Better Call Saul’s sixth and final season is set to conclude in August. The show is a prequel to Breaking Bad which follows lawyer Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk).

The spin-off has also featured other Breaking Bad characters, including Mike Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks) and Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito). Walter White (Bryan Cranson) and Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) are set to appear in the final episodes.

Breaking Bad spanned five seasons from 2008 to 2013. In 2019, a sequel film was released, El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie, which continued Pinkman’s story.

Better Call Saul’s final season will resume on July 11.
