Breaking Bad Fans Adore The Comedic Relief Of Badger And Skinny Pete
On the same Reddit thread, some fans pointed out that the duo played a key role in Jesse's story, both throughout the series and in the follow-up film "El Camino." u/ABigFailure0078 said, "They definitely have their friends back period." Another Redditor, u/thegza10304, agreed with the sentiment, adding, "what they did for jesse in el camino was actually incredible."
Fans definitely warmed to the characters while "Breaking Bad" was airing, but it seems that love has only grown since the series wrapped up. As for any sort of spin-off series focused on Skinny Pete and Badger, well, it doesn't seem entirely likely. Skinny Pete actor Charles Baker is definitely open to the idea, as he told eBaum's World in 2022, however not everyone feels the same way. "Breaking Bad" mastermind Vince Gilligan insists that he's done with the universe after spin-off "Better Call Saul" recently finished up its six-season run. So while there's a lot of love for Skinny Pete and Badger, a spin-off just doesn't seem to be in the cards, at least for now.
