'I'm thrilled to be a part of my favorite show,' Burnett said in a brief statement.
This comes two months after Carol Burnett made a rather surprising appearance with Bob Odenkirk during his Hollywood Walk of Fame induction ceremony in mid-April, the first possible hint that she was appearing on the show.
She will also be joined by original Breaking Bad stars Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul, who reprise their roles as Walter White and Jesse Pinkman in the final season.
The final episodes will, 'conclude the complicated journey and transformation of its compromised hero, Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk), into criminal lawyer Saul Goodman,' according to the press release.
