Premiere has been pushed back to early 2015, instead of late 2014 but has already been renewed for a 2nd season! QUOTE Either AMC’s suits really like what they have seen of “Better Call Saul“, or they’re hungry for a show that’s virtually guaranteed to arrive with a built-in audience. (Or, just as likely, it’s a little bit of both. ) Whatever the case may be, the basic cable network has already renewed its “Breaking Bad” prequel for a second season. AMC announced via press release that it has ordered a second, 13-episode season of “Better Call Saul”, which brings the drama’s initial episode order to 23. Additionally, AMC has moved “Better Call Saul’s” premiere date back from the previously announced target of November to early 2015, with season two scheduled to begin in early 2016. The network plans to harness the success of “The Walking Dead” to launch “Saul”. Given the lackluster ratings for its latest drama entry, “Halt and Catch Fire“, this seems like a wise strategy. “Better Call Saul’s” ten-episode first season commenced production earlier this month in Albuquerque, New Mexico. ”Breaking Bad” creator Vince Gilligan is directing the series premiere, and will share showrunner duties with Peter Gould, who originally created the character of Saul Goodman, played by Bob Odenkirk. The photo featured here is the first official production photo that AMC has released. A smart move to push it back for it to coincide with 'The Walking Dead' Season 5, part 2. Interesting that it's already picked up a second season! (Not that it wouldn't have had a second season anyway).

I wonder if they might schedule Better Caul Saul at 10pm, and then Talking Dead at 11pm. The latter time, is surely too late for a scripted programme. Better Call Saul would have good ratings regardless just because of the hype, and the world it's set in. Guess the bigger problem is that the last three scripted shows AMC have produced have been poor/modest ratings.

WINTER IS COMING Joined: 7 March 2006 Posts: 45,603 User: 88	Finally started watching this! I love it. It's so well made - I love the comedy elements of Saul/Jimmy's character, but it also feels like a proper drama. I'm near enough certain that Jonathon Banks will be getting an Emmy for his focus episode - it was insane.

I didn't love it instantly, but it improved a lot episode by episode. Bob Odenkirk, Jonathan Banks and Rhea Seehorn are all excellent. I want more female presence, though.

I actually prefer BCS to BB although I love both. I love the opportunity to see more of the fabulous Jonathan Banks as Mike Ehrmantraut. I've already got my Mike Coaster and am waiting for my 'Not A Chance' tee-shirt to arrive.
