AMC UPDATES ON âBETTER CALL SAULâ
NEW YORK, NY, June 19, 2014 â AMC today provided the first of several planned updates on the âBreaking Badâ prequel âBetter Call Saul,â including the release of a first-look photo from the Albuquerque, New Mexico set where the widely-anticipated drama began production on its first 10-episode season earlier this month.
This update includes:
· âBreaking Badâ creator and showrunner Vince Gilligan is directing the âBetter Call Saulâ series premiere, and co-showrunning along with fellow âBreaking Badâ alum Peter Gould, creator of the Saul Goodman character.
· AMC confirmed it has already ordered a second season of 13 âBetter Call Saulâ episodes, for an initial total of 23.
· The network also announced a change of the series schedule with âBetter Call Saulâ premieres slated for early 2015 and early 2016, respectively. Specific dates will follow, but the show will join âThe Walking Deadâ and âTalking Dead,â two of televisionâs top-rated hits, on AMC in the first quarter of each of the next two years.
· The first-look photo shows Gilligan and Gould from the set, with star Bob Odenkirk (Saul Goodman).
âProduction on âBetter Call Saulâ is underway and we could not be more proud of nor more excited about the work to date. We join the fans in eager anticipation for this series and today we happily confirm that our initial âSaulâ order is for two seasons and a total of 23 episodes,â said AMC president Charlie Collier. âWhen introducing any series, especially one with the DNA of âBreaking Bad,â there are countless factors to consider in making sure the show gets the launch it deserves. We have a strong history with Vince, Peter, Bob, the studio and so many involved with this production; we are enjoying the process on âSaulâ and all share a focus on making it a true television event. No half measures.â
In addition to Gilligan and Gould, several âBreaking Badâ writers have returned to work on âSaul,â including Thomas Schnauz and Gennifer Hutchison. Bradley Paul has also joined the writing team, along with Gordon Smith, who was a writersâ assistant on âBreaking Bad.â âBetter Call Saulâ is executive produced by Gilligan, Gould, Mark Johnson (âBreaking Bad,â âDiner,â âRain Manâ) and Melissa Bernstein (âBreaking Bad,â âRectify,â âHalt and Catch Fireâ) with âBreaking Badâ alums Stewart A. Lyons and Schnauz as co-executive producers for Sony Pictures Television.
