For a while there, we were afraid that Slippin’ Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk) might be disbarred for good, but the gavel has dropped and it appears there is order disorder in the court once again. According to ScreenCrush, AMC’s Breaking Bad spinoff Better Call Saul will return for a fourth season, and will likely look to continue many of the storylines fans have come to know and love.

In a statement to the press, Charlie Collier, president of AMC, SundanceTV, and AMC Studios, said of the move:

“Supporting artists we respect and admire; delivering truly outstanding character development and nuanced dramatic twists and turns; continuing a legacy of bold creative choices; loving writing that is the best in the business: Truly, ‘S’all good, man.’ Congratulations to Vince, Peter, Bob and everyone involved with Better Call Saul. Bring on Season 4!”

Props to Collier for the creative Saul Goodman pun (does this mean season 4 will complete Jimmy’s transformation into the titular litigator?) and for recognizing the talent of the folks who work on this show. Its thoughtful, subtle, slow-burning drama makes it stand out from the crowd and we ae glad to hear that we have at least one more season to look forward to.

The season 3 finale left us with a couple of major cliffhangers (beware, spoilers ahead!), including the respective fates of Hector “Tio” Salamanca (Mark Margolis) and the electrophobic, sanctimonious elder statesman of the McGill family, Chuck (Michael McKean).

For those that are curious, producers have hinted at the future for the latter, but we will keep things spoiler-free and leave you with co-creator Peter Gould’s take from Talking Saul, the talk show hosted by Chris Hardwick: “Even if he is dead, we haven’t finished with the character. That’s the thing about the show, we go back and forth in time.”

That is the best of both worlds, really, as it keeps us hanging from the proverbial cliff, but lets us rest comfortably in the knowledge that we have not heard the last of one of TV’s most fascinating and complex characters.

It will likely be a while before we find out when season 4 will premiere, which characters will return, but we will keep you posted as news breaks.

3 underrated (HBO) Max movies you should watch this weekend (June 28-30)
A girl looks at a boy in House at the End of the Street.

June is surprisingly over, and with it, a great month for movies comes to a satisfactory close. You've probably watched Inside Out 2 or Bad Boys: Ride or Die or maybe even The Bikeriders. From blockbusters to indie fare, the theatrical movie business has been robust and healthy.

The same goes for streaming. Netflix had a big hit with Richard Linklater's Hit Man, while Amazon Prime Video recently premiered the latest bonkers season of The Boys. HBO and Max have been quieter, but their robust library speaks volumes to the streamer's high quality. The following three films are older, but are just as worth your time as new hits like House of the Dragon season 2.

Two men spy from a car in The Limey.

As we head toward the end of June, it's worth reflecting on how we want to spend the rest of summer. For some, that's going to mean enjoying nice weather or getting some time in at the beach. For others, it might mean escaping from the heat, at least for a while, to check out a great movie.

If you fall into that second category, then we've pulled together a list of three great, underrated, titles available on Amazon Prime Video that are all worth checking out. Prime Video is home to some of the best movies available online, but it can be hard to find the ones you want. These three will at least give you a great place to start.

The best Netflix original series right now
Eric and Benedict Cumberbatch in Eric.

The era of Peak TV was also Peak Netflix, because the streamer seemingly had an endless supply of new original series. So far in 2024, that hasn't been the case. Whether we'll ever get the same level of content again seems unlikely for now. But even in a reduced capacity, Netflix still has a few new additions to its lineup of originals.

For the month of June, we're adding the '80s-set thriller, Eric, which stars Benedict Cumbebatch. Our other pick for the month is Supacell, which is Netflix's new British series that remixes some old superhero archetypes. That's not a very big selection for fans who always want something new, but this roundup of the best Netflix original series really does have all of the top options in one place for you. All you have to do is scroll down and make time to binge watch some shows.
