Breaking Bad to Marathon Complete Series on AMC Ahead of Better Call Saul Season 6



The complete series of Breaking Bad will be airing on AMC heading up to the season 6 premiere of Better Call Saul.

AMC

Relive the original introduction of Saul Goodman on Breaking Bad before we all say our final farewells to the criminal lawyer in Better Call Saul’s final season. With season 6 of the spinoff set to arrive in April, AMC has announced plans to air the complete series of Breaking Bad in the weeks leading up to the premiere. Dubbed Breaking Bad: The Complete Marathon, this will be a five-week marathon with the complete seasons airing across five consecutive Saturdays. It starts with “Pilot” on March 19 and concludes with “Felina” on April 16, day ahead of the April 18 premiere of the final season of Saul.

Per ComicBook.com, “Pilot” will air at 1:00 PM on Saturday, March 19, with subsequent seasons starting at 7:00 AM on Saturdays. Season 2 will air on March 26, followed by Season 3 on April 2, Season 4 on April 9, and Season 5 on April 16. It’s not the first time the network has aired the entire series as AMC had previously done so in 2013 for the end of Breaking Bad. More recently, they did it again ahead of the world television premiere of El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie. The sequel film along with all five seasons of Breaking Bad are streaming on Netflix.

The final season of Better Call Saul will officially connect the spinoff to Breaking Bad, and the two shows will be more connected than ever before. Not only will the series connect the dots to how the prequel timeline fits into where Saul Goodman debuts in Breaking Bad, it will also provide resolution to his story by touching on what ultimately happens with Gene Takavic, the new identity Jimmy McGill has taken on after going on the run.

Better Call Saul Will Bring the Franchise to a Close With Season 6

AMC

All good things must come to an end. Better Call Saul has picked up 13 episodes to properly close out the story, up from the usual 10, and it will be split up into two halves to air separately on AMC this year. The first part will premiere on April 18 on AMC and air for seven weeks. The final six episodes will start airing on July 11. How it all ends remains to be seen but series star Bob Odenkirk has promised a satisfying conclusion.

“I mean, people ask me if I like Saul Goodman. The answer is no. I like Jimmy McGill,” Odenkirk told Empire. “Saul Goodman is the kind of person I would avoid, pretty much at all costs, for a million reasons. Not the least is fashion sense. Keeping those two people in the same body, and having them matter and connect up, can be a challenge for the writers and for me, but it’s been a great, great effort to try to make it work. I can’t wait for people to see this final season. There’s so many different places it goes, and there’s so much happening. It’s amazing.”
