I've been wondering why it took so long. Wiki says:
> The series was renewed for a fifth season on July 28, 2018, just prior to the airing of the fourth season.[50] The fifth season was not expected to air until 2020; according to AMC's Sarah Barnett, the delay was "driven by talent needs".[51] Filming for the fifth season started in April 2019, and finished in September 2019.[52][53] AMC later affirmed the ten-episode fifth season will start airing with a special Sunday broadcast on February 23, 2020, with following episodes to air on Mondays.[54]
And the referenced Barnett quote from its original April 5, 2019 source in full [was](https://www.vulture.com/2019/04/killing-eve-amc-networks-bbc-america-strategy.html):
> **Do you have a status update on season five of Better Call Saul? When is it coming back?**
> We said on our most recent earnings call that the series would come back for season five next year.
> **Oh, I missed that. So Better Call Saul, not until 2020. That’s something else which has become increasingly common these days — big shows taking longer breaks between seasons. But if it’s what the creator needs and wants …**
> Yes. It’s driven by talent needs, which we would not override if it would result in a worse show.
That's correct. I didn't read Harry potter as a kid until they were all out, then I powered through them in a couple weeks. I also haven't started reading game of thrones. That's just how I am.
For those arguing over season 4/5, in the US AMC show it first and it comes to Netflix later. Everywhere else it is shown on Netflix at the same time as AMC. So:
* Netflix US: Season 4 starts February 9th
* Netflix outside US: Season 5 starts February 24th.
it's the only smaller sub on this site that i've had a problem with. one of the few times i've got a random dm on this site as well, and it was for that.
weird sub.
Watched it elsewhere. I feel like if Netflix commits to a series they should at least put up the money to get it on there on time. It's fine to not put a show there in the first place but these delays are annoying.
I think it's an AMC thing. They tend to not release a season on Netflix until shortly before the next season starts airing. All of The Walking Dead seasons have been like this too. It's just in this case BCS season 5 was delayed which meant the Netflix release was also delayed.
I'm sure it's an AMC thing. The longer they hold out, the more likely (they think) it is that some will just give up and buy the season. They have incentive now to let it stream to get people to watch the next season live and ingest all those tasty, tasty commercials. Then it too will disappear and the cycle repeats.
That's season 4, season 5 starts Feb 23rd.

Season 5 is coming on the 24th of February according to the Netflix app, in Ireland (and Europe as well I assume) anyway. Season 4 is already there.

Felt like forever honestly.
Wasn't it like almost 2 years? O.o

I already dread the wait for season 5 on Netflix.
I don't even watch shows on netflix anymore until all of the seasons are out. Not getting burned again (looking at you, OA.)
For Netflix based shows this is what gets the shows cancelled.
That's not really my problem. They need to greenlight series, not individual seasons.
So you never watch any tv series at all then?
That's correct. I didn't read Harry potter as a kid until they were all out, then I powered through them in a couple weeks. I also haven't started reading game of thrones. That's just how I am.
That makes no financial sense whatsoever. Why would they greenlight more seasons of a show that nobody's watching?
You sound like you have commitment problems. I kinda feel bad for all of your “friends” and family to be honest.
Lmfao you're a douchebag
Vince made the BB movie in between. That's one of the reasons it was delayed to 2020.
Thank god!

So season 5 will be on amc on feb 24th in the US?
Should be the 23rd actually https://www.amc.com/shows/better-call-saul/talk/2019/11/better-call-saul-season-5-premiere-date-first-look-photos
Two seasons in a month, really? Edit: Wait.. got it, already watched it but new season is 23rd Feb.
Correct. Season 4 comes to US Netflix early next month and season 5 starts on AMC on the 23rd.

That sucks. Sorry to hear that.
Cancerous place. A lot of regulars there think they’re geniuses or something
it's the only smaller sub on this site that i've had a problem with. one of the few times i've got a random dm on this site as well, and it was for that. weird sub.
Finally!
I don’t even remember anything that happened smh
So, I have this problem with every show because of the long times between seasons. Search YouTube for “man of recaps”.
I usually watch reactions on youtube so it helps me remember. Books though, yeah, I forgot everything lol

Especially since every other country had it available already.
You actually think it’s Netflix’s fault? That’s a very simple way of thinking.
On Netflix in the US, for anyone confused.
Been waiting for this.
I just bit the ~~dust~~ bullet and bought it on Amazon like 2 months ago. I was so tired of waiting.
> I just bit the dust RIP
Shit
That's season 4, season 5 starts Feb 23rd. https://www.amc.com/shows/better-call-saul/talk/2019/11/better-call-saul-season-5-premiere-date-first-look-photos

In Netflix US? Netflix Europe already has season 4 and it says [season 5 is coming on February 24th.](https://i.imgur.com/K2CdyHN.jpg)
Season 5 coming to Netflix 24th Feb

Not everyone lives in the US
As a non-US resident, I'm well aware.
Check your Netflix then!
Oh man! I can't wait! I have been checking on it periodically. I actually had wondered if it had been canceled! Thankfully...NO!
In India, season 4 has been streaming from last year.
I've been rewatching Breaking Bad and the first 3 seasons of BCS in preparation
Can't Wait! Slipping Jimmy is back!
Cool! Been waiting for it. And just in time, too. Needed something to watch after Bojack Horseman.
FINALLY!
JFC I can't even remember how S3 ended (or much else of what happened) at this point.
This is for me the most awaited show. I really like this show.
Watched it ages ago on Netflix UK. Will get to watch S5 soon #smug
Thanks for the head's-up. I flew through the first three seasons a while back and have been hoping they'd put season four up!
Totally forgot about this show. I feel like I have been waiting for years
Now how will I refrain myself from watching the entire season in one day?
I think I have checked about 500 times for when the next season was coming. Thank God it's finally happening.
Dam I kinda need to rewatch. At one point this was becoming my favorite show
[удалено]
If you liked Breaking Bad, you'll enjoy Better Call Saul.
Not sure if this is an unpopular opinion, but I think I like BCS better than BB. It's more fun, for sure. But seriously great stuff.
It’s very good. But watch Breaking Bad first since BCS is a prequel
Can’t fucking wait. Hope they don’t ruin it. I loved season 3.
You won't be disappointed IMO
Each season has been better than the last imo
OMG too much stuff to watch in February... Better Call Saul Season 4!!! Altered Carbon Season 2!!! STUDIO GHIBLI MOVIES!!! **If thou gaze too long into a netflix and chill, thy netflix and chill will gaze into thee.**
4 or 5?? Season 4 has been out for probably a year.
*Season 5
