Watch a peppy new music video setting up Breaking Bad spin-off Better Call Saul


Having some legal troubles? You better watch this trailer/music video for the upcoming Breaking Bad spin-off Better Call Saul, which offers a convincing case for hiring the titular lawyer. "He'll fight for your rights when your back's to the wall," promises Junior Brown, in a song that will definitely be stuck in your head for the rest of the day.
It's not the most conventional way to promote a new TV series — but Better Call Saul isn't the most conventional show. The series will function as a prequel to Breaking Bad, focusing on shady lawyer Saul Goodman before he encountered Walter White and Jesse Pinkman.
"Better Call Saul" was written by Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan and writer/producer Peter Gould, who will serve as Better Call Saul's showrunner. The series premieres next February.
