It now also has updates for the movie El Camino. It primarily focuses on characters and events that may be relevant to whatever Jesse Pinkman will be facing, so sorry to Rhea Seehorn fans, but this timeline will be light on Kim, as well as many other terrific characters from both series. This timeline was constructed using the episodes of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul as a primary source, with help from the exhaustive Breaking Bad wiki, as well as this 2011 calendar from Vulture.

But before we climb into Pinkman’s passenger seat, it’s worth revisiting the events of those series and their increasingly complex chronology.

Jesse Pinkman drives off in that car-an El Camino-and what we’re about to see is what happens next. El Camino brings us more Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul), and while Saul serves as an origin story of sorts for Jimmy/Saul (and for Jonathan Banks’s Mike Ehrmantraut), El Camino is an immediate continuation of that searing Breaking Bad finale). First came Better Call Saul, the story of Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk) in the days before Walt and Jesse arrived in his office. Instead, they’ve chosen to dive into the lives of two of his associates. But Gilligan and his cohorts weren’t interested in dragging out the story of Walter White’s transformation into Heisenberg. The penultimate episode of the series shows us six months, the final episode takes three days.īut that was all before Better Call Saul, and well before the premiere of the Breaking Bad movie, El Camino. Some episodes cover a day or two, others sprawl out over weeks or months. Walt-but even without those leaps, it wasn’t the most straightforward of timelines. It leapt around in time some-even the pilot hop-scotched back and forth, beginning with those khakis flying through the air before cutting back to a pre-diagnosis, pre-R.V. First, it was just the story of Walter White (Bryan Cranston) and company. But there’s also the Breaking Bad-iverse, set in Vince Gilligan’s New Mexico. There’s the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the many worlds and stories of Star Wars, the Arrowverse, and the Archieverse. Maybe it’s better to call them Cinematic Universes™, the result of expansive storytelling and the desire to keeping milking cash cows until they run dry. We’re living in a time of cinematic universes.
