A new teaser trailer has dropped for the upcoming fifth season of Better Call Saul on AMC. A prequel to the critically-acclaimed and award-winning AMC show Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul follows the story of Jimmy McGill as he works his way up from small-time con man to legitimate lawyer and then all the way back down again as he makes his transition into the flashy, crooked persona of Saul Goodman.
Although the show reveled in its connections to the world of Breaking Bad in its first few episodes, Better Call Saul soon found its footing and entertained viewers with slick camera work, terrific performances, and lots and lots of montages. Better Call Saul is a show about process, whether the process in question is preparing for a legal case, deciding on which colorful outfit to wear, or covering the interior of an entire house in tin foil. Better Call Saul is in no hurry to tell its story, and because of that each and every episode feels incredibly important even though the violence and action segments are spaced much more far apart than they were in Breaking Bad.
Now, AMC has released a new teaser for Better Call Saul’s Season 5 on YouTube, and it looks like the show is getting ready to kick up the action a little. Longtime viewers know roughly where Better Call Saul currently sits on the Breaking Bad and El Camino timeline, and because of this fans may be understandably anxious about Gus Fring’s near completion of his underground laboratory, especially when knowing what eventually takes place inside. However, the new BCS teaser trailer embedded below shows a different problem for Jimmy/Saul.
In a quickfire series of shot-reverse shots, the teaser displays Saul as being trapped in the back of a very untrustworthy-looking vehicle, with a gun stuck in between the front two car seats and both of the back doors missing their locking mechanisms. The song on the radio repeats the lyric “I’ve got murder on my mind” over and over again, and Saul looks back and forth from the gun to the driver in a very suggestive manner until they finally reach their destination.
Obviously, Saul/Jimmy isn’t going to die in Better Call Saul. It’s a prequel to a show fans know the character already exists in, so that one particular fear has been out the window since the very first episode. With this fact in mind, however, there are many things just as bad, if not worse, than death, many of which could conceivably happen to him between now and the beginning of Breaking Bad. Other fans have clamored for a second Breaking Bad movie, one which reunites Saul and Jesse, but such a hope is only hearsay and not very likely. For now, fans can tune in to Better Call Saul on AMC in just a few months to see where Saul is ending up.
