In interviews marking a prior anniversary of the conclusion, Odenkirk addressed the potential of reprising his role as Jimmy McGill under permanent narrative constraints.

"He's not getting out," said Odenkirk.

The legal drama traced the complete transformation of Jimmy McGill into criminal defense attorney Saul Goodman before he accepted an 86-year prison sentence.

Creators Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould have indicated the fictional universe is complete, with no further spin-offs commissioned by AMC.
