ShowrunnerPeter Gouldteased in a statement:
Jimmy McGill’s journey takes surprising, left-handed turns in Season 2 He goes to places we’d never, ever expected. As for Mike Ehrmantraut (played by Emmy nominee Jonathan Banks), he’s pulled deeper into a world he was sure he’d left forever. We can’t wait to share the next chapter of Better Call Saul with the fans who have embraced the show.
We haven’t heard much in the way of concrete detail aboutBetter Call SaulSeason 2. But with shooting already underway in Albuquerque and now a premiere date locked in, it shouldn’t be long before more info starts leaking out. In the meantime, check out two intriguing new images below. That’s clearly Saul’s friend Kim (Rhea Seehorn) gazing at him with disapproval in the first photo, so it seems we can expect her to return as well.
Better Call Saul’s freshman season garnered high (albeit notWalking Dead-level) ratings and higher acclaim. It was nominated for seven Emmy Awards including Outstanding Drama, Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama, and Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama. Though aBreaking Badspinoff,Better Call Saulquickly became its own thing, finding a tone and storyline that felt compatible with the earlier series without simply mimicking it.
On a lesser show, the fact that we essentially know how Jimmy’s attempts to go straight work out — they don’t — might rob the show of its tension, butBetter Call Saulmines it for tragedy. Walter White’s descent into evil was sickening, in all the right ways; Jimmy’s slow path to losing his soul is all the more tragic because we get to see that he tried so hard not to. Check out a previously released Season 2 teaser below.
