AMC's new 'Better Call Saul' series hires more 'Breaking Bad' writers for 2014 episodes

The Breaking Bad spinoff series Better Call Saul has yet to receive a release date from AMC but it did pick up some promising new writers! Possibly one of the most anticipated series of 2014, Better Call Saul has just hired some writers from Breaking Bad that served as key players in the success of the hit AMC series.

Variety reports:

"Breaking Bad" alums Thomas Schnauz and Gennifer Hutchison have joined Peter Gould on the staff of the prequel series bound for AMC next year. Schnauz will serve as co-exec producer on the Sony Pictures TV series starring by Bob Odenkirk. Hutchison will be supervising producer. Schnauz spread the word of his hire Wednesday night with a Tweet noting his move into the "Saul" offices.

Last week Schnauz posted the following tweet to his Twitte account, announcing his new position with the show:

If you're recognizing these writers' names, you are a true Breaking Bad fanatic. These two were responsible for some of the greatest episodes of the series and therefore television in general. Schnauz garnered an Emmy nomination for writing the season 5 episode "Say My Name," which he also directed. Hutchinson wrote the epic episode "Cornered" which involved the iconic "I am the one who knocks" line that has since become one of the most quoted lines from the show.

Better Call Saul will premiere sometime in 2014, though AMC has yet to announce this date and new episodes will stream shortly after airing on Netflix.
