Will there be a Better Call Saul season 7? (Is season 6 the final season?)
By Reed Gaudens
On April 18, 2023, a new season of the fan-favorite and Emmy-nominated crime drama series Better Call Saul arrived on Netflix. The sixth season of the Breaking Bad spinoff landed in our watch lists and skyrocketed directly into the top 10 most popular shows. Clearly, viewers have been waiting to binge season 6, and now they’re wondering if Better Call Saul season 7 is on the way.
Better Call Saul first premiered on AMC in February 2015, not long after its predecessor’s massive series finale in September 2013. While Saul Goodman had huge shoes to fill, considering Breaking Bad was a pop culture phenomenon, he surely left his own mark. The series landed almost 50 Emmy Award nominations! Not all spinoffs can pull that off.
But after you finish binge-watching the latest season on Netflix, can you look forward to Better Call Saul season 7 in the future? Here’s what fans need to know about what’s to come for Saul and the Breaking Bad franchise!
Will there be a Better Call Saul season 7?
Unfortunately, you better not call Saul for a seventh season. Better Call Saul season 7 isn’t happening, since AMC announced Better Call Saul season 6 as the final season back in January 2020. The announcement arrived about a month before the fifth season started airing in February 2020.
Better Call Saul season 6 contains 13 episodes and premiered in April 2022 with its first seven episodes. Following its May 2022 mid-season finale, the final season resumed airing July 2022 with its six final episodes. The series finale of Better Call Saul aired on AMC on Aug. 15, 2022.
New seasons of the series have consistently premiered on Netflix one year after a season’s televised premiere, making season 6’s April 2023 arrival on the streaming service inevitable. While some fans are watching the season again, others are watching it for the first time, and both parties sending it to the top 10.
Sadly, this is Saul Goodman’s swan song. Vince Gilligan, the creator and mastermind behind the Breaking Bad universe, has said that he has no plans to create more stories within the franchise of the hit series, having already started working on an unrelated project on Apple TV+ with Saul star Rhea Seehorn. Likewise, Odenkirk now stars in the AMC series Lucky Hank.
