The casts of Breaking Bad and its spin-off Better Call Saul united at the annual Comic-Con festival in San Diego ahead of what producers teased as a screen crossover for some characters later this year.
Stars Bryan Cranston, who played teacher turned drug kingpin Walter White in the Emmy-winning Breaking Bad, on Thursday joined co-star Aaron Paul and Bob Odenkirk, who plays conman Jimmy McGill in the Better Call Saul prequel to mark the 10th anniversary of the series that ended in 2013.
Vince Gilligan, the creator of both TV series, said the two shows would begin to come together in the fourth season of Better Call Saul, which arrives on August 7 on streaming service Stan.
"You have two shows for the price of one with Better Call Saul. It's its own show, it stands on its own two legs wonderfully, just by itself," Gilligan told Reuters Television.
"But more and more in season four, the Breaking Bad world is coming into the Better Call Saul world ... It's overlapping."
Gilligan did not say which characters from Breaking Bad would be featured in any upcoming crossover episodes.
