Better Call Saul is a crime drama series and a prequel/spin-off of AMC’s immensely popular Breaking Bad.

The cast also includes Patrick Fabian, Michael Mando, and Tony Dalton.

Seehorn, who plays Saul’s lawyer colleague Kim Wexler, didn’t reveal much about the upcoming season or the fate of the character. However, she did confirm that Odenkirk, who suffered a heart attack in July of this year was recovering successfully. In the interview, Seehorn praised the upcoming season describing it as “insane” and “going to blow people’s minds."
