AMC Renews Talking Dead; Announces Premiere Dates for `Better Call Saul' and `Mad Men'

Better Call Saul Spoilers: AMC announced this week that the "Breaking Bad" spinoff, "Better Call Saul," will premiere in November 2014, but no specific date has been released. The network also announced that it renewed "Talking Dead" for a fifth season. The first episode of the final season of "Mad Men" premieres on Sunday, April 13, at 10 p.m. EST. 

"Better Call Saul" premieres on AMC in November. Breaking Bad" followed former high school teacher Walter White, played by Bryan Cranston, as he joined with former student Jesse Pinkman, played by Aaron Paul, to methamphetamine to pay for his cancer treatment. Bob Odenkirk played their attorney, Saul Goodman, who helped them come up with money laundering schemes.

There has been no official date set for "Better Call Saul." If you want that, you'd better call Saul. Walter White's lawyer is returning to Albuquerque. The last we saw Saul, he was on a one-way trip to anonymity. Well, a guy like Saul can't stay anonymous forever. The Breaking Bad spinoff, Better Call Caul, will explain how he got that way. Now, if we could only get Aaron Paul to call.

"Breaking Bad" ended last year on a high note. It  followed former high school teacher Walter White (Bryan Cranston) as he deals with a cancer diagnosis and makes methamphetamine to pay for his therapy. He gets his former student, Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) to sell it. Together they build an empire. "Breaking Bad" was filmed in Albuquerque

AMC created a website for the fictional lawyer Saul Goodman. It includes ads and testimonies on how Saul get anyone out of legal trouble. The testimony comes from a drug dealer and prostitute. The website also features ads from Los Pollos Hermanos, the fast-food chicken restaurant that drug lord Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito) used as a front.

The courageous network, AMC, also announced that "Mad Men" is entering its final season, but then suggested viewers 'Better Call Saul' to get the premiere dates.

We called Saul. AMC announced that the prequel to "Breaking Bad," "Better Call Saul" will premiere in November 2014. The Breaking Bad spinoff centers on Saul Goodman, played by Bob Odenkirk. Saul Goodman is a criminal lawyer who's not so far from being a criminal himself. The series tells about Saul before he got involved with Walter White and his multimillion dollar meth empire.

AMC released a slew of 2014 premiere dates. They said the first half of the final season of their acclaimed period drama "Mad Men" will premiere on Sunday, April 13 at 10 p.m. AMC's going to milk that one, spreading 14 episodes out over two years. That worked when they were spinning towards the end of Breaking Bad, which set records last year. AMC also premieres its new Revolutionary War spy thriller "Turn" on April 6, the same night "Game of Thrones" premieres on HBO.  In "Turn," Jamie Bell plays is a spy for General George Washington, he used to farm cabbage.

In a statement, AMC President and General Manager Charlie Collier said "We are extremely excited about the 2014 lineup. Both the returning and new series reflect our commitment to serving passionate audiences with compelling, character-driven storytelling."
