Fans of the Breaking Bad universe have received an unexpected treat. Bob Odenkirk has officially returned to his iconic role as Saul Goodman for a new video project. While the acclaimed series Better Call Saul concluded its run in 2022, Odenkirk recently revived the fast-talking attorney for a public service announcement celebrating the upcoming 250th birthday of the United States.
A Familiar Face With a New Message
The video, released via the Saul4Democracy YouTube channel, features Goodman addressing the public directly. Rather than pitching his usual legal services, the character focuses on reminding Americans about their constitutional rights. In classic fashion, he acknowledges that the documents were written by men in powdered wigs, yet he insists that the protections remain surprisingly relevant today.
The PSA balances Goodman’s trademark comedic charm with a sincere message about the freedoms citizens enjoy. He emphasizes that these rights were secured through the efforts of previous generations and encourages viewers to remain informed about their legal protections.
A Surprise Reunion
The project offers more than just a solo performance from Odenkirk. Near the end of the video, Jonathan Banks makes a surprise appearance as Mike Ehrmantraut. The character pops in to give the message his signature approval, providing a brief but nostalgic moment for fans of the franchise.
Seeing Odenkirk and Banks back in character serves as a reminder of the enduring chemistry between the two performers. Their return to these roles highlights why these characters remain television icons long after their respective series ended. With the Fourth of July holiday approaching, the video serves as both a civic reminder and a fun trip down memory lane for those who miss the world of Albuquerque.
You can watch the full PSA on the official Saul4Democracy YouTube channel. For more on the actor’s recent work, you can also check out his IMDb profile.
