“It’s all good, man,” Jimmy McGill says in the finale of Better Call Saul Season 4 as he goes to complete his transformation to Saul Goodman. The finale sets up what fans can expect from Season 5 of Better Call Saul now that the transformation to the Breaking Bad character is complete.
Will there be a Season 5 of Better Call Saul?
AMC renewed Better Call Saul for a fifth season before Season 4 aired. Therefore, we will likely get a Season 5 release date on schedule since the production team doesn’t have to wait for a renewal. Fans should expect Season 5 around August 2019 as the series closes in on Breaking Bad.

What to expect in the fifth season?
In Season 5 of Better Call Saul, fans can expect Jimmy’s relationship with Kim Wexler to take a turn for the worse. In the Season 4 finale, Kim was stunned or confused by Jimmy’s emotional manipulation. Since she has enabled his behavior so far, we will find out how she deals with Saul Goodman in the next season.
