Yesterday an amazing crew of people finished shooting Better Call Saul in Albuquerque, NM. It began in 2014, with great writing always leading the change, and despite challenges of all kinds, our energy and care never flagged. I am honored to have been part of it. 

Better Call Saul also stars Jonathan Banks, Rhea Seehorn, Patrick Fabian, Michael Mando, Giancarlo Esposito and Tony Dalton as members of the main cast. The series has been nominated for 39 Emmys and earned a nomination for Outstanding Drama Series in each of the five years it has run so far.
