The sixth and final season of the [[AMC (TV channel)|AMC]] television series ''[[Better Call Saul]]'' premiered on April 18, 2022, in the United States, and concluded on August 15, 2022. The thirteen-episode season was broadcast on Mondays at 9:00{{nbsp}}pm ([[Eastern Time Zone|Eastern]]) in the United States on AMC and its streaming service [[AMC+]]. Each episode was released on [[Netflix]] the day after in certain international markets. The season was split into two parts; the first consisting of the first seven episodes concluded on May 23, before resuming with the second half consisting of the final six episodes on July 11. [[Bob Odenkirk]], [[Jonathan Banks]], [[Rhea Seehorn]], [[Patrick Fabian]], [[Michael Mando]], [[Tony Dalton]], and [[Giancarlo Esposito]] reprise their roles from previous seasons. ''Better Call Saul'' is a [[Spin-off (media)|spin-off]], [[prequel]] and [[sequel]] of ''[[Breaking Bad]]'' created by [[Vince Gilligan]] and [[Peter Gould]].

The first nine episodes mainly take place in [[Albuquerque, New Mexico]] in 2004, four years before [[Jimmy McGill]] (Odenkirk) begins his association with [[Methamphetamine|meth]] cooks [[Walter White (Breaking Bad)|Walter White]] ([[Bryan Cranston]]) and [[Jesse Pinkman]] ([[Aaron Paul]]). The season shows the further evolution of Jimmy into the eponymous character, criminal defense lawyer "[[Saul Goodman]]", as he and his wife [[Kim Wexler]] (Seehorn) execute their plan to force a resolution of the Sandpiper case by ruining the career of [[Howard Hamlin]] (Fabian). Simultaneously, it depicts [[Lalo Salamanca]] (Dalton) seeking to expose [[Gus Fring]]'s (Esposito) disloyalty to the drug cartel. The remaining episodes mainly take place in 2010, after the events of ''Breaking Bad'', and show Saul living in [[Omaha, Nebraska]] under the alias "Gene Takavic", hiding from the authorities after Walter's demise.  

The sixth season was filmed in Albuquerque over a period of eleven months. Many of its delays were due to the COVID-19 pandemic and Odenkirk's [[#Odenkirk's on-set collapse|on-set heart attack]]. Upon release, it received universal acclaim from critics, particularly for its performances, writing, visuals, emotional weight, and similarity to ''Breaking Bad''. The first half received four nominations at the [[74th Primetime Emmy Awards]], including [[Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series|Outstanding Drama Series]]. The second half received five nominations for the [[75th Primetime Emmy Awards]], including Outstanding Drama Series, Odenkirk's sixth nomination for [[Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series|Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series]] and Seehorn's second nomination for [[Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series|Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series]].

=== Development ===
In January 2020, [[AMC (TV channel)|AMC]] renewed ''[[Better Call Saul]]'' for a sixth and final season. Showrunner [[Peter Gould]] and AMC representatives confirmed it would consist of 13 episodes,<ref name="FinalSeason" /> higher than the usual 10.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Evangelista |first=Chris |date=April 23, 2020 |title=''Better Call Saul'' Season 6 Might Arrive Next Year, Will Wrap Up the Series With 13 Episodes |url=https://www.slashfilm.com/better-call-saul-season-6-update/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200511130803/https://www.slashfilm.com/better-call-saul-season-6-update/ |archive-date=May 11, 2020 |access-date=November 10, 2020 |website=[[/Film]]}}</ref> This brought the series' total episode count to 63, one more than its predecessor ''[[Breaking Bad]]''. Gould stated, "From the beginning when we started this, I think all our hopes and dreams were to be able to tell the whole story{{nbsp}}... and make it to be a complete story from beginning to end{{nbsp}}... We're going to try like hell to stick the landing of these 63 episodes."<ref name="FinalSeason" /> [[Giancarlo Esposito]] had previously speculated in April 2019 that the series would end with a sixth season because it was the "comfortable way" to do so, similar to how ''Breaking Bad''{{'s}} [[Breaking Bad (season 5)|fifth and final season]] was split into two halves, giving the feeling that the latter half was the sixth season.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Darwish |first=Meaghan |date=April 23, 2019 |title=Is ''Better Call Saul'' Ending With Season 6? |url=https://www.tvinsider.com/770828/better-call-saul-ending-season-6-giancarlo-esposito/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201109054500/https://www.tvinsider.com/770828/better-call-saul-ending-season-6-giancarlo-esposito/ |archive-date=November 9, 2020 |access-date=November 9, 2020 |website=[[TV Insider]]}}</ref> Gould said he initially doubted how he could do 13 episodes because the 10-episode count of previous seasons proved physically exhausting for him, but executive producer and writer [[Thomas Schnauz]] convinced him to go for 13, saying, "You'll know it's the last 13 so you'll see the barn in the distance.

 | ShortSummary    = In a flashforward, police seize personal property from Saul's mansion, including his white [[Cadillac]]. As a cabinet is loaded onto a truck, a drawer opens and Kim's souvenir tequila bottle stopper falls out and onto the ground. In 2004, Gus arranges for Nacho to hide at a motel. Juan Bolsa tells Gus that Nacho aided in killing Lalo and that the cartel has placed a bounty on him. Jimmy and Kim begin their plan to force a resolution of the Sandpiper case by discrediting Howard. Kim surveils Howard and Cliff Main during a round of golf, while Jimmy sneaks into the club locker room to plant a bag of fake cocaine in Howard's locker. Lalo arrives at the home of his tenants Sylvia and Mateo, kills them, and moves Mateo's body to his home to be identified as his own. Lalo calls Hector and lets him know he is alive and that he believes Gus orchestrated the attack. Hector advises him to find proof. Lalo realizes the evidence is not in the United States and abandons his plan to sneak across the border.

 | ShortSummary    = Gus's men replace Nacho's safe with a duplicate, into which Mike places Nacho's cash and fake Canadian ID along with an envelope. Gus and Bolsa promise Hector they will avenge Lalo, but Hector's demeanor convinces Gus that Lalo survived. Bolsa breaks into the duplicate safe and finds the envelope, which contains details of an [[offshore bank]] account as well as the motel's phone number. The Cousins arrive to capture Nacho, but he escapes after a shootout. Gus orders Nacho's father, Manuel, taken hostage to force Nacho to give up his location; Mike refuses, prompting a standoff with Gus and Tyrus. Nacho calls Mike asking to speak to Gus. Jimmy meets the Kettlemans at their fraudulent tax preparation service and cons them into believing they have grounds for a lawsuit against Howard. They reject his services and instead ask Cliff Main to sue for ineffective counsel over Howard's alleged cocaine usage during Craig's embezzlement case, but he refuses. Jimmy unsuccessfully tries to bribe the Kettlemans into silence, but Kim coerces them by threatening to reveal their scam to the IRS. They leave, with an unknown person following them.

 | ShortSummary    = Nacho's truck is damaged in the firefight with the Cousins, forcing him to hide. The next day, he contacts his father to say farewell, then calls Gus and offers to surrender if his father is protected. Jimmy and Kim plot to obtain a duplicate of Howard's car but realize obtaining access to his car is more feasible. With Lalo's alias exposed, prosecutor [[Suzanne Ericsen]] connects Jimmy to Lalo and asks Kim to persuade Jimmy to reveal information about him. Gus arranges for Nacho to be smuggled into the U.S., after which Nacho and Mike go over Nacho's part in Gus's plan to absolve Gus for Lalo's death. Jimmy and Kim work with Huell to obtain duplicates of Howard's car key and remote unlock button. Mike takes a firing position with his rifle so he can observe Nacho's confession to Hector and the Cousins. Nacho falsely claims he tried to kill Lalo for the Alvarez drug family, and bolsters his credibility by admitting his previous attempt to kill Hector. Rather than avoiding torture by having Victor kill him in a fake escape attempt, Nacho uses a piece of broken glass to cut his restraints, then kills himself with Bolsa's gun.

 | ShortSummary    = Kim meets with Cliff Main while Jimmy, disguised as Howard, takes his car. He picks up Wendy from a motel, then pretends to force her out of the car while driving past Kim and Cliff, making it appear as if Howard is using prostitutes. While dropping off Wendy, Kim notices a car following her. Jimmy discovers that defending Lalo has made him disliked among his colleagues, but improved his reputation with local criminals, who now seek his representation. After being evicted from the nail salon, Jimmy scouts out a new office. While meeting a ''[[pro bono]]'' client, Kim spots the same car following her and confronts the driver. Mike reveals that the people following her work for him, and tells her Lalo is alive and monitoring anyone he may be in contact with. Kim meets with Jimmy at the potential location of his new office and approves of it, but does not reveal her conversation with Mike. Gus uses a neighboring home connected to his via tunnels as an operations center, where teams under Mike's supervision surveil Albuquerque for signs of Lalo.

 | ShortSummary    = Kim and Gus both remain paranoid about Lalo. Jimmy rehires Francesca as his assistant. Viola tells Kim that Rand Casimiro will mediate the Sandpiper case. Howard persuades the Sandpiper clients not to settle. Cliff confronts Howard about his apparent cocaine and prostitution habits, and Howard realizes Jimmy is sabotaging him. Howard challenges Jimmy to a boxing match, which he wins. He tells Jimmy he hopes this ends their dispute, but later asks a private investigator to watch Jimmy. Gus hides a handgun on an excavator at the site of his planned meth lab. Using an alias, Lalo tracks down Werner Ziegler's widow Margarethe at a bar in Germany and obtains information about Werner. The next morning, Lalo breaks into Margarethe's home and finds a gift from Werner's construction crew. Margarethe returns home unexpectedly, but Lalo succeeds in escaping unseen.

 | ShortSummary    = Howard's PI reports that Jimmy and Kim are keeping a regular routine, except for a recent cash withdrawal. Jimmy and Kim procure a drug from Dr. Caldera for use in their scheme against Howard. Caldera tells them he is retiring from crime and shows them his encrypted book of criminal contacts. Jimmy and his camera crew photograph an actor impersonating Casimiro. Cliff invites Kim to [[Santa Fe, New Mexico|Santa Fe]] to meet representatives of a foundation that finances projects similar to her ''pro bono'' criminal defense work, which takes place the same day she and Jimmy execute their plan against Howard. Jimmy encourages her to go, but later spots Casimiro, whose arm is broken, something not depicted in their photos. He alerts Kim, she cancels her Santa Fe plans and returns to Albuquerque. The maker's label on the gift Werner's crew gave Margarethe enables Lalo to find Casper; Lalo gains the upper hand in the ensuing struggle and interrogates Casper about Werner's project.

 | ShortSummary    = On the day of the Sandpiper settlement conference, Jimmy and Kim hastily reshoot their photos with the actor impersonating Casimiro, then pass them to Howard's private investigator, who is actually working for them. Howard ingests Caldera's drug upon contact with the photos and embarrasses himself at the conference by appearing manic and accusing Casimiro of accepting a bribe. Howard and Cliff are forced to settle the Sandpiper case for less than they wanted. Lalo surveils Gus's laundry to learn about the construction of the hidden [[meth lab]]. Realizing Gus is monitoring Hector's calls, Lalo tells Hector he will attack Gus that night. Mike alerts Gus and redirects his security teams to protect Gus, leaving Kim and Jimmy's apartment unprotected. Howard deduces that Jimmy and Kim plotted his character assassination and confronts them at their apartment. Lalo arrives soon afterward. Kim urges Howard to leave, but Lalo kills him with a gunshot to his head.

 | ShortSummary    = Lalo gives Jimmy an address, then orders Jimmy to go there and shoot the occupant, whose description matches Gus. Jimmy convinces Lalo to send Kim, after which Lalo leaves Jimmy tied to a chair. Mike intercepts Kim at Gus's front door. When she explains that Lalo is alive, Mike orders his men to her apartment. Gus realizes that sending Kim to his house was a diversion and drives to the laundry. Lalo ambushes Gus and kills his bodyguards, then forces Gus to show him the lab while he videotapes it so he will have evidence of Gus's disloyalty to show Don Eladio. Gus triggers a power outage and kills Lalo with the handgun he previously hid. Mike and his men remove Howard's body from Jimmy and Kim's apartment and stage his death to look like a suicide. Mike advises them to adhere to their story that Howard was a cocaine addict. Mike then supervises the burial of Howard and Lalo's bodies in Gus's underground lab.

 | ShortSummary    = Gus convinces the cartel that despite Hector's accusations, he was not responsible for Lalo's death. As a consolation, Eladio grants the Salamancas the [[South Valley, New Mexico|South Valley]] drug territory while giving Gus the area north of it. Gus goes to a wine bar and converses with his favorite [[sommelier]] but cuts the outing short and orders construction on the lab to resume. Mike visits Manuel Varga to inform him of Nacho's death and tells Manuel he will get justice for Nacho. Manuel dismissively tells Mike he is no different from his criminal associates. At Howard's memorial service, Jimmy and Kim learn that HHM is [[Layoff|downsizing]] and changing its name, and Kim lies to Howard's widow Cheryl about his alleged cocaine addiction. The next day, a remorseful Kim relinquishes her law license and separates from Jimmy, telling him that even though she loves him, they are bad for each other. Jimmy later fully embraces his Saul Goodman persona, living in a mansion and driving a [[Cadillac DeVille]], and remodeling his office into the tacky style in which it appears in ''[[Breaking Bad]]''.

 | ShortSummary    = In [[Omaha, Nebraska|Omaha]] in 2010, Jimmy, now using his Gene Takavic alias, "befriends" Marion (that is, he ingratiates himself with her, with a future scam in mind).

He trains Jeff and his partner Buddy for roles in the robbery of a department store at the mall where Gene works. He distracts the mall's security guards with cinnamon rolls and small talk so Jeff can steal expensive merchandise without being observed. During the heist, Jeff falls and knocks himself unconscious; Gene gains him extra time by feigning an emotional breakdown to hold the guard's attention. They get away with thousands of dollars in stolen goods, but Gene warns Jeff and Buddy to avoid him in the future, threatening to turn them in to the authorities if they should cause him to be arrested. Energized by the robbery's success, Gene finds a Goodman-style shirt in the department store, but wistfully leaves without purchasing it.

Mike informs Saul that Walt has terminal lung cancer and cautions Saul against helping him, but Saul decides to visit Walt in his high school classroom to propose a partnership. In 2010, Gene makes a prearranged call to Francesca, who tells him that the [[FBI]] has seized most of his assets and that Kim asked about him. Gene attempts to reach Kim in Florida, but the call upsets him. Gene then enlists Jeff and Buddy for a new con, in which Gene gets a wealthy single male victim drunk, Jeff drives him home while giving him water laced with [[barbiturates]], and Buddy enters his home to photograph IDs, credit cards, and financial records to sell to identity thieves. After a string of successful thefts, their latest target reveals he has cancer, causing Buddy to back out; Gene fires him and has Jeff drive him to the man's home so he can break in himself.

In 2010, she is at her job with a Florida sprinkler manufacturer when she receives a call from Gene. She asks him to turn himself in and hangs up when he refuses. Guilt-stricken, she travels to Albuquerque and gives Howard's wife, Cheryl, a copy of an [[affidavit]] she provided to the district attorney, which lays out the plan to destroy Howard's reputation and the circumstances of his death. Afterward, she has an emotional breakdown on the airport shuttle bus. Gene's mark wakes up unexpectedly and Gene makes a narrow escape. As Jeff waits for Gene, a police car idles behind him, causing Jeff to panic and run into the car in front of him. Jeff is arrested and Gene enlists Marion to help get Jeff released on bail. A suspicious Marion uses the new computer Jeff bought her to find Gene's true identity, then alerts the authorities via her [[Life Alert]] button, which forces Gene to flee.

 | ShortSummary    = In separate flashbacks, Saul asks Mike and Walter about their regrets, then describes his; they each express disdain for the shallowness of his responses. In another flashback, [[Chuck McGill|Chuck]] expresses interest in Jimmy's legal practice and says it is not too late for Jimmy to change his path; Jimmy assumes Chuck is criticizing him and ends the conversation. In 2010, Gene is arrested, then enlists Bill Oakley as his counsel. They negotiate a plea deal that calls for only seven years in prison. Jimmy attempts to further reduce his sentence by offering to reveal details of Howard's death, only to learn that Kim has already done so. As Jimmy is extradited to Albuquerque, he claims to have testimony that will implicate Kim. At his sentencing, he admits he lied about Kim to ensure she would be present, then admits responsibility for Chuck's suicide, as well as his full involvement in Walt's drug empire, which results in an 86-year sentence. In prison, Jimmy is recognized as Saul and enjoys notoriety among his fellow inmates. Kim visits him and they share a cigarette. As she leaves, Jimmy makes their signature finger-gun gesture.

The sixth season of ''Better Call Saul'' has received universal acclaim. On [[Rotten Tomatoes]], the season has an approval rating of 99% based on 179 reviews, with an average rating of 9.4/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "''Better Call Saul'' remains as masterfully in control as Jimmy McGill keeps insisting he is in this final season, where years of simmering storytelling come to a scintillating boil."<ref name="RTS6">{{Cite Rotten Tomatoes |id=better_call_saul |type=tv |season=6 |title=Better Call Saul |access-date=January 24, 2023}}</ref>

After the airing of the series finale, Stuart Jeffries of ''[[The Guardian]]'' said that the series had surprisingly surpassed its predecessor in quality, saying: "Over six series, ''Better Call Saul'' evolved into a more profound and beautiful drama about human corruption than its predecessor.

[[David Segal (reporter)|David Segal]] of ''[[The New York Times]]'' described the first episode as "strong, twisty and gripping" and said the writing "must be hailed as a masterly curtain raiser, one that managed to pick up the story right where it was left, two years ago, and hurl it forward at a promising pace." Segal criticized Kim's con against Howard at the country club, calling it "dimmer and daffier than the rest of the show" and "pointlessly cruel".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Segal |first=David |author-link=David Segal (reporter) |date=April 18, 2022 |title=''Better Call Saul'' Recap, Season 6 Premiere: Run Nacho, Run |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/18/arts/television/better-call-saul-season-6-episode-1-recap.html |url-access=limited |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220420001606/https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/18/arts/television/better-call-saul-season-6-episode-1-recap.html |archive-date=April 20, 2022 |access-date=November 7, 2022 |website=[[The New York Times]]}}</ref> Reviewing both "Wine and Roses" and "Carrot and Stick" together, ''[[The A.V.

=== ''Slippin' Jimmy'' ===
{{Main|Slippin' Jimmy}}
''Variety'' reported in March 2021 that AMC was developing an animated spinoff series, ''Slippin' Jimmy''.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Steinberg |first=Brian |date=March 19, 2021 |title=AMC Networks Touts ''Dead'', ''Saul'' Finales, ''Slippin' Jimmy'' in Upfront Talks |url=https://variety.com/2021/tv/news/amc-networks-tv-upfront-walking-dead-better-call-saul-finale-1234934360/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210320173044/https://variety.com/2021/tv/news/amc-networks-tv-upfront-walking-dead-better-call-saul-finale-1234934360/ |archive-date=March 20, 2021 |website=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]] |access-date=March 21, 2021}}</ref> The series was later revealed as a short-form series; a six-part animated series to be released online during the sixth season of ''Better Call Saul''. Each episode is inspired by a specific film genre&nbsp;— from [[spaghetti Western]]s and [[Buster Keaton]] to ''[[The Exorcist (film)|The Exorcist]]''. The series was produced by ''[[Rick and Morty]]'' animators Starburns and written by ''Better Call Saul'' writers Ariel Levine and Kathleen Williams-Foshee. Voice actors include [[Chi McBride]], [[Laraine Newman]], and [[Sean Giambrone]] as Jimmy.<ref name="season6" /> Six episodes of ''Slippin' Jimmy'', each around 8–9 minutes in length, were released on [[AMC+]] on May 23, 2022.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Darwish |first=Meaghan |date=May 23, 2022 |title=Our Prehistoric Planet, 'Saul' Midseason finale and Animated 'Slippin' Jimmy,' 'NCIS' and More Season Finales |url=https://www.tvinsider.com/1045418/prehistoric-planet-saul-ncis-neighborhood/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220524160654/https://www.tvinsider.com/1045418/prehistoric-planet-saul-ncis-neighborhood/ |archive-date=May 24, 2022 |access-date=May 24, 2022 |website=[[TV Insider]]}}</ref> 

The series received negative reviews from fans and critics for its stark drop in quality compared to its predecessors. Mark Donaldson from ''[[Screen Rant]]'' criticized the concept, saying "the animated spinoff is being sold as a digital exclusive but this race to provide sellable content to audiences undermines storytelling ... the team behind both ''[[Breaking Bad]]'' and ''[[Better Call Saul]]'' have proven themselves to be savvy storytellers that respect the journeys of their characters over cheap cash-ins. It's this integrity that makes ''Slippin{{'}} Jimmy'' feel like such a misstep."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Donaldson |first=Mark |title=Better Call Saul: Slippin' Jimmy Is A Breaking Bad Spinoff Too Far |url=https://screenrant.com/better-call-saul-slippin-jimmy-animated-breaking-bad-spinoff/ |date=February 14, 2022 |access-date=September 20, 2022 |website=[[Screen Rant]] |language=en-US}}</ref>
