Better Call Saul season 5, reportedly, wrapped up filming recently, but the official release date of the fifth installment remains unknown until now. While it was revealed the AMC series would arrive at some point in 2020, the exact air date has yet to be revealed.
In a report via Vulture, AMC President Sarah Barnett explained why they decided to delay the release of Better Call Saul season 5. She said they had to push back the series' air date due to some issues regarding the production, as well as the cast.
According to CarterMatt, fans may have to wait for the official release date announcement of the fifth installment -- though the premiere might be revealed anytime soon. It's worth noting that AMC has been posting teasers about the new season, particularly about Jimmy McGill, hinting the arrival of the fifth installment.
The series frequently updates its social media account, especially about Jimmy, before he turns to Saul Goodman. AMC usually shares more details about a show before making an official announcement, so many believe the network may soon drop the release date of Better Call Saul season 5, as well as its trailer.
Meanwhile, there were previous speculations that the fifth installment would be the penultimate season of the series. The producers previously said they have no intention of going past after six seasons, so most fans believe that the Better Call Saul season 5 would be the penultimate one.
In another related report, El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie recently arrived on Netflix, and it raises some questions about the upcoming season, including the potential appearance Bryan Cranston's character, Walter White. He surprised many fans with his appearance in the Netflix movie, so some speculated he would also appear in the latest installment.
Cranston told Entertainment Weekly that he's willing to appear in Better Call Saul season 5. But then, he also admitted he didn't spend much time as to why he's not part of the franchise. The actor said if there's a possibility his character will return in the series, then he's willing to come back as Walt. Right now, however, there were no confirmed details he's indeed coming back.
Also, there were also some questions about the possible cameo of Aaron Paul's character, Jesse Pinkman, in the upcoming fifth season. However, previous reports already pointed out that the ending of El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie suggests there's no reason for his character to appear in the series.
