Better Call Saul will be kicking off its fourth season in a week, but that’s not the only newsworthy of celebration. AMC just confirmed the hit Breaking Bad prequel will return for Season 5, as well!

The most exciting part of this newly announced decision isn’t just the fact we’ll finally get to see Jimmy McGill’s transformation into Saul Goodman. It’s also the fact it may include a long-awaited Breaking Bad crossover. Vince Gilligan even hinted two shows may overlap in Season 4.

“We have a subplot that very squarely gets into Breaking Bad territory and brings us into the world – or at least points us on a path toward the world of Walter White and the territory of Walter White. I can’t wait for folks to see that,” said Gilligan during an interview with Entertainment Weekly.

In addition to Better Call Saul, AMC also renewed their drama series Fear the Walking Dead and McMafia. David Madden, president of original programming for AMC, said they’re proud to bring them back because the viewers returned to these characters and stories season after season.

“It’s a privilege to continue collaborating with and sharing the vision of the talented creatives behind these series, and we’re excited to start exploring the next chapter in the lives of these unique and complex characters,” said Madden.
