The final chapter, from Sony Pictures Television, will premiere with two back-to-back-episodes starting at 9 p.m. Monday, April 18, on AMC and AMC+. The 13-episode final season will roll out in two parts, with the first seven episodes launching April 18 and culminating with the series’ final six episodes starting July 11.
Starring Bob Odenkirk, Rhea Seehorn, Jonathan Banks, Giancarlo Esposito, Michael Mando, and Tony Dalton, Better Call Saul’s final season concludes the complicated journey and transformation of its compromised hero, Jimmy McGill (Odenkirk), into criminal lawyer Saul Goodman. From the cartel to the courthouse, from Albuquerque to Omaha, season six tracks Jimmy, Saul, and Gene as well as Jimmy’s complex relationship with Kim (Seehorn), who is in the midst of her own existential crisis. Meanwhile, Mike (Banks), Gus (Esposito), Nacho (Mando), and Lalo (Dalton) are locked into a game of cat and mouse with mortal stakes.
Showrunner and Executive Producer Peter Gould said, “In my eyes, this is our most ambitious, surprising and, yes, heartbreaking season. Even under incredibly challenging circumstances, the whole Saul team — writers, cast, producers, directors and crew — have outdone themselves. I couldn’t be more excited to share what we’ve accomplished together.”

Three new original shortform series connected to the world of Better Call Saul also will debut this spring: the animated Slippin’ Jimmy; Cooper’s Bar, starring Saul’s Rhea Seehorn; and new episodes of the Emmy-winning Better Call Saul Employee Training Video series.
Slippin’ Jimmy, a six-part animated series from the world of Better Call Saul, follows the misadventures of a young Jimmy McGill and his childhood friends in Chicago. Told in the style of classic ’70s-era cartoons, each episode is an ode to a specific movie genre — from spaghetti westerns and Buster Keaton to The Exorcist. Premiering on AMC’s digital platforms this spring, the series is produced by Rick and Morty animators Starburns and written by Better Call Saul writers Ariel Levine and Kathleen Williams-Foshee. Voice talent includes Chi McBride, Laraine Newman and Sean Giambrone, among others. Down below, you'll find the first trailer.
Cooper’s Bar, led by Saul’s Seehorn, is a six-episode digital series that follows the antics of character actor Cooper (Lou Mustillo, Mike & Molly) and the unique group of L.A. natives who frequent his neighborhood bar. Seehorn also serves as an executive producer and directs on the series. Casey Washington, David Conolly and Kila Kitu also star in the series, which was created by Conolly, Hannah Davis-Law, Nick Morton, Mustillo and Seehorn.
Better Call Saul’s Emmy-winning “Employee Training Video” series also will return this summer, featuring Saul Goodman’s trusty University of New Mexico film crew teaching viewers how to make commercials the Better Call Saul way. The videos will feature cameos from Saul characters and be penned by Saul writer Ariel Levine.
Better Call Saul garnered a 2018 Peabody Award and, over five seasons, has earned 40 Emmy nominations, four Golden GlobeAward nominations, six Writers Guild Awards, nine Critics’ Choice Awards, five Television Critics Association Awards and four AFI Awards for TV Programs of the Year, among many other guild nominations.
