Splitting Season 6 into Two Parts: A Strategic Move
When it comes to keeping audiences on the edge of their seats, Breaking Bad and its prequel spin-off, Better Call Saul, have mastered the art of suspense. Both shows are known for their cliffhangers that leave viewers eagerly waiting for resolution. Better Call Saul followed in Breaking Bad's footsteps by splitting its sixth and final season into two parts, leaving fans hanging for over two months before resolving some of the show's most shocking moments.
This split in the final season was not a new tactic for show creator Vince Gilligan. Breaking Bad also had its final season divided into two parts, with a notoriously agonizing wait between the two sections. While Better Call Saul viewers had to endure a six-week break between episodes, Breaking Bad fans had to wait almost a year to see how the series would conclude after a major revelation in the first half of its fifth season.
Despite the frustration, this hiatus proved to be beneficial for both shows in the long run.
The break in filming for Breaking Bad allowed Gilligan and his team more time to craft the final episodes, building up hype for the remaining episodes.
