What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the AMC cable channel, Better Call Saul stars Bob Odenkirk, Jonathan Banks, Michael McKean, Patrick Fabian, Rhea Seehorn, Michael Mando, and Giancarlo Esposito. This Breaking Bad prequel kicks off six years before Saul Goodman (Odenkirk) became Walter White’s lawyer. In the early 2000s, Saul is still down-on-his-luck Jimmy McGill. He’s trying to negotiate the ethical dilemmas of the legal world, emerge from his older brother’s shadow, and make a name for himself. Armed with optimism and a quick wit, Jimmy is a legitimate lawyer who often finds his ambition at odds with his moral compass.
Season Three Ratings
The third season of Better Call Saul averaged a 0.59 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 1.64 million viewers. Compared to season two, that’s down by 34% and down by 24%, respectively. Learn how Better Call Saul stacks up against the other AMC TV shows.

Telly’s Take
While it has never been a huge ratings success, this critically acclaimed TV series is one of the network’s top-performing shows not involving the zombie apocalypse. Can Better Call Saul build up its audience? Will it be cancelled or renewed for a fourth season? Despite the decline in ratings, I suspect it will be renewed.

What do you think? Are you glad that the Better Call Saul TV show has been renewed for a fourth and fifth season on AMC? How many seasons do you think this TV series will run?
I am perplexed by a lot I see on television; but, perhaps, the most compelling question I ask myself is how, in the name of Walter White, can the full and faithful audience of “Breaking Bad” NOT absolutely LOVE “Better Call Saul?” It is one of the enduring mysteries of the brouhaha that is the world of television ratings (which I’ve always felt to be overrated- pun intended- and badly flawed). At any rate, I’m looking forward to a 4th season inasmuch as I am confident there is no way AMC can screw up the decision to keep this excellent… Read more »
I really, really hope AMC continues Better Call Saul for a 4th season. It’s my favourite show since Breaking Bad and I’m literally hanging in there for each Wednesday when Netflix air the new episodes! There’s still plenty of scope for the scriptwriters so I don’t see any reason to pull the plug! It took a while to get going in season 1 but once I got used to the pace of the show, I was hooked. With regards the question should the show continue for a 4th season, most definitely, yes! Surely the success of the show has to… Read more »
This is a fantastic show and in my opinion one of the top shows on TV! Well developed characters, well edited, and imaginative writing. On a par with Game of Thrones, Stranger Things and Daredevil, this should definitely be renewed! I think one of the reasons for lower ratings is the fact that the people who watch it on Netflix don’t necessarily watch it on AMC and vice versa. Plus it airs late on Mondays. Odd programming for such a good show.
We are loving Better Call Saul season 3. Can’t wait for seasons 4and more. Excellent series. Would also like to know what happens to Saul after Breaking Bad. Any chance?
I hope there will be a fourth season. When it is finally over I will have to watch Breaking Bad again. I love both shows! Excellent!
Follower from Spain. A whole lof of people would love to have a 4th and 5th season… Excellent series.
Please renew! It’s wonderful!
Absolutely renew!!! Love this show!!!

More please!! Loved it..watched on Netflix in Ireland. there is much more to explore, right up to his meetings with the BB guys. Also more on how Mike starts working for the chicken guy…and what was Chuck up to in that last call?
I love it! I think the story is even better than BB. People should be patient and watch from the first season on. Season one and two, gives us the background of Jimmy McGill so that we can understand how and why he turns into Saul Goodman. Now in Season three, things start heating up and more characters from BB. Reappear. I really think five season would be reasonable time to explain how all these characters interact, and Saul Goodman flows into his BB character. I also think that they should dedicate a last episode to know what happens to… Read more »
I do think other things need to be considered when talking ratings in this day and age. Like how many people stream the show rather than watch it on television. I know a good 10 people who watch this show, and 1 out of 10 of them watch it on TV, the rest of them either have it on DVR, purchase it off of Amazon when the season is out, or wait for Netflix, and that’s how so many people watch TV shows nowadays. I feel like it already is, because it would be crazy if it wasn’t, but that… Read more »
Totally agree Michael. As I said in my comment above, ratings is one of the biggest hoaxes and inexact “sciences” known to man. Absent some pretty fantastic technical wizardry which I do not think even exists, I do not think they have any idea what Series have high ratings and what shows do not.
We no longer tune in…..Cancel it!
Please count no of thumbs down your comment has received
We would be very disappointed if Saul is cancelled. This is top quality
entertainment. Why don’t you advertise it more,
We want season 4
I think we are past the days where a show success is on how many people watch it on cable. The show also is on Netflix. Worldwide! I doubt AMC would rely on cable ratings.
