Much like its predecessor Breaking Bad, the sixth and final season of Better Call Saul will premiere in two parts.
Just days after a new teaser trailer was released, AMC announced that the first seven episodes of season 6 will air back-to-back starting April 18 at 9 p.m. ET. The remaining six episodes will premiere July 11.
The final season was initially set to air in 2021, but production was halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The series was paused yet again after Bob Odenkirk suffered an on-set heart attack over the summer, but the beloved star made a speedy recovery and remains in good health.
Season 5 ended on a cliffhanger with audiences unsure what was next for Saul, Kim (Rhea Seehorn), and Nacho (Ignacio Vargo), and the final episode showed each character in their own life-threatening situations. Season 6 will wrap up Saul’s New Mexico origin story and potentially show audiences what happens after his new life as an outlaw working at Cinnabon.
The two-part final season strategy has been used by other popular shows like Mad Men, Sex and the City, The Sopranos – and Breaking Bad.
Despite the ending of Better Call Saul, AMC isn’t done with Jimmy McGill just yet. The network has greenlighted a six-part animated series about Jimmy’s days of being a young con man in Chicago titled Slippin’ Jimmy. The Los Pollos Hermanos Employee Training Series will also return to Youtube over the summer.
