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.

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?
It now seems obvious that they’re going to wait until after this season finishes before making THE announcement. I don’t get it though. The writers, actors and everyone else involved need to know where they stand. I’d like the next season to be for 13 weeks, and the show moved back to a February run start. Please don’t make the writers have to start rushing their job! Regards from England.
Please renew it took some time but it is really on all eight cyl. now and as Jake notes below: 5 Seasons and out: It took a solid two years of BB to take off and will take this year, I think, to move the show to a slightly faster pace. Cool writing and Odenkirk’s was tremendous tonight : writing was really well done. It is a great piece of art. 5 Years please!!!
Please renew!! Best show on television and the best prequel of all time to my favorite show ever Breaking Bad. Would be devastated if it gets cancelled.
Renew!!!!!
Renew!
Quickly!
I think Better Call Saul should go for 5 seasons, like Breaking Bad. Season 3 is set in 2003. Breaking Bad season 1 is 2008. That’s five years of story and there are a lot of gaps to fill. Things are about to really heat up as we see not only how Saul Goodman came to be, but we will also get a closer look of his crazy dealings. Then there’s Tuco out of jail, Gus Frings growth, and the always intriguing Mike Ermentrout. What happens to Chuck? What happens to Kim? What happens to Nacho?
(We know what happens to Nacho)
Renew, please!!
With little else of equal quality on the small or large screen, I demand that Season four of Better Cal Saul be released.. paaallleeeaasseee – from the depths of Victoria Australia
We want a renewal! We love the Show and have family that do as well!!!
Please please pretty please renew it!!! I love it more and more each season
Better Call Saul is smarter and better written than Breaking Bad. It doesn’t have the same dramatic highs(haha) maybe that is the problem.
There’s got to be a Season 4 of Better Call Saul! This series is, hands down, perfection.
I know Better Call Saul doesn’t have the “umpph” of Breaking Bad but I LOVE this show..always rooting for Jimmy, knowing its not going to end too well for him but don’t want to be caught hanging…need to know how it all plays out!
THERE HAS TO BE A 4th Season, PLEASE
This is a truly awesome Series in every way! Please, don’t cancel, and, please, give its appreciative audience Season 4!
