Stories from the set

Saul's yellow car is a Suzuki Cultus Crescent sedan, produced from 1995 to 1998. It is known as the Suzuki Esteem in the US and as the Suzuki Baleno in Europe, Asia, and Australia.

In the early stages of production, the series was planned as a 30-minute comedy, but ultimately it was decided to change it to an hour-long format.

The first episode of "Better Call Saul" drew an audience of 6.9 million viewers. In the entire history of the AMC channel, only the first episode of the television series "Fear the Walking Dead" (2015) has drawn a larger audience (10.1 million viewers).

The AMC channel announced in June 2014 that the series had been renewed for a second season, more than 7 months before the premiere of the pilot episode.

The series is set in 2002, 6 years before the events of the series "Breaking Bad" (2008-2013) and 7 years before Saul's first appearance.

On his car keys, Jimmy McGill carries a keychain remarkably similar to Walter White's keychain in the «Felina» episode of «Breaking Bad» (2008-2013).

The presentation style of the opening credits differs in every episode.

The series «Breaking Bad» (2008-2013) was shot on 35 mm film, while its prequel «Better Call Saul» was shot on 4K digital cameras.

Aaron Paul stated that he had discussed his involvement in the series with its creator and executive producer Vince Gilligan, but later told the online publication «The Huffington Post» that he would not appear in the series after all.

The action of the black-and-white prologue to the episode «Uno» unfolds in the state of Nebraska. In 2013, Alexander Payne's black-and-white tragicomedy «Nebraska», starring Bob Odenkirk, was released.
