Jonathan Banks is going high after the first season finale of Better Call Saul on April 6, Monday.
Mike get his own episode during the first season that showed his tragic background, as well as numerous moments of being a complete badass. The scriptwriters are presently working on the second season, and Banks says he couldn't destroy the plot for fans even he intends to. According to Banks, he can't give any single hint because they don't even have any idea about it. He said this during The Hollywood Reporter's 35 Most Powerful People in New York Media party on Wednesday night.
Banks also explains that the much-praised show in which the episode revealed his backstory in Philadelphia was big for him in the previous season.
"On a selfish level, the sixth show, where they wrote me this love letter of a script, what more could I ask for?" Banks further explained. "But when we first got there, we're tied very closely to Breaking Bad, and you think, 'Where are we going to go? What are we going to do?' It as probably the second or third show where I thought, 'We have our own show. It's good.' "
Banks was among the stars who came to celebrate at Four seasons on Wednesday night to toast for the 2015 edition of THR's yearly 35 Most Powerful People in Media list. The season 1 of Better Call Saul, maybe the weirdest season finale the fans ever seen.
Most of the episodes are delegated to Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk, whose character will in fact change his morph and name into the Saul Goodman viewers recognize and love from Breaking Bad at some time) going on a trip to Chicago to be with old friend, played by the great character actor Mel Rodriguez.
Jimmy was a small-time con man, at the time in Chicago, to the level that Jimmy's winning lawyer brother, Chuck (played by a great Michael McKean), is continually worried Jimmy will depart the instantly and tapered to fall back into a life of simple scores and negligible felonies.
Chuck is true to be worried, as the last scene of the season demonstrates. In a lot of ways, it's Better Call Saul in a nutshell. Fans, please let us know what you think about this.
