Ever since it was revealed that Breaking Bad stars Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul would be reprising their roles as Walter White and Jesse Pinkman in the final season of Better Call Saul, fans have been busy speculating just how they’ll fit into the hit prequel series.

And by the sounds of it, the nature of their appearances is almost as much of a mystery to the actors themselves as it is to fans, with Cranston revealing that he doesn’t even know which episode the pair are going to appear in.

Speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com for an upcoming Big RT Interview to promote his new film Jerry and Marge Go Large, Cranston explained the incredibly secretive process he and Paul had to go through when they were filming their scenes.

“It was [surreal],” he said. “Aaron Paul and I, we had to coordinate our schedules to make sure we were available when they were in production. So a year ago, April, is when we shot it. And because it was a separate section of us shooting the scene, I don’t know what actual episode it’s in. Because it wasn’t done in order.”

He added: “We were flown into New Mexico secretly and they created this shroud of privacy – we were sent right away to an Airbnb house that we were not allowed to leave. There was all this stuff going on, it was exciting! But also a secret and we kept it secret for a year.

“And then when Better Call Saul premiered they announced it, and Aaron and I said ‘Oh, well, I guess we can talk about it now!’”
