Fans lamenting the end of "Breaking Bad" can now turn their heads for the spin-off. "Better Call Saul" is coming to Netflix in a week and even European fans have their own exclusive premiere date for the two-night special.
On Feb. 9, Monday, the first episode will air on AMC in the U.S. In Europe, the same episode will be made available at 7 a.m. on Netflix. The second episode to air Tuesday, Feb. 10 will then be available in Europe on Tuesday, 7 a.m.
The Hollywood Reporter adds that Europeans will enjoy commercial-free broadcasts, on top of the one-hour gap from the U.S. telecast, which is something rare for TV shows that cross continents.
Meanwhile, what is to be expected from the premiere episode of "Better Call Saul." As fans may already know, Saul is a dirty lawyer, but everyone loves him. Actor Bob Odenkirk, who plays Saul, shared that fans will surely enjoy the premiere episode.
"I think [fans] are going to be shocked at how it takes them to a new place so fast. It hits the ground running," Odenkirk told ET. "If you've watched 'Breaking Bad' and you know it, this show will be that much richer for you. You're going to see things, and notice things, and it's going to be like you're in on it."
While this sounds all good and exciting, no one was prepared for what he said next. "The last five seconds of the first episode, when I read it, I was like, [gasps!]" Odenkirk said. "I was like, 'How did you do that to me in one episode? How did you get me to that place as a viewer where my heart drops?' And they do it in the first episode," Odenkirk revealed.
Who could make that appearance? Fans are hoping hat it could either be Walter or Jesse, since they all practically live in the same town. However, co-showrunner Peter Gould told THR that Walt and Jesse will not be seen in Season 1 as they want the show to "stand on its own."
Odenkirk gave a not-so helpful clue as to who it is, he said "Does it help if I say it's a bad guy? No it doesn't because everyone was a bad guy. Everyone in 'Breaking Bad' was a bad guy at some point."
Don't miss "Better Call Saul" on Feb. 8 and Feb. 9 only on AMC (for U.S. viewers). Here's the teaser for the premiere episode.
