How to Watch Better Call Saul Season 6: Is it Streaming Online?

AMC’s popular crime drama series, Better Call Saul is returning one last time with a sixth and final season this April. It’s been quite a long haul, waiting for two years to watch Jimmy McGill’s final transformation into Saul Goodman and finally, Gene Takavic. And now the wait has paid off, and it’s time for the aspiring do-gooder lawyer to transition into a shady criminal lawyer (and probably a criminal himself).

In 2020, after the fifth season was released, Better Call Saul was renewed for a sixth season. But the Covid-19 pandemic, among other things, delayed the production, and hence the release. Better Call Saul Season 6 stars Bob Odenkirk, Jonathan Banks, Rhea Seehorn, Patrick Fabian, Michael Mando, Tony Dalton, and Giancarlo Esposito in leading roles.

The story of Better Call Saul Season 6 focuses on Jimmy’s (Odenkirk) new identity, Saul Goodman, and how he ends up as Gene Tacavic, which we see at the very beginning of the series in a flash forward. In the process, the final season will also touch upon the other characters in Jimmy’s life with whom he got involved at some point or the other.

Watch the Better Call Saul Season 6 Trailer

The trailer for Better Call Saul Season 6 was released on March 10, 2022, and looks as dark as expected from the last act of the story. The new trailer reveals how Jimmy McGill has finally given up being the starry-eyed aspiring lawyer and acknowledged his newfound identity of Saul Goodman, to establish his business as a corrupt criminal lawyer. But this path he has chosen is going to send him on the run for his life. That would explain why he ends up in Omaha.

The trailer shows that Kim (Rhea Seehorn), his wife and partner-in-crime, will also be at risk. On one side, she is planning a lawsuit scam and on the other, now that Lalo Salamanca (Tony Dalton) escaped a murder attempt, the drug lord is not going to let anyone slide. His fight with Gus/Gustavo Fring (Giancarlo Esposito) could trickle down to Jimmy and Kim as well.

The two could also be facing threat from their ex-employer and rival, Howard Hamlin, who’s all set to build a case against Jimmy. All in all, it looks like the couple has no escape but as Jimmy says in the trailer, “the wicked flee when no man pursueth.” But are they wicked enough to flee or is Jimmy once again overestimating himself as always?

When Is the Better Call Saul Season 6 Finale?

The 13th and the final episode of Better Call Saul Season 6, directed by Peter Gould, will release on August 15, 2022.

What Is Better Call Saul Season 6 About?

“Whatever happens next, it's not gonna go down the way you think it is.” Or that’s how the official synopsis is summing up the plot of Better Call Saul Season 6. The story will of course take off from where season five left us, not to mention with tons of burning questions and tense moments.

The most significant cliffhanger of Season 5 was Nacho trying to kill Lalo and failing miserably by trying to burn him down in his house. But Lalo had already figured that out and manages to escape. Lalo also figures out that Gus is behind his attempt. So, it’s obvious he’s going to go after him. And in the process, he’s not going to spare anyone that’s connected to Gus or Nacho, including Jimmy, Kim, and Mike Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks)

As far as Jimmy and Kim are concerned, their relationship seems to be taking a different turn, because now Kim is also changing and realizing that she’s more (and could do more) than an idealist. We’ll also find out what finally happens to Mike. Basically, the final season will tie all the loose ends from the previous seasons and give the smaller story arcs some closure. Or so we are all hoping. What we have to see is how it all ties back to Breaking Bad, since this spin-off series serves as both a prequel to Breaking Bad.

In short, Better Call Saul Season 6 will not be a story of wins but of losses, especially for Jimmy McGill, but he’s not going to go down without a fight for sure.
