Netflix Inc. and Sony Pictures Television report that "Better Call Saul," the spin-off of "Breaking Bad," will be available exclusively to streaming members in Europe and Latin America shortly after its airing in the US in 2014.
In the US and Canada , the complete first season of "Saul" will be available to Netflix members after its season finale on AMC Networks. The deal makes Netflix the exclusive subscription television service in all its territories for "Saul," as it is in certain territories for the recently concluded "Breaking Bad."
Starring Bob Odenkirk and co-created and executive produced by "Breaking Bad" creator Vince Gilligan, "Better Call Saul" tells the story of mall-based Irish super lawyer 'Saul Goodman' in the years before he became the attorney for 'Walter White'. From parking tickets to murder, from slip-and-fall to bond fraud, Saul handles it all.
"'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."
"Why not shoot 'Saul' in the same way?'" said creator Gilligan. "Let’s shoot it in Albuquerque, let’s get as much of the crew back together as possible, and let’s do it the way we did it before so that it will be of a piece with that pre-existing fictional universe that we had so much fun creating..."
