Better Call Saul Season 6 is certainly one of the most-anticipated crime drama series of AMC. And the fans are desperately waiting for it to hit the screens. However, it seems like they will have to wait for a little extra to see the conclusion of Bob Odenkirk’s Saul Goodman story. The main reason behind the delay is Odenkirk himself. So, when will the final season of BCS land on the screens? Here are all the latest details.

Better Call Saul is an American dark comedy crime drama TV series. Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould created this show for AMC. It is a spin-off prequel to one of the highest-rated dramas Breaking Bad. The series premiered back on February 8, 2015. Since then, AMC has released a total of five installments. And in January 2020, they renewed the show for the sixth and the final season. 

Better Call Saul Season 6: Production Status!

Initially, the production of the show’s final season was scheduled to begin in September 2020. However, in July, Rhea Seehorn stated that they wouldn’t start its filming until it is safe to do so. The cast and crew finally hit the sets on March 10, 2021, to start filming for Better Call Saul Season 6. Each episode took about three weeks to film, and they had an estimated schedule of six months.

However, in July, Bob Odenkirk suffered a heart attack, and he collapsed on the sets. Later, Odenkirk confirmed this news by posting a tweet. He informed the fans that he is in stable condition and has been treated without surgery. However, he also revealed that he is taking a little break to recover, but he would be back on the sets very soon.

The production is still running, but at present, they are only filming those scenes that don’t involve Bob Odenkirk’s, Saul Goodman. Odenkirk is still not cleared to return, but the good thing is that his condition is stable, and he is recovering at a very good rate. 

What Will Happen Next? 

Peter Gould recently had a chat with EW in which he suggested fans to ask themselves what is going to happen next. He continued by saying, “Does Saul Goodman/Jimmy McGill/ Gene Takovic deserve to die? Does he deserve love? And what would be the fitting end to his story?” He also stated that eventually, everyone’s end is death, but that’s not going to happen with him.

Further, during an interview with the Guardian, Odenkirk teased that he didn’t think that Kim is dead. Also, he thinks that she might be in Albuquerque and practicing law. So, the fans can expect to see Kim in Better Call Saul Season 6. 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. The way things are going right now, AMC will likely release Better Call Saul Season 6 in the first quarter of 2022. Till then, stay tuned with us for more updates.

Soon after having a breathtaking finale, Freeform renewed Cruel Summer Season 2 to explore those loose ends left behind. Created by Bert V Royal, Cruel Summer follows the complicated story of two teenage girls. However, the high school outcast Jeanette Turner suddenly becomes the school’s popular girl after the sudden disappearance of queer Kate Wallis in the mid-1990s. Now that the psychology thriller returns with the second season, let’s see what story it would explore.

Cruel Summer Season 2: Is It Renewed Yet?

Freeform renewed Cruel Summer for the second run soon, a few hours after the first season finale hit the network. Soon showrunner Tia Napolitano went down the memory lane of making those ten episodes and called it the best first show-running experience. She even said that it is an absolute dream to continue with the second run and was grateful for the fans’ response.

Shortly, Freeform president Tara Duncan said renewing Cruel Summer Season 2 was an easy decision. The series hit the platform and has been the biggest series debut in the history of Freeform. Further, the overwhelmingly positive response made the decision easier. Duncan added EP Jessica Biel, Michelle Purple, and Tia did a marvelous job of telling such a story.

Cruel Summer Season 2: Who Could Be In The Cast?

Well, deeming the first season’s finale, it’s safe to guess that Olivia Holt will return as Kate Wallis with Chiara Aurelia as Jeanette Turner. Further, Froy Gutierrez as Jamie Henson, Brooklyn Sudano as Angela Prescott, and Allius Barnes as Vince Fuller will join. Harley Quinn Smith as Mallory Higgins will return with Michael Landes as Greg Turner and Nathaniel Ashton as Ben Hallowell. But Blake Lee’s Martin Harris died at the beginning of the show. Yet he appeared in Kate’s traumatic memory as flashbacks which he might continue in the next run.

Bert V Royal Left The Show

The series creator Bert V Royal officially stepped down as Cruel Summer’s showrunner ahead of season 2. As per The Hollywood Reporter, Royal left the show last summer amid the conflict with Freeform’s executive. But, when the show aired, Royal was still given credits for his work. Despite this, Royale decided to quit instead of choosing any back-end profit. Soon after Royal’s exit Jessica Biel and Tia Napolitano joined as EPs for the next run.

Cruel Summer Season 2: What To Expect?

The finale ended on a dramatic note where Jeanette learned that Kate was held prisoner but decided to do nothing. But, what will happen next remains a mystery. As Duncan said the team is in the early stage of mapping the second run. But the second run would continue with a super-twisty mystery. Perhaps each character would go through some psychological issues.

However, Deadline earlier reported that it would follow an anthology pattern featuring a new story with the same cast. So either it would follow multiple timelines while introducing a new group and dive into an entirely different era. If not, we might discover what happened with Kate and how she would find a way out of that prison.

Cruel Summer Season 2: When Will It Premiere?

It’s only been a month, and more after the finale dropped on the network. But, the executive producer Jessica Biel shortly confirmed that the second run would air somaetime in 2022. While Freeform is yet to confirm the official release date, we wouldn’t be surprised if season 2 follows the same release schedule. It means season 2 could return in April 2022 on Freeform. While it will air on August 2022 on Amazon Prime Video.

Will there be Turn Up Charlie Season 2? Back in 2019, Idris Elba impressed everyone with his performance in Netflix’s comedy-drama. However, the show failed to impact the viewers on the same level, and hence it faced the consequence. The streaming giant dropped the show, but some loyal followers of the series are still in favor of its return. So, will this show ever return? Here are all the latest details.,

Turn Up Charlie is a British comedy web TV series. Idris Elba and Gary Reich created this show for Netflix. Idris portrayed the lead character in it as well. The entire comedy drama’s debut season came to Netflix on March 15, 2019, with a total of eight episodes and received a mixed response overall.

Turn Up Charlie Season 2: Renewal Status!

Initially, the officials were quite tight-lipped regarding the fate of the series. And then, one year after its release, they pulled the plug from it. Netflix officially confirmed that Turn Up Charlie Season 2 wouldn’t happen. The streaming giant also released a statement that reads, “We’re especially thankful for star and executive producer of this show Idris Elba, who transformed his passion for DJing into a funny, heartwarming comedy show.”

They also added that they are grateful to executive producers Gary Reich and Tristram Shapeero and co-executive producers Martin Joyce and Ana Garanito, along with the passionate cast and crew, for taking this story to life on Netflix. Not just that, Netflix mentioned looking forward to maintaining our connection with Idris on future projects.

This statement by Netflix broke the heart of many fans who were desperately waiting for the release of the second season. It has been more than a year since the platform canceled this show, and it seems like the streaming giant has no intention of reversing its decision. 

What Could Happen Next? 

By the end of the first season, viewers saw Charlie learning a valuable lesson. He realized that he needs to maintain success and work ethic and went for a world tour with agent Astrid. Sara separated from her husband, David, officially. She remained in London whereas David went to shoot a film. So, Turn Up Charlie Season 2 will likely revolve around Charlie’s world tour and his relationship with Astrid.

It might also feature more of Charlie’s parents as he went to tell the truth about his aunt and himself. Meanwhile, Sara and Gaby will try to settle in their new life in London. So, the storyline of Turn Up Charlie Season 2 can go in a lot of different directions. But unfortunately, it won’t happen now. 

Turn Up Charlie Season 2: Release Date

As we mentioned above, Netflix canceled the second season of this comedy-drama more than a year ago. So, now the only possibility of Turn Up Charlie Season 2 to happen is to get picked up by any other network. If this happens in the near future, then the second season of Turn Up Charlie might release by the end of 2023.
