Two ‘Breaking Bad' Stars Reprise Their Roles in a New Video Celebrating America 250

Breaking Bad ended back in 2013, but there have been iconic spinoffs like El Camino and Better Call Saul that have been keeping the franchise alive. Better Call Saul, which followed Saul Goodman, ended in 2022, so it's been a few years since Bob Odenkirk has portrayed the legendary lawyer.

Now, he's back in a short video meant to celebrate America 250. And he's not the only character from the show who is reprising their role. Jonathan Banks, who played Mike Ehrmantraut in both shows, was also involved in this small project.

The video, which was uploaded by the channel Saul4Democracy, shows Odenkirk seated at his familiar desk in a bright orange suit. "Hi, I'm Saul Goodman," he starts by saying. "Did you know you have rights? Well, you do. Sure, they're old-timey. They were written by a bunch of guys in powdered wigs and knee socks. Boring, but believe it or not, they're still surprisingly relevant."

He continued, "Your rights include, but are not limited to, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of the press, freedom against unreasonable searches and seizures, et cetera, et cetera. Wow, you lucky so-and-so. Look at you, you got rights coming out the wazoo, all because a whole bunch of good people, 250 years' worth, sacrificed everything they had for this awesome wallpaper behind me."

He, of course, was referring to the wallpaper of the U.S. Constitution, which is present in his office in both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.

At the end of the video, Banks pops up to add, "I'm Mike, and I approve this message."

The video was posted to social media by the co-creator of Better Call Saul, Peter Gould. Gould also confirmed that the video was not made using AI after a few fans questioned whether the footage was authentic. However, it has not been revealed when exactly this was filmed or whether there will be any more content in the future.

As one fan on YouTube said, "This makes me so curious about what this could lead to, if anything, because the original people who made the show were done with this universe." Another said, "Looking for hidden details now..."

However, most fans were simply excited that they had the chance to see some of their favorite characters back on their screens one more time.
