It took six years after the end ofBreaking Badfor Walt and Jesse to share the screen again inEl Camino.
It took three more years to get this meth-making duo together for another flashback scene inBetter Call Saul.
“We’re going to eat alotof snacks together,” he sums up with a sinister laugh.

How did this latest and unexpected reunion of the revered, Emmy-winning drama come to be?
What was it like to return to the scene of many crimes?
And this can’t be the last time that fans will see Walt and Jesse together again, right?
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY:You, Aaron and Vince reunited just six months ago onBetter Call Saul.
Did this idea come together in the wake of that reunion?
Did you miss each other that much?
The characters don’t break and goof around.
They are who they are.
Walk us through this reunion.
How did it feel to be standing in the simulated desert, oppositeTuco shouting, “Tight!
Tight!“again?
Well, there we are.
We were actually in a real desert out past Lancaster [California].
I think we had three different ones.
One that ran really well, but didn’t look as good.
But this, we used the outside and inside of our hero RV.
Even how Walt talked.
We all had our own distinctive ways of communicating.
It was just so much fun.
That’s one of the biggest reasons we did it.
And the second thing is: We’re just going to have a lot of fun.
The show had this very wicked sense of humor and, of course, was about making meth.
And he’s just munching down.
And we’re really proud of it.
It’s just fun.
We hope the fans look at this and smile just like we were smiling when we did it.
What was the greatest security measure that was taken to film this?
It was also very secretive.
We did our wardrobe calls at our own houses, so we didn’t have to be in public.
Yeah, I think we pulled it off.
I don’t think there were too many leaks in our enterprise there.
They pulled up the clips from those moments that we were overlaying the new dialogue with the old dialogue.
We were really looking at how we can reenact those moments as carefully as possible.
And yeah, it seemed to fit perfectly because of the cooking process.
So here we are.
It is really kind of a pure snack.
And it’s not meth, so that’s good.
I was eating the product all day long.
I’m so accustomed to creating something and letting it go.
To paraphrase Heisenberg, “We’re only done when I say we’re done.”
So, where do we stand?
We thought that was going to be the last time we ever did those characters.
And then we had another opportunity in theEl Caminomovie, and then it was like, “Oh!
So it might not be the last.”
I’m not sure, but… you know, we’ll just leave it to the fates.
