AMC Renews ‘Breaking Bad’ Spin-Off ‘Better Call Saul’ for Second Season

Emma Loggins June 20, 2014

Fans may be still be wary of the Breaking Bad spin-off Better Call Saul, but AMC executives surely aren’t. They’ve already greenlit the series for a season nearly a year before the series premieres in 2015.

Bosses at America’s AMC network have decided to give the show a 13-episode second season, due to air in early 2016. Better Call Saul, a prequel series starring Bob Odenkirk as scheming lawyer Saul Goodman, was originally slated to premiere this November, but executives pushed its debut back to early 2015.

Production is already underway in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where the Emmy-winning drug drama was also shot, and Breaking Bad creator and executive producer Vince Gilligan is slated to direct the season premiere.
