Jimmy feels the heat in Better Call Saul season 6 trailer

Blair Marnell

The world of Breaking Bad may be coming to an end now that Better Call Saul is heading into its final season. Astute viewers are well aware that Better Call Saul is both a prequel and a sequel to the original series. Each season has opened with a glimpse of Saul’s depressing life as “Gene” after he lost everything in Breaking Bad. In the past five seasons, viewers have witnessed how the loveable Jimmy McGill/Saul Goodman became Albuquerque’s favorite “criminal lawyer.” What no one expected was that Jimmy would drag his lover, Kim Wexler, down to his level. Even Jimmy was shocked by that!

However, Kim’s darker turn is clearly haunting her in the first trailer for Better Call Saul season 6. And she may be correct in assuming that she is being followed by someone with nefarious intentions. Jimmy also discovers that he can’t escape the shadow of the Salamanca cartel. After the events of last season, Jimmy is viewed as the Salamanca’s go-to lawyer, and that’s attention that he could do without.

At this point, Jimmy is unaware of Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito), the local drug boss whose hatred of the Salamancas knows no bounds. Unfortunately, Nacho (Michael Mando) isn’t as lucky. He wants to escape his life of crime, but Gus is blackmailing him into sticking close to Lalo (Tony Dalton), the Salamanca family’s deceptively brutal local enforcer.

Faux commercial teases return of the terrifying Gus Fring on ‘Better Call Saul’
better call saul fring season gus

Vince Gilligan, creator of Better Call Saul, had already confirmed through some crafty Easter eggs that the terrifying Gus Fring character from Breaking Bad would indeed appear in the spinoff series Better Call Saul. And now, a hilarious clip for the upcoming season creatively teases his return.

Breaking Bad fans know that Fring, played by Giancarlo Esposito, was secretly the head of a massive drug ring (until Walter White, aka Heisenberg, took over, of course), but he was publicly known as the owner of a popular fast food joint called Los Pollos Hermanos. And the teaser plays on this, serving simply as a 30-second fake ad spot for the joint.

How Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould became ‘pixel peepers’ making ‘Better Call Saul’

“We make Better Call Saul for the pixel peepers — the folks who want to watch it on the biggest, most perfect OLED screen as possible.”
And the noose just keeps getting tighter and tighter. When we last saw Jimmy McGill (played by the always engaging Bob Odenkirk) at the end of season two of Better Call Saul, it appeared as if he was on the verge of being exposed in a lie with deep-rooted legal implications. Too bad he can’t call on his eventual Breaking Bad alter ego, Saul Goodman, to come bail him out if things get exceedingly dire for Slippin’ Jimmy in season three, which will begin airing in early 2017 on AMC.

Until then, we can marvel at the scope, sharp story arcs, and overall audio/visual brilliance of Better Call Saul: Season Two, available now on Blu-ray and DVD via Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. As helmed by co-creators Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould of Breaking Bad fame, Saul continues to both honor and build upon the high standards BBad set for the postmodern cable-outlet drama.

Bryan Cranston is a fan of Better Call Saul, the Breaking Bad prequel that follows lawyer Jimmy McGill as he gradually transitions into Saul Goodman.
