Legendary actress and comedian Carol Burnett has joined the cast of ‘Better Call Saul’ for its sixth and final season.
AMC said in a press release Monday that Burnett, 89, will play the character Marion. She joins previously announced guest stars Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul, who will reprise their Breaking Bad roles of Walter White and Jesse Pinkman. Said Burnett: “I’m thrilled to be a part of my favorite show.”
