“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,” said Better Call Saul‘s showrunner and executive producer, Peter Gould following the announcement.
Along with the premiere date for Better Call Saul, AMC also unveiled that three short-form series connected to the world will also debut this spring. Slippin’ Jimmy, Cooper’s Bar, and Better Call Saul Employee Training Video series are among the titles. Slippin’ Jimmy is an animated six-part series about Jimmy’s adventures growing up in Chicago. Cooper’s Bar stars Seehorn and follows the stories of regulars at a local LA bar. Meanwhile, catch fan-favorites from Better Call Saul in new episodes of the Employee Training Video series this summer.
