Better Call Saul star Bob Odenkirk has teased that the show's fifth season is going to be "f**king awesome".

The show's season 4 finale revealed that the transformation of his character Jimmy McGill into Breaking Bad's Saul Goodman is imminent and, according to Odenkirk, things are going to become even more mind-blowing in season 5.

Speaking about the season to Deadline, the actor said: "It’s the best season we’ve ever done, it’s going to blow your mind, and I’m not kidding about either of those things.

"It’s f**king awesome. I can’t wait for people to see it. It’s just shattering in every direction, and I love it."



Previously, Odenkirk spoke about the show's slow-burn style of storytelling and admitted he'd been worried it would put viewers off sticking around.

"The audience really impressed the hell out of me," he said. "But I do think that it was all because of Breaking Bad and not just because of the success of Breaking Bad, but because people who watched Breaking Bad knew that every detail matters, the eye floating in the water, it means something.

"And so by getting a large audience to watch on that level, then when Better Call Saul started, they immediately were hooked into watching closely and not worrying about it getting somewhere but trusting that it would."

Better Call Saul season 5 will premiere in 2020. It airs on AMC in the US and Netflix in the UK.
