The show’s lead actor, Bob Odenkirk said that “Better Call Saul” season 5 will show Jimmy’s full transformation since the fourth season ended while he is already becoming Saul Goodman.

"I think he's there. I'm not sure that Peter Gould and Vince Gilligan feel this way, but I do," he told Gold Derby. "I feel that in his heart and in his mind, he's there. He's Saul. He just needs to get the office and come up with the idea that, 'Who will be beneficiary of these particular skills? Who would value them the most?’”

He added that when he becomes the con lawyer who defends the drug dealers and other bad guys in “Better Call Saul” season 5, the criminals will appreciate his work in the story. He said that his character would play with the truth and it will be an exciting scenario for the viewers.

He said that he can assure that his installment will be the best season to come yet in the series.
