Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

It was never really in doubt, but Better Call Saul has been officially renewed for a fourth season by AMC, with Jimmy McGill's descent into Saul Goodman set to continue in 2018.

Given how season 3 ended, it is almost certain that Giancarlo Esposito (Gus Fring) and Jonathan Banks (Mike Ehrmantraut) will return alongside Bob Odenkirk (Jimmy McGill) to continue their stories, though it remains to be seen whether Michael McKean (Chuck McGill) will, given the fiery closing scene in the finale.

"Supporting artists we respect and admire; delivering truly outstanding character development and nuanced dramatic twists and turns; continuing a legacy of bold creative choices; loving writing that is the best in the business: Truly, 'S'all good, man'" said Charlie Collier, president of AMC, SundanceTV and AMC Studios.

"Congratulations to Vince, Peter, Bob and everyone involved with 'Better Call Saul.' Bring on season four!"

Season 3 of the show was the third-highest-rated drama on cable among adults 25-54 and critically acclaimed (though this critic respectfully disagrees).

If it makes it to a fifth season, the show will be as long as its forebear, Breaking Bad.
