A spinoff of Breaking Bad has been confirmed by AMC and Sony Pictures.
The prequel, to be called Better Call Saul, will focus on the life of Walter White's lawyer Saul Goodman.
The project will bypass the traditional process of filming a pilot episode and go straight to shooting the series.
According to the network, the one-hour spinoff will "focus on the evolution" of the lawyer before he became Heisenberg's defender.
It is currently unknown how soon before Breaking Bad the series will be set.
It's also not known whether actor Bob Odenkirk will be reprising the role or whether a younger actor will portray him.
