the show, with footage back to the beginning, will be released on DVD.
The final season of the Emmy-winning series about a high-school chemistry teacher turned drug lord debuts on Aug. 11.
