Bad news for Better Call Saul fans.. the show won’t return until 2020.
To begin with, Better Call Saul was a way to ease the blow after the Breaking Bad season 5 finale. Now though, it’s an amazing show in its own right and we are just as excited to watch the next season as we were when we were watching Heisenberg take on Gus Fring.
Unfortunately, there’s no binge-watching when it comes to the spin-off show. Each episode comes out weekly on Netflix and the seasons drop once a year… at least that’s what we thought.
Now, it seems that we will have a two year wait between seasons. At least that’s what AMC’s President of Entertainment Networks Sarah Barnett has said.
“We said on our most recent earnings call that the series would come back for season five next year,” Barnett told Vulture. “It’s driven by talent needs, which we would not override if it would result in a worse show.”
When asked whether we’re getting to closer the endgame of the series, Barnett said: “Well, we know clearly the end was already written before the beginning began. [Laughs.] The writers, they have a very particular, very clear sense of the arc of their show.”
She added that she is “really not” giving anything away.
