What will happen to Kim Wexler? This is one of the most burning questions every fan of Better Call Saul has had as the sixth and final season has started airing on AMC. From the start, there had been questions about what would happen with Kim because she’s nowhere to be seen in Breaking Bad. As a prequel, this has many fans concerned Kim won’t be making it past season 6 alive, especially after the recent death of another major character.
Speaking about the series on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Kim actress Rhea Seehorn briefly touched on her character’s ultimate fate. For her part, she has been just as much in the dark as the fans up until she got the script revealing her character’s final scenes. Perhaps not surprisingly, the writing team has kept their plans mostly shrouded in mystery until the time came to get the scripts sent out for filming to start. That always left Seehorn anxious to get that next script, especially heading into the final season.

Kimmel had asked Seehorn if she now knows what “happens to Kim.” When Seehorn confirmed that she does, Kimmel pressed her for more details, wondering what this thing was exactly that might “happen” to the attorney in these final episodes. Seehorn could only say that Kim doesn’t just vanish into thin air, meaning that there is some kind of resolution for the character, but it’s too hard to say what that might be.
Better Call Saul Probably Won’t Have the Happiest of Endings
AMC
Breaking Bad fans will know not to expect the happiest ending for Better Call Saul. It seems that most fan favorite characters meet some kind of unfortunate fate. There are many Better Call Saul characters who will go on to meet these fates on Breaking Bad, while what ultimately happens with Jimmy McGill, who’s now going by Gene Takavic in Omaha, still has yet to be revealed.
Ahead of season 6, Rhea Seehorn offered a subtle hint about what fans can expect in the final season with one word: “Devastating.” This could be taken in a number of ways, as to whether she’s referring to what happens to her Kim Wexler character, or if it’s just a “devastating” conclusion to the overall story, such as what becomes of Saul Goodman. In any case, it’s not going to be all sunshine and roses heading up to the series finale, but that is probably evident to the fans who just watched the first three episodes of season 6.
Better Call Saul airs new episodes every Monday on AMC and AMC+.
