Broadcast and format
The show uses the same format as Talking Dead and Talking Bad, other aftershows hosted by Hardwick. AMC announced that Talking Saul would air after the second season Better Call Saul premiere on February 15, 2016, and again after the second-season finale on April 18, 2016.[2] It returned following the season 3 premiere and finale.[3]
The show did not return for Better Call Saul's fourth and fifth season, with no word from AMC on its status. This caused some to believe the show was cancelled.[4]
Talking Saul resumed airing for the mid-season finale and the penultimate episode of Better Call Saul's sixth season, with Hardwick returning as host.[5][6]
