"Breaking Bad" may be over, but "Better Call Saul" is just beginning ... and Netflix just delivered an early Christmas present.

"'Breaking Bad' is widely recognized as one of the great TV experiences in this new golden age of television ... it has also proven very popular with Netflix subscribers around the world," Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos said in a statement, according to Digital Spy. "This spinoff promises to continue its tradition of powerful storytelling."

In case you haven't been keeping up, "Better Call Saul" will take a closer look at the life of everyone's favorite sketchy lawyer, Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk). Originally thought to be a "Breaking Bad" prequel, Odenkirk noted in November that it could be a prequel or a sequel.

"Well, I've talked to Vince [Gilligan] and Peter [Gould], who are writing and creating the series, about this and I’ve said that a lot of people do want to see what happens to next to Saul," he told IGN. "So, I don’t know what they’re going to do. I know they’ve talked about prequel, but they’ve also talked to me about sequel, and they’ve also talked to me about a mix of prequel and sequel."

Either way, sounds pretty juicy to us. Let the binge-watching begin!
