　　Now Playing: Comic-Con 2018: More Breaking Bad Characters Will Appear On Better Call Saul - GameSpot Universe News Update

　　This ultimately means that Better Call Saul will be one episode longer than Breaking Bad was, although Breaking Bad also got a movie.

　　The show's fifth season will also bring back some iconic characters from the original series that we have not seen in some time. Showrunner Vince Gilligan revealed during the panel that Hank Schrader (played by Dean Norris) and his partner Steven Gomez (Steven Michael Quezada) would return in episodes three and four of this season. "Working with Dean and Michael again was a highlight of the season," Gilligan said.

　　It was also confirmed that Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston will not appear in this season, so don't expect to see Jesse or Walt. He also says that the end of Better Call Saul will probably be the end of the entire saga he's been telling across both series, at least for a while. Asked if it was likely to continue on in some form, he responded, "you don't want to drive it into the ground, so I would say at this moment in time, probably not."

　　Jimmy McGill/Saul Goodman will be missed once it's all over.
