'Better Call Saul’s animated prequel spinoff 'Slippin’ Jimmy' has arrived on AMC+ with six episodes.
AMC+ has released the key art for Slippin’ Jimmy, a six-part animated spinoff of the hit drama series Better Call Saul. Featuring a child version of Saul Goodman aka Jimmy McGill, Slippin’ Jimmy acts as a casual and family-friendly prequel to the bloody original series.
The key art features Jimmy and his friend Marco Pasternark before they became an unstoppable team of con artists. In the animated series, Jimmy and Marco are still in school, the reason why they are using matching uniforms in the new art. Besides the duo, the key art also presents a new character, a mean-looking adult who is an authority figure in Jimmy’s school. The spinoff follows the children’s first troubles with the law, as they hone their con skills long before Jimmy became Saul Goodman.
