The cast and executive producers of AMC’s critically acclaimed Better Call Saul celebrated their trip to the San Diego Comic Con with the unveiling of a brand new season four trailer. They also shared the news with fans of Better Call Saul )and its predecessor Breaking Bad) that Lalo, a character that was referenced in Breaking Bad but never seen on screen, will appear in the upcoming new season.

Cast members taking the stage at the San Diego Comic Con included Bob Odenkirk, Giancarlo Esposito, Rhea Seehorn, Patrick Fabian, and Michael Mando. They were joined by executive producers and showrunners Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould for the show’s first-ever Comic Con panel.

In addition to the new trailer, AMC released the first photo of Tony Dalton as Lalo and announced Ira from Breaking Bad, played by Franc Ross, will put in an appearance in season four.

Season four will premiere on Monday, August 6, 2018 at 9pm ET/PT.

The Better Call Saul Season 4 Plot: In Better Call Saul’s fourth season, Chuck’s death catalyzes Jimmy McGill’s (Odenkirk) transformation into Saul Goodman. In the wake of his loss, Jimmy takes steps into the criminal world that will put his future as a lawyer – and his relationship with Kim (Rhea Seehorn) – in jeopardy. Chuck’s (Michael McKean) death deeply affects former colleagues Howard (Patrick Fabian) and Kim as well, putting the two of them once again on opposite sides of a battle sparked by the Brothers McGill.

Meanwhile, Mike Ehrmantraut takes a more active role as Madrigal Electromotive’s newest (and most thorough) security consultant. It’s a volatile time to be in Gus Fring’s employ, as Hector’s collapse sends shock waves throughout the Albuquerque underworld and throws the cartel into chaos — tearing apart both Gus and Nacho’s well-laid plans. While Gus changes course, Nacho finds himself in the crosshairs of deadly forces.
