AMC and Sony TV are said to be exploring the idea of a “Breaking Bad” spinoff series centered on one of the show’s most recognizable supporting characters – Bob Odenkirk’s shady lawyer Saul Goodman.
The project is being conceived by creator Vince Gilligan and series writer-producer Peter Gould, the latter created the character.
Saul has essentially served as the comic relief in what is otherwise a dark drama series, whereas the new series would likely be a straight up comedy.
The final eight-episode run of “Breaking Bad” commences in July.
