Giancarlo Esposito Believes Better Call Saul Will End After Season 6

Giancarlo Esposito believes Better Call Saul Will End after Season 6

According to Giancarlo Esposito, aka the villainous Gus Fring — maker of delicious chicken fingers, executer of criminal under lords, and Walter White’s greatest nemesis — the hit drama series Better Call Saul could possibly end after Season 6.

Considering where we left off with Saul at the end of Season 4, it makes sense that two more seasons would properly close the arc of everyone’s favorite crooked lawyer.

“It’s tricky with [co-creator Vince Gilligan],” Esposito told Collider. “If you look at the Breaking Bad model, he said five years, five seasons, but it was really five and six,” (due to the final season being split in two).

He then went on to say of Better Call Saul: “There will be six seasons. It seems like that’s the way, the comfortable way, to end this show.”

In Better Call Saul’s fourth season, which ran from August to October 2018, Chuck’s death catalyzes McGill’s (Bob Odenkirk) transformation into Saul Goodman. In the wake of his loss, Jimmy takes steps into the criminal world that will put his future as a lawyer – and his relationship with Kim (Rhea Seehorn) – in jeopardy. Chuck’s (Michael McKean) death deeply affects former colleagues Howard (Patrick Fabian) and Kim as well, putting the two of them once again on opposite sides of a battle sparked by the Brothers McGill.

Meanwhile, Mike Ehrmantraut takes a more active role as Madrigal Electromotive’s newest (and most thorough) security consultant. It’s a volatile time to be in Gus Fring’s employ, as Hector’s collapse sends shock waves throughout the Albuquerque underworld and throws the cartel into chaos — tearing apart both Gus and Nacho’s well-laid plans. While Gus changes course, Nacho finds himself in the crosshairs of deadly forces.

The critically acclaimed drama is executive produced by Peter Gould, Vince Gilligan, Mark Johnson, Melissa Bernstein, Thomas Schnauz and Gennifer Hutchison. The series recently garnered a 2018 Peabody Award, and, over three seasons, has earned 23 Emmy Award nominations, three Golden Globe Award nominations, two Writers Guild Awards, three Critics’ Choice Awards, a Television Critics Association Award and two AFI Awards for “TV Programs of the Year,” among many other Guild nominations. Created by Gilligan and Gould, the series stars Bob Odenkirk, Jonathan Banks, Rhea Seehorn, Patrick Fabian, Michael Mando and Giancarlo Esposito.
