Better Call Saul might be renewed through Season 2, but Bob Odenkirk thought it would take at least three seasons for the spinoff to gain acceptance in the wake of Breaking Bad, per Yahoo:
You, Vince Gilligan, Saul character creator and Better Call Saul showrunner Peter Gould have all expressed so much surprise that viewers embraced Better Call Saul as quickly and enthusiastically as they did. But you all had so much good will and trust banked after Breaking Bad. Was there really that much concern on your part that viewers might not like the new show?
Absolutely. Totally. I was totally prepared to get my ass kicked. I actually thought, and I didn’t just think, I told people, “You know, if we do a really, really good job, and we do a show with integrity, and all our best intentions and our best efforts, then we’ll probably still get our assed kicked for one or two years. And then, after two or three years of being on the air, if we can manage it, if we can stay on the air, then maybe people will give us a reconsideration, and that’s where we’ll win them over.” That’s how I thought it would go.
Will the Cancellation Reaper make certain Better Call Saul goes NO FURTHER than two seasons? Watch this space…
