Tag: Better Call Saul

Briefly: Following the short teaser that we saw back in August, AMC has just debuted another look at next year’s Better Call Saul via an original song performed by Junior Brown, with lyrics by show creators Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould.

The song acts as an advertisement for Saul’s firm, and it’s absolutely hilarious. 

Better Call Saul is the prequel to the award-winning series Breaking Bad.  Gilligan and Breaking Bad writer and producer Peter Gould created the show together and serve as co-showrunners of the premiere season.  The series is set six years before Saul Goodman (Odenkirk) meets Walter White.  When we meet him, the man who will become Saul Goodman is known as Jimmy McGill, a small-time lawyer searching for his destiny, and, more immediately, hustling to make ends meet.  Working alongside, and, often, against Jimmy, is “fixer” Mike Erhmantraut (Banks), a beloved character introduced in Breaking Bad.  The series will track Jimmy’s transformation into Saul Goodman, the man who puts “criminal” in “criminal lawyer.”  The series’ tone is dramatic, woven through with dark humor.

Take a look at the video below, and let us know what you think! Better Call Saul premieres on February 15th!

Briefly: We haven’t heard much from the Better Call Saul front since AMC released new details early last month, but the network has just debuted the first tiny (really tiny) teaser for the series.

While the series is yet to receive a set premiere date, the teaser also reveals that Better Call Saul will premiere sometime next February.

Take a look at the teaser below, and be sure to let us know if you’re looking forward to the series!

Briefly: The series was recently delayed (and also renewed), and AMC has just let loose some new details about the anticipated Better Call Saul.

The network has announced the series regulars that will join Bob Odenkirk’s Saul, and they are Jonathan Banks (Breaking Bad,Wiseguy) as “fixer” Mike Erhmantraut, McKean (This is Spinal Tap) as Chuck, Rhea Seehorn (Franklin & Bash,House of Lies) as Kim, Patrick Fabian (Big Love, Grey’s Anatomy) as Hamlin and Michael Mando (Orphan Black,The Killing) as Nacho – characters that will represent both legitimate and illegitimate sides of the law.

Rumours led us to believe that the series would take place before, during, and after the events of Breaking Bad, but AMC’s just announced plot details sure don’t sound like that’s the case:

Briefly: Breaking Bad fans just got some good and bad news.

AMC has just revealed that Better Call Saul has already been renewed for a second season, meaning that we’ll be seeing at least 23 episodes of the Breaking Bad prequel.

Conversely, the first season’s premiere has been pushed from later this year to early 2015, with the second season to follow in 2016.

The network has also debuted the first behind-the-scenes photo from the series. Take a look at the image below, and let us know if you’re looking forward to the show!
