Based on one of last week’s filming locations it looks like we might be seeing another familiar face on AMC’s Breaking Bad prequel, Better Call Saul.
The series follows the antics of lawyer Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) before he meets Walter White. It has already been confirmed Jonathan Banks will reprise his role as Mike Ehrmantraut, and now we’re wondering if Aaron Paul will be back as Jesse Pinkman as well.
According to Paul, he has had “serious talks” with Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan about reprising the role.
“Anything Vince is involved with, I’m there, […] I owe him my entire career. And the idea of jumping into the skin of Jesse Pinkman again in his lighter days — because it’s all a prequel — it would be fun.”
Now we have evidence to suggest those talks have turned into a new gig. One of our readers was in Albuquerque, NM last Monday (9/8) and spotted crews for Better Call Saul shooting a scene at 322 16th Street S.W., aka Jesse Pinkman’s house.
If you remember, when we first meet Jesse in Breaking Bad season one he is living in the house with his Aunt Ginny so it does make sense that he would be living there in Saul’s pre-Walter White world, too.
Do you think Aaron Paul will appear in the new series? Have you spotted Better Call Saul filming in Albuquerque? Let us know about in the comments below!

Aaron Paul has been in Cape Town, South Africa filming Gavin Hood’s new movie, Eye in the Sky. His instagram is filled with pics while there. As much as I would love to see Jesse in Better Call Saul, I don’t think he was in New Mexico. The locals would have blown up Twitter as soon as he touched down.
Even if he wasn’t in that scene (it did seem like if nothing else he would have been sharing the news if he were back in Albuquerque) seems like a good bet he will be showing up at some point if they were shooting at Jesse’s house..can’t wait to see the show!
yeah, I think these were taken on the 8th and it looks like he got to Africa on the the 3rd, wonder if they’ll feature his parents or aunt…lots of possibilities I guess. 🙂
