RENEWAL STATUS:
The series has been renewed for a sixth season, which will consist of ten episodes. The show’s producers are still in the process of negotiating with AMC and Netflix for a possible seventh season, but as it stands, there is no confirmation on what to expect following this sixth season.
THE PLOT:
The new season’s plot will pick up where Season 5 left off with Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk) struggling with his identity following Chuck’s death. He wants to be a good person who can do right by others, but he also knows that being honest could ruin him. His brother, Chuck (Michael McKean), was the one who had supported him in starting his law career, so it is difficult for Jimmy to understand why they were estranged prior to Chuck dying from cancer.
As the new season begins, Kim (Rhea Seehorn) has gone into hiding, and her whereabouts are unknown. Season four ended with a cliffhanger as Flynn (Jeremiah Bitsui) was revealed to be alive. With the FBI and federal prosecutors on his tail, he went out of contact with Kim (Rhea Seehorn).
