Talking Saul

Talking Saul was an AMC aftershow hosted by Chris Hardwick, focusing on episodes of the series *Better Call Saul*. It ran between February 15, 2016, and August 8, 2022, and its guests were cast and crew members from the parent show. The program followed the same structure as Hardwick’s other aftershows, *Talking Dead* and *Talking Bad*. AMC scheduled it to air after the second season’s premiere and finale in 2016, and it returned for the third season’s premiere and finale. For the fourth and fifth seasons, the show did not air, and AMC gave no explanation, leading some to think it had been canceled. It later came back for the sixth season’s mid-season finale and its penultimate episode, with Hardwick again hosting.

Lore & Background
Talking Saul used 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. It returned following the season 3 premiere and finale. The show did not return for Better Call Saul's fourth and fifth season, with no word from AMC on its status, causing some to believe the show was cancelled. 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.
Reader's Guide
Talking Saul served as a companion aftershow for the acclaimed AMC series Better Call Saul, providing a platform for cast and crew to discuss episodes. Its irregular broadcast schedule—airing only for select premieres, finales, and later a mid-season finale and penultimate episode—reflected AMC's evolving approach to aftershow programming. The show's hiatus during seasons four and five, with no official cancellation announcement, left its status uncertain. Its return for the sixth season demonstrated continued interest in the format. As part of a franchise of Hardwick-hosted aftershows including Talking Dead and Talking Bad, Talking Saul contributed to the broader culture of post-episode analysis for prestige television.
