Better Call Saul: Filming for the sixth and final season officially begins

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

A new photo posted by Better Call Saul co-creator Peter Gould has confirmed that production on the show's sixth and final season is underway. The photo makes good on a February update stating that the show will start filming in March in New Mexico, after setbacks due to the Covid-19 pandemic. As for the image itself, it's simply a photo of the show's clapper that keeps track of shots and other information per episode. This one does feature an epic porn-stache, though, so be sure to enjoy that.

"We still have some shifting around due to COVID-related production delays for our shows," AMC Networks chief Josh Sapan said during an earnings call last month. "For Better Call Saul it does look likely, at this point, that [it] will move into the first quarter of 2022. That’s the way we’re seeing it right now."

How Better Call Saul will conclude is still anyone's guess,  but Bob Odenkirk recently spoke with Collider to offer a few teases based on what he's heard.

I'm finding out script by script [how the season goes]. I'm told that the wheels come off in Season 6 and it explodes in a million directions. That sounds to me like there's a fair amount of violence, but I don't know for a fact. We have a discussion where my point of view is that Walter White became an angry, broken version of himself. I wonder if it would be possible to write — because I like the guy — I wonder if it would be possible to give Jimmy McGill a better ending, a better place to end in than he started in. I don't know if they're going to do that though.

Better Call Saul co-creator Peter Gould has previously teased that when the series comes to an end, we might just see Breaking Bad in a very different light. "I think we're going to learn things about the characters in Breaking Bad that we didn't know," Gould said. "We're going to learn things about the events of Breaking Bad that we didn't know. And we're going to learn things about the fates of a lot of these characters that may surprise people or certainly throw them into a different light. I think we started this 2007, so that's 13 years of work that's distilled, this all has to fit together. Hopefully like a perfect jigsaw puzzle. I don't know if all the joints are going to be absolutely even. I'd sure hope so. We're going to do our best to sand it down."
