‘Better Call Saul’ season 2: Co-creator teases more ‘Breaking Bad’ references

The second season of “Better Call Saul” is less than a single week away from premiering on AMC, and there is a lot that you have to look forward to. What’s important to remember? That we are closer to getting to the “Breaking Bad” timeline of Jimmy McGill being Saul Goodman … and as a result of that, there is going to be a whole lot more in the way of crossover between the two worlds.

In previewing some of the storylines ahead in a chat with Entertainment Weekly, co-creator Peter Gould passed along the following message:

“You’ll see there are some overlaps with these two worlds. This is a prequel and it takes place in the same city. People who paid close attention to Breaking Bad will be very happy right from the first episode of the season. We were so pleased last season that the show was able to stand on its own, but what we’re finding is as we go forward, there are just organically some places where these two shows overlap. You may see ideas and even characters that you’ve seen before. … I would say there’s maybe a little bit more than last season. But you really have to keep your eyes peeled.”

In other words, you probably want to watch this live and then record it, just in case there are a few little things here and there you end up missing. In the midst of all the frenzied excitement to watch the show, it’s pretty easy to pass up a few Easter eggs here and there.
