The Emmy-winning Better Call Saul star will helm a new production company called Cal-Gold Pictures. Joining him is Ian Friedman as head of television. But there’s more — Odenkirk also signed a first-look producing deal with Sony Pictures Television. 

“I started in this grand charade called showbizness as a writer, it’s my default mode, so whenever I’m not onscreen you will find me in ‘development hell’… it’s wonderful to finally have partners as good-natured and experienced as Sony and Ian to share hell with,” Odenkirk said in a statement. 

“I’m incredibly excited to work alongside Bob in this endeavor. I have been a massive fan of his for over 20 years. Having the opportunity to develop ideas together and bringing these concepts to fruition is a dream come true,” added Friedman. 

Odenkirk is best known for his roles on Breaking Bad and its spinoff series Better Call Saul.

The Better Call Saul star will make a guest voice appearance on Fox’s iconic animated series. 

Odenkirk’s character is said to be a mob lawyer. The episode is penned by his brother Bill Odenkirk. 

“He charges by the minute so he speaks… really… slowly,” elective producer Al Jean says of the character. “He just wants money for talking to Fat Tony.” 

The episode involves sting operation and the Simpsons patriarch. “Homer is the mark because he’s got such a big butt so he’s a good target for pickpocketing,” explains Jean. “Fat Tony is arrested but he didn’t do it — and he has to find out who did do it.”

Here’s to seeing Odenkirk play a shady lawyer with slippery interpretations of the law — again!

Season 31 of The Simpsons debuts in September. 

Entertainment Weekly was the first to report the news.

In an interview with EW, Odenkirk who plays Jimmy McGill, aka Saul Goodman, said he thought the show was a “huge risk” and that he doubted that Saul was likable enough as a character for the Breaking Bad spin-off to work.

“I always thought it was a huge risk, and all I wanted was them to do it for their own reasons, and not because I asked them to do it or pressured them to do it,” he said. “So I basically backed off every single time it was suggested to me. I think Vince might have thought it was kind of weird to suggest to an actor, ‘What if I create a show for you?’ and have that actor look at him and go, ‘I dunno. It’s your free time. Do what you want with your time.’

“My first question when we talked was, ‘How do you make him likable?’ Because I didn’t like that guy. I mean, I like watching him—like a car wreck when you’re not in it. It’s intriguing. It pulls you in. But he’s a bad guy.”

He also spoke about the upcoming season and emphasized that he is reluctant for his character to become Saul:

“I’m having to confront the fact that he is becoming Saul, and I don’t like Saul,” he shares. “If he was my friend, I would say, ‘Don’t go that route.'”

Season 4 of Better Call Saul will premiere on August 4th.

Season 3 spoilers ahead.

When?

AMC has confirmed that season four will premiere this summer. The release date is August 6th in US.

We can reasonably expect the trailer pretty soon, given that it usually airs three months before the upcoming season premieres.

Who?

Bob Odenkirk will return as Jimmy McGill, along with Rhea Seehorn as Kim Wexler and Jonathan Banks as Mike Ehrmantraut.

We will be seeing more of Giancarlo Esposito as Breaking Bad‘s freakishly calm and collected villain Gus Fring and the spooky Salamanca cousins, Leonel and Marco, will return with Daniel and Luis Moncada.

It’s very possible that we’ll see the return of more Breaking Bad characters such as Hector Salamanca (Mark Margolis) and Lydia (Laura Fraser) who made appearances in season 3.

It has also been confirmed that a new “very important character” will be entered into the show. A man called Lalo is referred to in Breaking Bad when he first meet Saul.

“[Other than Lalo], we have a couple of new characters that we’ll be reintroducing to the world. We probably don’t want to say who yet, just to preserve the fun of that for the fans,” added executive producer Melissa Bernstein.

What?

Below is the AMC  official synopsis for season four:

“In Better Call Saul‘s fourth season, Chuck’s death catalyses Jimmy McGill’s transformation into Saul Goodman. In the wake of his loss, Jimmy takes steps into the criminal world that will put his future as a lawyer – and his relationship with Kim – in jeopardy.

“Chuck’s death deeply affects former colleagues Howard and Kim as well, putting the two of them once again on opposite sides of a battle sparked by the Brothers McGill. Meanwhile, Mike Ehrmantraut takes a more active role as Madrigal Electromotive’s newest (and most thorough) security consultant.

“It’s a volatile time to be in Gus Fring’s employ, as Hector’s collapse sends shock waves throughout the Albuquerque underworld and throws the cartel into chaos – tearing apart both Gus and Nacho’s well-laid plans. While Gus changes course, Nacho finds himself in the crosshairs of deadly forces.”

We can’t wait!
