Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould certainly don’t let the fans down and will provide a befitting end to Saul Goodman’s story just like they ended Walter White’s tale back in 2013.

Better Call Saul Season 6: Release Date

AMC is yet to reveal the official release date for BCS’s final season. It was supposed to release later this year, but it wouldn’t happen due to Odenkirk’s health issues.
