Netflix have released two new images from the upcoming second season of Better Call Saul. The streaming service have also released an updated character/ actor list for the new series, which you can read below.
Better Call Saul is a prequel to the award-winning series Breaking Bad created by Vince Gilligan and writer/producer Peter Gould. The story is set six years before Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) meets Walter White. When we meet him in Season 1, the man who will become Saul is known as Jimmy McGill, a small-time lawyer searching for his destiny and hustling to make ends meet. Working alongside and often against Jimmy is fixer Mike Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks), a beloved character first introduced in Breaking Bad. The series tracks Jimmy’s transformation into a man who puts the criminal in “criminal attorney.”
The new season debuts in 2016.

BOB ODENKIRK as Jimmy McGill/Saul Goodman
Before he became Saul Goodman – Albuquerque’s notorious criminal lawyer – he was Jimmy McGill, a hardworking attorney struggling to make ends meet. He may not have a Cadillac or a degree from an Ivy League university, but Jimmy’s buoyant optimism and quick wit make him a forceful champion for his downmarket clients. Jimmy’s a legitimate lawyer, an underdog fighting to make a name for himself, but his moral compass and his ambition are often at war with each other.
JONATHAN BANKS as Mike Ehrmantraut
Before he was Saul’s fixer, Mike Ehrmantraut was a cop in Philadelphia – that is, until he took an early retirement due to a series of dark events that he’d prefer to keep buried in the past. A recent transplant to the Southwest, Mike has come to Albuquerque to pursue a quiet life as a grandfather. However, his specialized skill set lends itself easily to the criminal world, and he soon finds his talents are in high demand.
MICHAEL McKEAN as Chuck McGill
Jimmy’s older brother Chuck is a name partner at one of Albuquerque’s most prestigious law firms. A brilliant man of high ideals, Chuck believes that doing the right thing is the true and proper route to success. Unfortunately, an unusual illness makes it difficult for him to lead a normal life.
RHEA SEEHORN as Kim Wexler
A smart and hardworking lawyer with an ambitious two-year plan, Kim Wexler has worked her way up from humble beginnings to become one of the go-to litigators at Hamlin, Hamlin & McGill. Kim’s history with Jimmy complicates their working relationship, and may ultimately compromise her career goals.
