Before the farewell season premieres on April 18, here is every update about Better Call Saul season six.

Who are 'coming back'?
The final season is going to be star-studded, now that Breaking Bad stars Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul are set to appear. AMC recently made the announcement online. Sharing an image of Walter White (Cranston) and Jesse Pinkman (Paul), a social media post said: "They're coming back. #BetterCallSaul." More insight into their cameo came from Better Call Saul co-creator Peter Gould at PaleyFest LA.
Quote
Walt, Jesse's return won't be only surprise this season
"I don't want to spoil things for the audience, but I'll say the first question we had when we started the show: "Are we gonna see Walt and Jesse on the show?"," said Gould. "Instead of evading, I'll just say yeah," he added. But "If you can believe it, there's more," teased Odenkirk, who was also present there, but refrained from saying anything else.

White, Pinkman, Goodman have already reunited once before
Technically, White, Pinkman, and Goodman have already reunited on-screen before as both Cranston and Odenkirk had cameo appearances in El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie (2019). The Netflix movie was set immediately after the events of the Breaking Bad finale, which happened in 2013.
