This is my favorite show on TV right now, can’t wait. It will probably be a while if they don’t even plan to finish filming until August, though 😕

Seems to get later every year.

But if they can keep up the quality, it will be worth it in the end. Can’t wait!

Do we know if this will be the last season? I know Bob Odenkirk said last year or the year before that he didn’t see how the show could go on past five seasons. But I haven’t heard anything about this being the final season.

Here’s an interview with Peter Gould from last fall. He doesn’t say anything about this being the last season, but that they are closer to the end than the beginning. (Spoilers of course)
