The Breaking Bad prequel is coming to an end.
Multiple outlets confirm that AMC’s Better Call Saul will come to a close in 2021, after being renewed for a sixth and final season on the cabler.
News that the series is coming to an end was announced by show runner Peter Gould and co-creator Vince Gilligan at the show’s Television Critics’ Association winter press tour panel.
“From day one of Better Call Saul, my dream was to tell the complete story of our complicated and compromised hero, Jimmy McGill. Now AMC and Sony are making that dream come true,” said Gould.
“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.”
And it appears that would be the end of the Breaking Bad universe.
Co-creator Vince Gilligan responded to repeated question from reporter whether he’ll continue the franchise with a simple — “probably not.”
Season 5 of Better Call Saul is set to premiere on February 23rd.
