Walter White Will Meet Kim Wexler This Week
Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul are two of the best TV shows ever. The original show and the spinoff revolutionized TV storytelling and garnered millions of fans because of it.
Walter White was the main character of the parent show, and Kim Wexler was the breakout character of the prequel series, but they never met on either one. Now, the actors who portrayed them will interview each other for Variety on June 9.

Bryan Cranston and Rhea Seehorn are two of the best TV actors of all time. Even though they'll both be best known for their work in the Breaking Bad universe, they are currently enjoying great success in other projects.
Cranston was just in the reboot of Malcolm in the Middle. It premiered on Hulu in April to celebration and fan rejoicing. Seehorn is even busier after starring in one of the most critically acclaimed drama series in recent memory, Apple TV+'s Pluribus.
The science fiction series follows a woman who must navigate life within a hive mind after aliens take over the planet via mind control. Seehorn's character is one of the only people who survived the takeover, and she has to figure out how to keep her sanity and overcome the strange happenings around her. It's a novel concept by Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan, and it's a favorite to take home many Emmys at the end of the year.
Seehorn never won an Emmy for her brilliant work in Better Call Saul. Cranston won four Best Lead Actor awards for his work as Walter White. It's always been a curious fact why that show was overlooked for awards while its predecessor won so many. That's a discussion for another day, though.
Fans will love seeing these two incredible performers talk about their related experiences on the set of a shared fictional universe, and maybe even find out more about what they have coming next in their careers.
