JIMMY MCGILL'S JOURNEY TO SAUL CONTINUES WHEN SEASON TWO OF AMC'S "BETTER CALL SAUL" RETURNS MONDAY, FEBRUARY 15th AT 10:00 P.M. ET/PT
NEW YORK, NY - November 23, 2015 - AMC announced today that the critically acclaimed, Emmy(R)-nominated series "Better Call Saul" will return for its second season on Monday, February 15th at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT. A prequel to the award-winning series "Breaking Bad," the series follows down-on-his-luck Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk) as he navigates the moral dilemmas of the legal world while trying to step out of his older brother's shadow and make a name for himself. Season one found Jimmy stumble upon a large class-action lawsuit, which led to a promising job opportunity at a large firm. Having arrived at a fork in the road, will Jimmy take the straight and narrow path with a safe corporate job or will he fall back into his "Slippin' Jimmy" con-artist ways?
"Jimmy McGill's journey takes surprising, left-handed turns in season two of 'Better Call Saul.' He goes to places we'd never, ever expected. As for Mike Ehrmantraut, he's pulled deeper into a world he was sure he'd left forever," said Peter Gould, executive producer and showrunner. "We can't wait to share the next chapter of 'Better Call Saul' with the fans who have embraced the show."
In addition, AMC released today two new photos from season two as well as a new promotional spot for the series' season two return, viewable at: http://www.amc.com/shows/better-call-saul/video-extras/trailer-the-right-thing-better-call-saul-season-premiere
