Saul Goodman was a pivotal character in Breaking Bad. The prequel focuses on the story of how Jimmy McGill breaks bad to become Saul Goodman.
Better Call Saul premiered in 2015 with 5 seasons released till date. The 5th and most recent season was released in 2020. Apart from Saul Goodman, the show features various returning characters from Breaking Bad, namely Mike Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks) and Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito).
The show has managed to live up to the huge expectations of Breaking Bad fans. The show has received 39 Emmy nominations over the course of its five seasons and has been critically acclaimed. It is one of very few examples of a successful prequel/spin-off show.
“Yesterday an amazing crew of people finished shooting “Better Call Saul” in Albuquerque, NM,” Odenkirk wrote on Instagram. “It began in 2014, with great writing always leading the charge, and despite challenges of all kinds, our energy and care never flagged. I am honored to have been part of it.”
The final season of Better Call Saul was delayed due both to the challenging nature of filming during COVID-19 and because star Bob Odenkirk suffered a heart attack on the set of the AMC series.The season is scheduled to release in two parts. Part 1 will premiere on April 18th with 7 episodes with part 2 scheduled to premiere on July 11 with 6 episodes.
