He said: “I can tell you that if I could do anything to encourage Vince and Peter to continue on in this universe, I would do it,” “I think you’d 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, ‘Hey, I think we have another show set in this universe.'”

Expanding The Breaking Bad Universe
In a previous interview with Deadline, creator Peter Gould had this to say about the show: “I love these characters, I love this world. Maybe someday, but personally I’m going to take a little break from that world and try something else, just to prove that I can.” Gilligan added, “I think that’s my answer too. There are stories left to tell, but it’s not proving something to the world, it’s about proving something to yourself. That thing I’m working on, hopefully, someone will want to buy it, someone will want to make it.”
The two shows in the Breaking Bad universe have 12 seasons between them. It has received critical acclaim and fan appreciation apart from several awards and nominations. But would there be a third show? Time would tell.
Better Call Saul is available on AMC and AMC+
