Development

On July 28, 2018, AMC renewed Better Call Saul for a fifth season, just prior to the airing of the fourth season.[2]

Writing

On what to expect in the fifth season, series co-creator Peter Gould said:

It seems like Jimmy's first move is to try to leverage all the contacts he has in the world of selling drop phones. But don't forget, he also knows the vet [Caldera] ... and the vet is sort of Craig's List for the underworld in Albuquerque. So he can get quite far. The question is: how does he establish a reputation as not just a criminal lawyer but a criminal lawyer? And what does that mean to him at this point? Because situations may require him to do things and turn a blind eye to things that Jimmy McGill would not be able to stomach.[1]

Casting

Main cast members Bob Odenkirk, Jonathan Banks, Rhea Seehorn, Patrick Fabian, Michael Mando and Giancarlo Esposito return from previous seasons as Jimmy McGill / Saul Goodman, Mike Ehrmantraut, Kim Wexler,[1] Howard Hamlin,[3] Nacho Varga,[4] and Gus Fring.[1] Tony Dalton, who appeared in the final two episodes of season four as Lalo, was promoted to the main cast for the fifth season.[5]

Filming

Filming for the season is scheduled to begin on April 10, 2019, and is expected to end in August.[6]

Broadcast

This season is planned to premiere in 2020. Regarding the decision to air the season two years after the fourth season, Sarah Barnett, the president of the entertainment networks group at AMC Networks, said the long hiatus was "driven by talent needs, which we would not override if it would result in a worse show."[7]
