The Breaking Bad prequel Better Call Saul starring Bob Odenkirk will debut on AMC in November. The new series will focus on Saul Goodman (Odenkirk) in the years before he became Walter White’s lawyer.

AMC also revealed that Mad Men‘s final season’s first half will kick off on April 13, 2014 at 10pm ET/PT.

And AMC has set an April 6th at 9pm ET/PT time slot for the premiere of the new spy thriller Turn. The new drama takes place during the Revolutionary War and centers on the “untold story of America’s first spy ring.” Turn will premiere with a special 90-minute episode.

The network’s 1980s-set series Halt and Catch Fire will get a summer start, joining the network’s lineup in June. Per the official announcement, Halt and Catch Fire “captures the rise of the PC era in the early 1980s, during which an unlikely trio – a visionary, an engineer and a prodigy – take staggering personal and professional risks in the race to build a computer that will change the world.” Meanwhile, AMC says the critically acclaimed Western Hell on Wheels will be back for season four this summer.

The Walking Dead‘s current season is back with new episodes on Sunday, February 9th at 9pm ET/PT. Season five of the zombie apocalypse series will premiere in October.

The unscripted series Game of Arms debuts on February 25th at 10pm.

“We are extremely excited about the 2014 line-up,” said Charlie Collier, AMC President and General Manager. “Both the returning and new series reflect our commitment to serving passionate audiences with compelling, character-driven story-telling.”
