Across six seasons, viewers have watched as slippery but well-intentioned lawyer Jimmy McGill slowly transforms into the morally bankrupt Saul Goodman we know from Breaking Bad, with all sorts of dramatic moments and brilliant cameos<\/a> along the way.<\/p>\n But it had to come to an end eventually, and after a perfectly pitched finale, the show has now wrapped up for good.<\/p>\n So, why won\u2019t Better Call Saul be continuing for a seventh season? And are we likely to see any further spin-offs in the future? Read on for everything you need to know.<\/p> The answer as to why the series won\u2019t be continuing beyond its recently concluded sixth run is fairly straightforward \u2013 the prequel has already caught up to the events of Breaking Bad, with Jimmy\u2019s transformation into Saul now complete.<\/p>\n In fact, not only have the timelines of the two shows now merged, the final season of Better Call Saul also included a lengthy section exploring what happened to Jimmy\/Saul after <\/em>the events of Breaking Bad.<\/p>\n A few scenes showing him living as Gene Takovic, a Cinnabon manager in Omaha, Nebraska, had previously been teased at the start of each season, but the final run goes into far more detail about what happened to him.<\/p>\n Specifically, Jimmy\u2019s story comes to a natural conclusion when he is finally apprehended by the authorities \u2013 and an unexpected reunion with Kim forces him to have a rare moment of introspection and confess to his various wrongdoings.<\/p>\n Any future seasons therefore wouldn\u2019t really have anywhere to go \u2013 Jimmy is likely to be in prison for the foreseeable future and there is no more story to tell from before the days of Breaking Bad.<\/p>\n Although Better Call Saul might have come to an end, this might not be the last we see of the world that Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould have created.<\/p>\n In June of this year, Dan McDermott, the president of entertainment and AMC Studios at AMC Networks, explained that \u201cthe door is always open\u201d for further spin-offs somewhere down the line.<\/p>\n \u201cI can tell you that if I could do anything to encourage Vince and Peter to continue on in this universe, I would do it,\u201d he said during an interview with\u00a0Variety.<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cI think you\u2019d have to ask them, but the door is always open and I long for the day my phone rings and Vince, Peter or our friends at Sony call to say, \u2018Hey, I think we have another show set in this universe.’\u201d<\/p>\n That all certainly sounds optimistic, but before we get too excited we should probably bear in mind some more recent quotes from Gilligan himself.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The showrunner has explained that while there are still numerous avenues that could be explored in future series, for now his focus is on creating something away from the Breaking Bad universe \u2013 claiming he doesn\u2019t want there to be too much of a good thing.<\/p>\n \u201cI can definitely imagine revisiting it,\u201d he told\u00a0Rolling Stone<\/a> magazine. \u201cSelfishly, I\u2019d like to do so, to keep this thing going.<\/p>\n \u201cBut without naming any names, I look around at some of the worlds, the universes, the stories that I love, whether they\u2019re on TV or in the movies. And I think there\u2019s a certain point, and it\u2019s hard to define, where you\u2019ve done too much in the same universe.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd some universes are much bigger and more elastic. Ours is a very small one, Albuquerque, New Mexico, versus some of these worlds and series of movies and TV shows.\u201d<\/p>\n He added: \u201cYes, I could do more with this universe, and maybe someday I will, especially if I fail at everything that comes next. Then I\u2019ll come crawling back.<\/p>\n \u201cBut right now, whether there\u2019s more room to grow or not \u2014 and there probably is \u2014 I feel like it\u2019s time to do something new.\u201d<\/p>\n The best way of looking at it, then, is that there\u2019s still very much a possibility of further stories in this world \u2013 but it will likely be some time before we can dig back into the seedy Albuquerque criminal underworld once more.<\/p>\n All episodes of Better Call Saul are available on\u00a0Netflix<\/a>\u00a0in the UK and vi<\/strong>a AMC in the US.\u00a0<\/strong>Check out the\u00a0best\u00a0<\/a><\/strong>Netflix series<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/strong>best Netflix movies<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0to keep you entertained, or visit our\u00a0<\/strong>TV guide<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0for more to watch.<\/strong><\/p>\n The latest issue of Radio Times magazine is on sale now \u2013\u00a0subscribe now<\/a>\u00a0and get the next 12 issues for only \u00a31.
