"It's all a guessing game, in my part," the actor told Collider . "It's up to Vince Gilligan, who created and wrote Breaking Bad, and Peter Gould, who was a part of the episode that spawned Saul Goodman."

Odenkirk also hinted that there is "a lot [more] to find out about Saul" and that the new show could explore an "ethical grey area".

"I've always loved The Rockford Files and The Night Stalker," he said.

"We're in a different era of television now - you can get much darker and more complicated with your characters and your situations."
