"El Camino": With "Better Call Saul" Ready to Return, A Look Behind the Scenes of Netflix/AMC "Breaking Bad" Finale Film [VIDEO]
With Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould's Better Call Saul ready to return for its penultimate season (starting with a two-night premiere event on Sunday, February 23, and Monday, February 24) and AMC's cable premiere of El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie still on the air and on demand, the Breaking Bad universe is as popular now as it's ever been.
So to mark both occasions, the cable network released two behind-the-scenes looks into the sequel movie/series finale (we still think you could break El Camino up into two episodes and they would blend in perfectly with the original series). In the first clip, the cast discuss what it was like returning to characters they hadn't played in quite some time. Following that, Gilligan and others discuss what went into making the film a reality – and the layers of security they had in place to avoid spoilers:
