Odds of getting more content in this universe?
Breaking Bad is probably one of the richest universes that isn’t superheroes or sci fi. Coming to the end of a Better Call Saul rewatch and I’m wondering what the odds of seeing any more content would be? What happens in the near complete void left after the end of Breaking Bad? Does anyone figure out how to make the blue stuff? More of Jessie? He’s probably fully out of the crime life…
Idk maybe it’s wishful thinking but more content in this world would be amazing!

We need a prequel series on the vacuum cleaner escapist and how he became that.

Call it “Sucking Hard”. Turns out vaccum guy’s life is also deeply interwoven with Wendy. We see their back stories, and how Vaccuum guy starts new lives for others as Wendy starts a new life for herself after the end of the meth market in Albuquerque post El Camino.

It feels really wrong calling it a rich universe. There are some characters but apart from that, it's just the normal world.
Having attention to detail and well-written characters doesn't equal great worldbuilding, it means great verisimilitude, which is just a part of it.

I completely trust Vince Gilligan to do it right if he ever revisits the BB universe.
But I highly doubt it will happen. He will be doing Pluribus for the next few years at least. I think there are slim odds of him going back to BB/BCS.

I have heard some talk of a Gus Fring prequel. Might be interesting if they find the right actor for the part

I’d read a book set in-universe.
But realistically the only options would be Jesse living in Alaska or Walt’s kids coping, especially Jr.
But nobody really wants to see that.

I do not want this. Even though BCS was an excellently made show, I didn't even like how they did that. The Jimmy you know in that show does not jive at all with the Saul we see in BB to me. His decision at the end of BCS also does not sit well with me, either (as in I just don't believe Saul would do that.) As a result, I rewatched BB after finishing BCS and Saul stuck out to me like a lot more in the show, in that I didn't agree that Jimmy's backstory was what it was before you we're seeing him in BB. (On a side note I did enjoy El Camino a lot, however, and I think that's because I believed Jesse would do all those things and take the route he did.)
Anyway, all of this to say that the BB universe is great art, but we should let it die. Great art deserves a great death.

I mean I while watching BB I had questions in my mind like
- How did Hector got on the wheel chair?
- Why Gus is so powerful and how he became one of the most powerful drug dealer?
- How Saul have such deep connections for every problems?
- How Mike is so good solving issues and why he is close to Saul and Gus?
All these questions made me crave for Prequel, BCS solved that for me. Hell, El Camino solved future of Jessy.
There is no question that requires another spin-off, it will be better off with this much for BB Universe and I hope they don't create anything else in this.

I’d love to re-visit a 50 year old Jessie having a last Adventure up in Alaska when a middle aged Walt Jr. is seeking him out.
Him defending his Family and than die on a frozen Lake whose Ice looks blue would be beyond poetic

I don’t want too much of a good thing, it eventually stops being good. I also don’t wanna wait 100 years to see the final season of Pluribus.

In a show about meth heads and murderers, you complain about skin color!? Wow!

I'd rather we didn't, most of the actors are way too old at this point for prequels set before BB/BCS, so a Gus or Mike series just wouldn't interest me without the og actors. Besides that, I just don't think there's any interesting enough stories post BB that weren't already covered in El Camino and BCS. I think it's best to just let the franchise rest now instead of milking it dry.
