Bob Odenkirk has gone from one hit show to the next after rising to fame playing Saul Goodman on Breaking Bad.
After his jaw-dropping performance spawned the spinoff series Better Call Saul, the 60-year-old American actor jumped right into a new Stan series, Lucky Hank.
Speaking to Today host Brooke Boney on Friday, he said he was “excited” about the “high expectations” people have for him in the new show after the success of the other two shows.

Odenkirk went on to say, “If I sit around waiting for something as wonderful in conception as Saul, coming out of Breaking Bad, perhaps the greatest show ever, if I wait for that to happen again, I’ll never do another one.” show.’
The interview comes just days after Stan released a trailer for Lucky Hank.
The streaming service unveiled the promotional video on the Wednesday ahead of the series’ March 20 premiere.
The highly anticipated show stars Odenkirk opposite The Killing’s Mireille Enos, and follows a man in the midst of a mid-life crisis.
Odenkirk plays Hank, who has spent his life working in an English department at a university located in a working-class American town.
The official press release summarizes the state of the game ahead of the new drama’s release, and it seems like Hank’s work-life balance is completely off.
‘I get very, very anxious and I pour it out at work. Let’s do better. Let’s ask ourselves what we can do better today,” she told Today show host Brooke Boney.
“Hank’s discontent is rooted in unresolved issues with his father, a mediocre and entitled student body, and the fact that his department is more savagely divided than the Balkans,” the official statement read.
Enos plays Hank’s wife, Lily, who serves as an assistant principal at a local high school in rural Pennsylvania.
A series of events has caused Hank’s life to fall apart, leaving Lily to question the decisions she’s made.
The new series has been executive produced by the team behind Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad.
