AMC’s Twitter teaser revealed clues to the premiere date

The Better Call Saul Twitter account first revealed the news of the season 6 premiere date with a cryptic teaser that many fans quickly figured out. The tweet included a short video of the Salamanca cousins (Daniel and Luis Moncado) walking through a crime scene, complete with skull-toed boots. They walk by two investigative markers with the letters “D” and “R.” Many viewers notice that these letters are the fourth and eighteenth letters of the alphabet. Hopeful fans believed this meant that the new season’s premiere date was April 18, 2022. AMC confirmed the news on Feb. 10 that fans correctly found the message in the Better Call Saul teaser.
