Better Call Saul season 5 gets teaser, release date and photos
By Ariba Bhuvad
Better Call Saul is finally coming back! If you feel like it’s been a minute since we last caught up with our favorite sleazy lawyer, then you’re right. The season 4 finale aired in October of 2018. Now, AMC has announced that season 5 will return in February of 2020, breaking the news with a quick teaser:
If you’re a fan of the show, I’m sure you can already imagine a scenario where Saul slipped that prisoner his business card.
To go along with the season 5 teaser, one of the show’s partners, Cinnabon, also joined in on the fun. Cinnabon has been a part of the show since Breaking Bad’s penultimate episode, when Saul revealed his plans to go into hiding in Omaha, Nebraska and work at one after his life of crime. We’ve seen snippets of Saul, now going by the name “Gene,” working at that Cinnabon on Better Call Saul.
It’s been a Breaking Bad sort of year with the El Camino movie, so I’m glad to see its critically-acclaimed spinoff series finally coming back. For those of you who haven’t given this show a chance, you are missing out. The 10-episode fifth season will kick off with a two-night event on Sunday, February 23 and Monday, February 24.

In other TV news, Netflix is getting the internet hyped for The Witcher, which lands on December 20. Check it out!
And finally, TBS has released a trailer for the second season of Miracle Workers, a fun anthology series that had a first season set in heaven, as angels tried to prevent a lazy God (Steve Buscemi) from starting the apocalypse. The cast — including Harry Potter’s Daniel Radcliffe — returns for a second season, where they’re now playing “medieval villagers trying to stay positive in an age of extreme income inequality, poor healthcare, and widespread ignorance.”
Miracle Workers: Dark Ages airs on January 28. There’s so much good TV on these days that I hadn’t even heard of this show, but it looks fun!
