AMC’s Breaking Bad prequel Better Call Saul has nabbed a two-night premiere. Episode one will air on Sunday, February 8, 2015 at 10pm ET/PT and episode two will follow on Monday, February 9th. After the two-night event, Better Call Saul will air on Mondays at 10pm for the rest of the season.

The first season will be made up of 10 episodes while season two has an expanded order of 13 episodes.

The Plot:

This highly-anticipated prequel to Breaking Bad is set six years before Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) became Walter White’s lawyer. Known then as Jimmy McGill, he was a small-time lawyer, searching for his destiny and hustling to make ends meet. The series will track Jimmy’s evolution into Saul, Albuquerque’s top criminal (criminal) lawyer.

Working alongside, and often against, Jimmy is another familiar face from Breaking Bad: “fixer” Mike Erhmantraut (Jonathan Banks). The series also stars Michael McKean as Chuck McGill, Rhea Seehorn as Kim Wexler, Patrick Fabian as Howard Hamlin, and Michael Mando as Nacho Varga.
