Breaking Bad Spinoff 'Better Call Saul' Already Renewed for Season 2, While Season 1 Delayed

The Breaking Bad spinoff Better Call Saul about the show's resident legal expert and comedian Saul Goodman has not even hit the airwaves yet, but AMC has already decided to renew the show for Season 2!

The network has order 13 episodes for the second season, which will premiere in early 2016, to go along with 10 episodes for Season 1.

But the news is not all good, as the network also pushed the series' premiere date from later in 2014 to early 2015. So we've got more Bob Odenkirk, but we have to wait longer to get him.

In other Better Call Saul news, Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan has signed on as co-showrunner of the spinoff alongside Peter Gould, who created the Saul Goodman character. Gilligan also directed the Better Call Saul pilot.

"Production on Better Call Saul is underway and we could not be more proud of nor more excited about the work to date. We join the fans in eager anticipation for this series and today we happily confirm that our initial Saul order is for two seasons and a total of 23 episodes," said AMC president Charlie Collier in a statement. "When introducing any series, especially one with the DNA of Breaking Bad, there are countless factors to consider in making sure the show gets the launch it deserves. We have a strong history with Vince, Peter, Bob, the studio and so many involved with this production; we are enjoying the process on Saul and all share a focus on making it a true television event. No half measures."
