Better Call Saul will end with a sixth and final season. 

The Breaking Bad prequel series will officially come to an end after six seasons, showrunner Peter Gould and co-creator Vince Gilligan confirmed during the show’s Television Critics’ Association winter press tour panel on Thursday.

“From day one of Better Call Saul, my dream was to tell the complete story of our complicated and compromised hero, Jimmy McGill – now AMC and Sony are making that dream come true,” said Gould. “We couldn’t be more grateful to the fans and critics who are making this journey possible.  Next month we start work on the sixth and final season — we’re going to do our damnedest to stick the landing.”

Sarah Barnett, president of AMC Networks Entertainment Group and AMC Studios said in a statement: “Greenlighting a prequel to one of the most iconic series in television history is one of the boldest swings that AMC has ever taken. But, thanks to the creative genius of [co-creators] Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould, it has also been one of the most rewarding. It has been an absolute joy to collaborate with the extraordinarily talented team on Better Call Saul, which — five seasons in — continues to deliver some of the best storytelling and most beautifully nuanced performances on television today. We congratulate Vince, Peter, our producers, writers, and cast on a remarkable run and look forward to sharing this final chapter with fans.”

Season 5 of Better Call Saul premieres on February 23.

Peter Moffat and Michael B. Jordan team up for a new racial drama, 61st Street.

AMC announced that the new drama is currently being developed under its new script-to-series model during the cable network’s Television Critics Association’s winter press tour Saturday. 

According to Variety, the series, which is set in present-day Chicago, follows Moses Johnson, a promising high school athlete, who is swept up into the infamously corrupt Chicago criminal justice system. Taken by the police as a gang member, he soon finds himself in the eye of the storm as police and prosecutors seek revenge for the death of an officer during a drug bust gone wrong.

“Award-winning writer Peter Moffat’s 61st Street is a murder mystery, courtroom drama, and an examination of race in America wrapped up into one,” AMC programming president David Madden said. “Peter justly won acclaim for Criminal Justice, the British thriller which was remade by HBO as The Night Of, and in this case he’s partnered with extraordinary producers, the Outlier Society team of Michael B. Jordan and Alana Mayo. This is an emotional and audacious piece of drama that is as timely as television gets, and we are excited to put it into a writers’ room and see where the team takes it.”

Moffat will serve as showrunner, while Jordan will exec produce via his Outlier Society banner.

Season 10 of The Walking Dead is likely to be Danai Gurira’s last. 

The Hollywood Reporter was first to report that Gurira, who joined AMC’s zombie drama is Season 3, will most likely exit the show in Season 10. The outlet further reports that Gurira aka Michonne has signed a deal to return for her final season of the hit drama. Her return, however, will be in a limited capacity, starring in a handful of episodes throughout Season 10. 

Gurira’s exit will follow Andrew Lincoln and Lauren Cohan both left the series earlier in Season 9. Lincoln will, however, star in the series of The Walking Dead TV movies, productions that Gurira is likely to join. 

“It’s not the beginning of the end, it’s the end of the beginning,” said Lincoln in a statement at the time. “And I like the idea that we get to tell a bigger story, maybe with a sort of wider vista. And I’ve always been interested in what’s going on out there, you know, whether or not there is contact with the wider world. I want to know the meta of it all. And I suppose to be able to kind of touch upon that in a contained story for me is a very exciting proposition… Maybe it’s the start of a bigger story.”

Gurira’s other credits include last year’s Black Panther. She also a Tony-nominated playwright.

The Walking Dead returns Sunday on AMC.
