Even though Better Call Saul has come to a close, there's always a chance that Vince Gilligan will have some grandiose idea for a spinoff. At the very least, Rhea Seehorn hopes the show gets the Breaking Bad treatment, as she's not quite done playing Kim Wexler.
Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Seehorn opened up about playing the bright lawyer and counterpart to Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk) across six seasons. She says she still has much to learn from Wexler, and that she hopes Better Call Saul's final season wasn't the last time she gets to portray her.
"I don't think that I will ever forget her. I hope one day there's an occasion to revisit these characters," she said. "Getting to play one character over the course of seven years, and the massive allowance of evolving and subtext and growth that they allowed us to play — she feels very three-dimensional as a human to me."
She continued:
There are parts of her that, as an actor and as a human, I am still trying to learn from, but I'm not fully successful. I don't have a poker face like she does. I would like to not nervously fill silences. It was very meaningful to me to meet fans that Kim meant so much to and for me to realize [the viewers] are often her greatest confidants in scenes, because she doesn't let other people in the room know what she's thinking.
Considering Seehorn is set to star in a Gilligan-directed Apple TV+ series soon, her wish may come true — though the plot details for the show have yet to be shared.
