Netflix and Sony Pictures Television will be bringing the Breaking Bad spin-off Better Call Saul to Netflix’s Europe and Latin American subscribers in 2014, “shortly” after it airs in the U.S. The new series starring Bob Odenkirk as Saul Goodman will be available to Netflix’s North American customers after the season one finale airs on AMC.
“Breaking Bad is widely recognized as one of the great TV experiences in this new golden age of television,” said Ted Sarandos, Netflix Chief Content Officer. “It has also proven very popular with Netflix subscribers around the world. This spin-off promises to continue its tradition of powerful storytelling. We are proud to be in business with Sony Pictures Television to bring Saul Goodman to our subscribers around the world.”
“Coming off of the overwhelming success of Breaking Bad, we’re excited to continue our collaboration with Vince, as well as Peter Gould, and that fans around the world will be able to embrace ‘Saul,'” added Steve Mosko, President of Sony Pictures Television.
The Plot:
Starring Bob Odenkirk and co-created and executive produced by Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan, Better Call Saul tells the story of mall-based super lawyer Saul Goodman in the years before he became Walter White’s attorney. From parking tickets to mass murder, from slip-and-fall to bond fraud, Saul handles it all.
