Not every Breaking Bad fan returned for more content in this universe. But, as a series that Empire ranked at number 27 on its list of The 100 Greatest TV Shows of All Time, Better Call Saul is an undeniably worthy successor to its trailblazing source material.

The seven-week break between both halves was shorter compared to the split final season of Breaking Bad, where the two halves aired a year apart. [78] Splitting the season in two allowed the show to nominate each half of the season for different Emmy Awards ceremonies, as the first half was eligible for the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards in 2022, while eligibility for the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards began in June.

In April 2020, Michael Mando and Tony Dalton separately said filming was scheduled to begin that September, but both were unsure if it would be delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [5] [22] Rhea Seehorn said in July that filming would not begin until it was safe to do so. [23] In August, producer Mark Johnson said the pandemic could limit where the series films by eschewing specific indoor locations: "Like a lot of other people, we're going to have to be very creative in where and how we shoot [...] A lot of places just won't let you in [...] We don't want everything to be a chamber piece". [24] In the same month, Gould said filming was unlikely to start in 2020 due to the pandemic, adding that while Sony Pictures Television was doing "everything humanly" possible for the series to resume filming safely, "I think we are probably going to delay a little bit unfortunately." [25] In October, Esposito said filming would begin in March 2021, [26] which was echoed by Odenkirk in February 2021. [27] As for what others shows might fill the Bob Odenkirk-shaped hole in your life after Better Call Saul ends in July, Apple TV Plus' The Mosquito Coastand Netflix stablemate Ozark – which ends “later in 2022”– seem like good places to start.
