'Better Call Saul' renewed for fifth season at AMC

Season 4 has not even aired yet but executives at AMC have already decided to renew 'Better Call Saul' for another season at the network.

The fourth season of AMC's 'Better Call Saul' is only scheduled to premiere on August 6, but the 'Breaking Bad' spinoff has already been renewed for a fifth season at the network. The news was confirmed at the show's 2018 TCA (Television Critics Association) tour where lead star Bob Odenkirk, who portrays lawyer Jimmy McGill/Saul Goodman on the show, took to the stage to show off a washable tattoo of the 'Better Call Saul' logo emblazoned on his left arse cheek. Supposedly a measure of the star's commitment to the series, it was even accompanied by the date for the premiere of this upcoming season. 

Season 3 aired between April and June 2017 and left audiences with the prospect of Jimmy having to deal with brother Chuck's (Michael McKean) death. The older sibling had torn off the wiring inside his residence and set fire to the house with him inside, leaving many to wonder whether we would see him once again in season 4. However, the plot synopsis and soon, the trailer, confirmed that Chuck had indeed succumbed in the blaze.
