When AMC's Breaking Bad ended back in 2013, fans were upset by the idea that they would never see Walter White, Jesse Pinkman and Saul Goodman again. Thankfully though, just two years later the network debuted a new show called Better Call Saul which follows Saul Goodman in the years leading up to when he first met Walter White. The show's season 5 finale is set to premiere on Monday, April 20 and we have all the details on how you can watch Better Call Saul on TV or online from anywhere in the world.
For those unaware, Better Call Saul is a prequel TV series to Breaking Bad also created by Vince Gilligan which stars Bob Odenkirk. While Breaking Bad gives us a glimpse into the third act of Saul Goodman's life, Better Call Saul covers the first two acts back when Saul was known as Jimmy McGill. The first four seasons of the series show how Jimmy McGill rose from being a public defender to working in a high end law firm. In season 5 though, he has set out on his own and assumed the role of Saul Goodman.
Better Call Saul has been renewed for a sixth season which began filming in February of this year though production has come to a halt due to the global pandemic which means that if you haven't watched the show yet, you'll have plenty of time to catch up before the next season airs.
Whether you're a Breaking Bad fan that wants to see what all the fuss is about or you've been following Jimmy McGill's transition into Saul Goodman for some time now, we'll show you how to watch AMC's latest hit series from wherever you are in the world.

Watch Better Call Saul in Australia
If you want to watch the season 5 finale of Better Call Saul in Australia, then the streaming service Stan is your best and only option to do so.

Regardless of which plan you choose, Stan offers a 30 day free trial so you can test out the service for yourself.
