'Better Call Saul' has landed its US release date, with the first episode broadcasting on AMC on February 8 and the second the following night.

The series will debut on Netflix UK and Ireland shortly thereafter, date to be confirmed.

Anticipation is high for the 'Breaking Bad' spin-off which will star Bob Odenkirk as laywer Saul Goodman in the years before he encountered Walter White.

Although the tone was initially expected to be comedic, reports suggest it will be more drama-based, much like 'Breaking Bad' itself.

To whet fans' appetites further, a new teaser trailer has been released in which the camera pans through a trashed motel room.

A lit cigarette rests in the ashtray and a woman's stilettos are strewn across the floor. The camera reaches the bedside table and reveals an advertisement for Saul's services ringed in red ink whilst police sirens wail outside.
