We don’t have to wonder if Better Call Saul will be renewed or cancelled this time around. AMC has already picked up for season six but that will also be the final season. The ratings for Better Call Saul have been dropping since the first season. Will they continue to fall right to the very end or, will they finally start to rise? Stay tuned.

There is a season 6 scheduled, so that’s probably why
Of course, like all great shows, who’d want to see it come to an indefinite end? I also believe great shows are best to leave on a high note, or at least with dignity. It would be unlikely, but terrible to see people begging for Better call Saul to be removed from the air. Also, like Breaking Bad, arguably the best show in television history, and being directly spun off from that show, Better call Saul should only do 6 seasons, a nod to the parent show, and being aware that it’s just that time to exit. 6 seasons is… Read more »
