‘Better Call Saul’ not coming to Netflix US until early 2016

If you’re not in the United States or Canada you’d have been treated the past few months to a weekly dose of the brand new series of Better Call Saul. This series tells the story of Saul Goodman's prologue before breaking down into television. AMC took a chance with the spinoff, but it was well received by both fans and critics. The new series has been praised for its solid production and respect for the IP.

The series, which is aired on AMC meant that Netflix couldn’t obtain the rights like it has in other regions which has meant only those with a cable subscription could watch Better Call Saul with an expected release date in the summer at some point. This news has now changed as Twitter user Jim Maiella, in charge of communications has announced the actual release date for when you’ll be seeing season 1 of Better Call Saul enter Netflix in the states and Canada.

Although this unexpected announcement is shocking for the system, it is in line with Netflix strategy and is also more consistent than other cable companies. Better Call Saul Season 1 will be available on Netflix beginning January 2016.
