Is 'Better Call Saul' Nearing an End?
by EG
It's been a mystery when Breaking Bad prequel Better Call Saul was going to catch up with its parent series' timeline and call it quits. Now, one of the show's stars says that the time is drawing near. Read on for details.
One of the stars of Better Call Saul says the end of the AMC series is approaching.
Giancarlo Esposito said the Breaking Bad prequel, which is currently in production on its fifth season, will wrap up after a sixth. That would put it about the same length as its predecessor, which ran for 62 episodes over five seasons (with the fifth broken into two halves aired roughly a year apart).
"It's tricky with [co-creator Vince Gilligan]," the actor said in an interview with Collider. "If you look at the Breaking Bad model, he said five years, five seasons, but it was really five and six" with the split final season.
As for Better Call Saul, "There will be six seasons," Esposito said. "It seems like that's the way, the comfortable way, to end this show."
AMC declined comment. Sources told The Hollywood Reporter, however, that a plan for the show's endgame is by no means set in stone.
