Better Call Saul renewed for season 5
By Ryan Stuver
The journey of our favorite T.V. lawyer is far from over, as Better Call Saul has been renewed for Season 5.
Well, it’s safe to say that Vince Gilligan’s spinoff prequel series of Breaking Bad has been quite a success. Before an episode of Season 4 of Better Call Saul has even aired, a Season 5 has already been confirmed.
The show has really come into its own over the past few seasons. The third season ranked as the #5 cable drama among adults 25-54 along with piling up the awards and nominations.
The announcement was made at the Television Critics Association summer press tour. Thrilled by the announcement, Saul actor Bob Odenkirk decided to drop down his pants to show off his new temporary tattoo, which happened to be in a place on his backside that some might not want to see. The tattoo says Aug. 6 (the premiere date of Season 4) and Better Call Saul inside of a black heart with an arrow through it.
