With just a little over a month before "Better Call Saul" premieres, AMC is going full throttle to promote the new series. The network has released the first official poster and a new teaser for the "Breaking Bad" spin-off.
Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) looks frustrated as he stands in the middle of the desert, leaning against a pay phone. The promo video is equally vague, showing nothing but Saul's white Cadillac emerging from a car wash.
"Better Call Saul" is set set six years before Saul Goodman became Walter White's lawyer. When we meet him, the man who will become Saul Goodman is known as Jimmy McGill, a small-time lawyer searching for his destiny, and, more immediately, hustling to make ends meet.
Working alongside, and often against, Jimmy is "fixer" Mike Erhmantraut (Jonathan Banks), a beloved character introduced in "Breaking Bad". The series will track Jimmy's transformation into Saul Goodman, the man who puts "criminal" in "criminal lawyer."
The show will launch with a two-night premiere on Sunday, February 8 at 10/9c and Monday, February 9 at 10/9c. AMC has ordered a 13-episode second season of the upcoming drama.
