Tonight, the Season 4 premiere of Better Call Saul is airing. Many fans are likely going to want to watch the premiere live, considering how the Season 3 finale ended. In fact, we aren’t even sure at this point if Jimmy’s brother Chuck is dead or alive. Read on for all the details on what time the premiere airs, what channel to watch, and more. WHAT DATE DOES BETTER CALL SAUL PREMIERE? Season 4 of Better Call Saul premieres tonight, Monday, August 6. BETTER CALL SAUL SEASON 4 PREMIERE TIME: Better Call Saul premieres tonight at 9 p.m. Eastern (8 p.m. Central.) But take note: the Season 4 premiere time is a little confusing, because the times are different depending on which source you look at. If you search, Google is saying that Better Call Saul is premiering at 9 p.m. Eastern, which is also reflected on AMC’s schedule here. However, if you look at AMC’s main page for Better Call Saul here it shows that the premiere starts at 10 p.m. Eastern (9 p.m. Central.) It appears that AMC’s main webpage for Better Call Saul, as shown above, is wrong. If you go to Lodge 49‘s page on AMC’s website, which is airing tonight immediately after Better Call Saul, that page also shows Lodge 49 airing tonight at 10/9c. Obviously both shows can’t be airing at the same time. TV Guide’s schedule also confirms that Better Call Saul is premiering at 9 p.m. Eastern (8 p.m. Central) and will be five minutes longer than normal. If you miss it, an encore of the premiere is going to air again after AMC’s new series Lodge 49. The encore of the Season 4 premiere will begin airing at 11:16 p.m. Eastern. BETTER CALL SAUL TV CHANNEL: Better Call Saul always airs on AMC. Check with your local TV provider (ie FIOS, Optimum, Time Warner, AT&T, Charter) to find out what channel AMC is on in your area. You can also click here to access the AMC channel finder and locate your local station’s channel number. HERE’S HOW SEASON 3 ENDED: Since it’s been awhile since Season 3 ended, you’ll likely need a refresher. Here’s what happened. Kim was just in a really bad wreck after she fell asleep at the wheel. Her arm is now in a cast and Jimmy has taken over as her caretaker, picking up her legal documents that were scattered in her wreck and trying to help Kim become healthier. Meanwhile, Howard offers Chuck a $3 million check from his personal account — the first of three — to buy Chuck out of the law firm HHM. Howard then brings Chuck in front of the entire firm and announces that he’s leaving immediately. Jimmy finds out and unable to shake the hold that Chuck has on him, despite what Chuck had done, he goes to Chuck’s house to check on his brother. Chuck seems fine. The lights are on and he’s listening to music, seemingly unaffected by his electricity allergy. Chuck tells Jimmy that all he does is hurt people, and he never really cared for Jimmy. But Chuck doesn’t really have it all together like he’s pretending. He runs downstairs late that night and turns off every switch in the fuse box. That’s not enough; he feels there’s still power in the house. He tears apart his house, even taking a crowbar to parts of it, and ultimately bashes the meter with a baseball bat. Nacho, meanwhile, is watching Hector Salamanca at his dad’s upholstery shop. Gus Fring is at the meeting, along with Juan Bolsa, reminding Hector that he’s not the one in charge. Hector passed out in front of the, grasping for his pills. Gus does CPR on Hector, saving his life. Jimmy is feeling bad about what he did to Irene Landry at the retirement community, but he can’t get her friends to accept her back. He does whatever he must to get Irene and her friends back together, but it causes them to undo the settlement and no longer trust Jimmy. That’s the end of Jimmy’s business. He and Kim pack up the office, and Jimmy comments that he’ll need a new business model whenever he gets his license back. Then at the end, we see Chuck sitting in a destroyed room, wrapped in Mylar, with a lantern on a pile of rubbish. He kicks the pile a bunch of times until the lantern topples and everything is set on fire around him.<doc-sep>(CNN) — “Better Call Saul” is TV’s version of a Russian nesting doll, slowly adding layers to the “Breaking Bad” prequel, inching toward its logical expiration date. As the new season demonstrates, the AMC show has grown richer in the process, even if the pacing at times remains a trifle sluggish. It has taken the producers almost 14 months since Season 3 ended to cook up a new batch of episodes, but they reward the audience’s patience by picking up where season three left off, with a major development that is seemingly hastening the descent of Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk) from well-meaning, morally lax striver to sleazy, wholly corrupt drug lawyer. At the same time, the series is operating on multiple tracks – not just the parallel path of former cop Mike (Jonathan Banks), but also the arcs of drug dealer Nacho (Michael Mando) and drug kingpin Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito), whose arrival gave the show a shot of adrenaline, even if “Saul” is taking its time, as usual, in chronicling how Gus built his empire. Last, but not least, there’s Kim (Rhea Seehorn), the straight-laced attorney whose soft spot for Jimmy has revealed unexpected sides to her personality, who begins to see him in a different light as the season progresses. Kim has always felt like the fulcrum on which “Saul” bends, to the extent that alienating her – or however she exits Jimmy’s life – will essentially complete his transformation into Saul Goodman. That has added depth and poignance not just to their relationship, but to every good deed that Jimmy does, realizing he’s eventually going to end up sweating through those tense black-and-white flash-forwards that kick off each season. It’s something of a common refrain (at least from this critic) that “Better Call Saul” can’t be sustained indefinitely without running out of narrative real estate. For now, though, the series – already renewed for a fifth year – has exceeded expectations, with creators Vince Gilligan, Peter Gould and their team tapping into the reservoir of dark humor, surprising twists and visual storytelling that made “Breaking Bad” so compelling, albeit without rising to that level. The show remains a signature franchise for AMC, so much so that the network is pairing its return with a new drama, “Lodge 49,” a series about a directionless surfer who stumbles onto a strange fraternal order that may hold the clue to putting his life back on track. The show strives to be whimsical but feels so weightless there’s little incentive to stick around long enough to find out – an unwitting endorsement, in a way, of the fine line that “Better Call Saul” navigates. Granted, the first three episodes don’t provide much of a road map for where this season is heading, but they do set up a number of juicy possibilities. And if “Better Call Saul” viewers have learned anything, it’s not to fret too much about where – and when – the show will wind up, but rather to sit back and say, “It’s all good, man.” “Better Call Saul” premieres Aug. 6 at 9 p.m. on AMC.<doc-sep>
Better Call Saul season 4 Better Call Saul teaser: Saul struggles to give personal details WARNING: This article contains spoilers for Better Call Saul season 3 What time will Better Call Saul season 4 be on Netflix? The hugely anticipated fourth season of Better Call Saul returned earlier this month. Episode four is on next and will air on AMC in the US on Monday, August 27. As with previous seasons, episodes will then be added to Netflix in the UK and Ireland a day later. So season four, episode four will be added on Tuesday, August 28. BETTER CALL SAUL SEASON 5 RELEASE DATE New episodes will be added to the streaming site every Tuesday and they will be available from 8am. Shows are typically released on to the site at 12.01am Pacific Standard Time - this is because Netflix is headquartered in San Fransisco. Viewers watching from the UK and Ireland will be able to tune in from 8am BST on Tuesday morning. The streaming platform does this with a number of shows including Riverdale and Suits, which are available the next day in the UK. Sadly, binge-watchers are going to have to be patient with episodes of the Breaking Bad spin-off dropping on a weekly basis rather than a mass drop. There will be 10 episodes in total this season. BETTER CALL SAUL SEASON 3 RECAP Better Call Saul season 4 What is the plot of Better Call Saul season 4? AMC released a new synopsis for season four ahead of the release. It reads: “In season four, Chuck’s (played by Michael McKean) death catalyses Jimmy’s transformation into Saul Goodman as he takes steps into the criminal world that will put his future as a lawyer — and his relationship with Kim (Rhea Seahorn) — in jeopardy. “Meanwhile, Mike Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks) takes a more active role as Madrigal Electromotive’s newest (and most thorough) security consultant. “And it’s a volatile time to be in Gus Fring’s (Giancarlo Esposito) employ, as Hector’s (Marc Margolis) collapse tears apart both Gus and Nacho’s (Michael Varga) well-laid plans.” HOW WILL CHUCK'S DEATH AFFECT JIMMY? Better Call Saul is back this week Kim and Jimmy in season 4 Will there be another season of Better Call Saul? Yes - fans were delighted to hear that Better Call Saul has been renewed for a fifth season by AMC. The news came just days before season four is due to premiere. The announcement was made at the Television Critics Association summer press tour last week. So fans can look forward to a lot more of Bob Odenkirk’s transformation from Jimmy McGill to Saul Goodman.
