AMC has ordered a fourth season of the Breaking Bad prequel, Better Call Saul. The 10 episode fourth season will premiere in 2018.
The just-ended season saw two-bit attorney Jimmy McGill (Odenkirk) slowly beginning his descent into the Saul Goodman character from the Emmy-winning Breaking Bad. He nickels and dimes his way through a suspended law license; a devastating feud with his successful, snooty and mentally unstable older brother (Michael McKean); a potential settlement that could make him rich; and a legal-ānā-more partnership with Kim (Rhea Seehorn).
AMC notes that Better Call Saul finished Season 3 as the third-highest-rated drama on cable among adults 25-54. The season averaged 3.6 million viewers per episode, including 2 million adults 25-54 in Nielsen Live+3 ratings.
