AMC confirmed that the final season of Better Call Saul is being written amid the Covid-19 outbreak a month back before the season 5 premiere.

We couldn’t be more grateful to the fans and critics who are making this journey possible. Next month, we start work on the sixth and final season – we’re going to do our damnedest to stick the landing.”
Today, we from The Hollywood Tribune, have everything you need to know about Better Call Saul Season 6, so if you’re a fan of this show, there are going to be spoilers ahead.
When Will Better Call Saul Season 6 Release?
Better Call Saul Season 6 filming started earlier this year in February 2020, but the show’s productions have been delayed due to the coronavirus outbreak. Plus, Season 6 is set to have 13 episodes instead of the usual 10.
Who’s in Better Call Saul Season 6 Cast?
Bob Odenkirk obviously will be back as Jimmy McGill/ Gene Takavic/ Saul Goodman. Also back would be main characters like Rhea Seehorn as Kim Wexler, Patrick Fabian as Howard Hamlin, Michael Mando as Nacho Varga, Jonathan Banks as Mike Ehrmantraut, Giancarlo Esposito as Gus Fring and Tony Dalton as Lalo Salamanca.
Season five also introduced some Breaking Bad cameos, which include the likes of Dean Norris and the late Robert Forster, so The Hollywood Tribune won’t be much surprised if more characters return to the show.
Although Adam Paul has said, “I’m such a big fan of that show. But in recent seasons, in a flash-forwards, especially now knowing where Jesse is, there’s just no reason for him to be at that place and at that time. I can’t imagine him showing up in Better Call Saul”.
What Can We Expect from Better Call Saul Season 6 Story?
Season 5 of Better Call Saul did not disappoint at all with the episode of “Bagman” rated as the best in the series. Season 5 also collided with Jimmy’s storyline with the drug cartel in a thrilling manner, and the final episode of “Something Unforgiveable” featured two shocking twists that made Lalo Salamanca survive an assassination plot and Jimmy getting into a disagreement with Kim Wexler over a scheme that they could run together.
But as usual, Better Call Saul Season 6 plot is not known, and fans will make assumptions based on the season finale. Lalo Salamanca knows that Gus Fring was behind his failed assassination attempt, which results in the tense conflict between the cartel members reaching an all-time high. Lalo will be looking for revenge to end Nacho Verga and Gus Fring.
A subplot of Better Call Saul season 6 will address Gus’s plans for Nacho. Season 5 made it clear that the latter wants to leave the business, and instead, he is pulled deeper into the operation. Gus does not want Nacho to leave and refuses to free him; Don Eladio also wants Nacho to run operations north of the border.
Better Call Saul Season 6 will also look into tying up Jimmy/Kim relationship by following up on Kim’s plan to destroy Howard Hamlin’s legal career. Jimmy and Kim do not see eye to eye on this, and this creates a division in their dynamic. Kim is set to pursuing this, but Jimmy does not want to be a part of this.
This a fantastic setup for Better Call Saul season 6 and his shows that Jimmy has not fully completed his transformation into Saul Goodman. He took steps in season 5, but there’s substantial work to be done.
Peter Gould adds to that by saying, “During the breaking of season 5, which you guys are seeing right now, the fog started to lift. We started to see where we think it ends, and I have to say, none of it is where we expected when we started.”
The star of this show Bob Odenkirk has also described season 5 as “the best season we’ve ever done,” so the final season will have a lot to live up to.
