Walter White and Jesse Pinkman may no longer be on television, but attorney Saul Goodman will be and we finally know when he’s coming back. The Breaking Bad character’s own series will premiere in February.
The highly anticipated Better Call Saul will begin on Sunday, Feb. 8 at 10 p.m., AMC announced. In addition, fans will get episode two on the very next night, Monday, Feb. 9 at 10 p.m.
Better Call Saul was created by Breaking Bad’s Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould. It is produced by Sony Pictures TV, the same studio behind the previous series.
Saul is technically a prequel, centering on Bob Odenkirk's Breaking character before he met Walter White. The supporting cast features Jonathan Banks, Michael McKean, Rhea Seehorn, Patrick Fabian and Michael Mando.
“This February, during AMC's first ever two-night series premiere event, we’re going to introduce Jimmy McGill to the world. Known to Breaking Bad fans as Saul Goodman, viewers will soon discover Saul wasn't always Albuquerque’s top criminal (criminal) lawyer,” AMC President Charlie Collier said in a statement. “Huge thanks to Vince Gilligan, Peter Gould, Bob Odenkirk, our partners at Sony, and the entire team. We’re thrilled to be cooking together again."
Saul was originally supposed to premiere this year, but AMC pushed it back until 2015. As a bonus though, the network greenlit a second season for 2016.
