Yes, Better Call Saul season 5 — which aired back in February to April 2020, which feels like a lifetime ago — is finally coming to Netflix on April 4, 2022. Then, Better Call Saul season 6 debuts on April 18, two weeks later. Why the long wait? Well, this is actually pretty normal for Better Call Saul, which is one of the best shows on Netflix. Season 2 arrived on Netflix 14 days before season 3 began airing, and season 4 debuted 12 days before season 5 aired. Only season 3 had a wide gap before its subsequent season debuted, hitting Netflix 4+ months before season 4.

Analysis: Why didn’t AMC Plus get Better Call Saul season 5?
If the wait was based on AMC looking to optimize its own profits on Better Call Saul before the new season — the final batch for Bob Odenkirk’s show — debuts, then we have another question for them. Some audiences may be over the concept of buying seasons of TV shows a la carte from services, as subscription services have become the norm. We’re guessing that, unless AMC has been seeing strong historical figures from those direct purchases, the Netflix deal requires AMC to not put the series up on any streaming services beforehand.
