It's the end of the road for Better Call Saul, as the Breaking Bad spinoff series comes to a close after six seasons. The prequel series first hit the scene on AMC in 2015, going back several years in the Breaking Bad world to show how attorney Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk) ultimately transforms into the slimy lawyer known as Saul Goodman. To help tell that story, many new actors were brought in to play original characters not in the parent show, and that notably includes Patrick Fabian as Howard Hamlin and Rhea Seehorn as Kim Wexler.The eight-year journey coming to an end has Fabian thinking back to when their series first began almost a decade ago. Taking to Twitter, the actor shared the first photograph ever taken of himself alongside Odenkirk and Seehorn from the first season's production back in 2014. Fabian refers to the trio as "babies," noting how much younger they looked at the time. You can check out the post below.
Fabian wasn't the only one from the Better Call Saul team to share a throwback image. Writer-director Thomas Schnauz posted an image from the very first day of shooting and wrote, "Better Call Saul finale tonight! Can't believe it's all over. Here's pic (Jenn) Carroll took on 1st day of filming on S1, before any of us knew what the hell the show was, but thru Peter Gould's amazing guidance, it turned into something very special. Peter brings it home!"

There aren't plans at this time for the Breaking Bad universe to be further expanded with any more spinoff shows, meaning the series finale of Better Call Saul puts a cap on the franchise that started with the premiere of Breaking Bad in 2008. Creators Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould are both already pursuing separate projects that have no connections to Breaking Bad, and there's a good chance this will be the last fans will see of this world.
With that said, the creators have not completely written off the idea of doing another series or movie set in the Breaking Bad universe, even if they don't see it happening anytime soon. Gilligan recently explained that he doesn't want to push his luck by doing more Breaking Bad than what fans really want.
“You can’t keep putting all your money on red 21," Gilligan said. "I feel like we probably pushed it doing a spinoff to Breaking Bad [but] I could not be more happy with the results. Then I did El Camino and I’m very proud of that too. But I think I’m starting to sense you’ve got to know when to leave the party, you don’t want to be the guy with a lampshade on your head. I don’t have any plans right now to do anything more in this universe. I know I probably gave the same answer at the end of Breaking Bad. I gotta prove to myself that I got something else in me. I’m not a one trick pony, that’s what I’m hoping."
Peter Gould kept the hope alive by adding, "Never say never, who knows how we’re going to feel in a couple of years.”
