When AMC's Talking Dead, the weekly The Walking Dead aftershow, returns from its winter hiatus, the first episode will be delayed by an hour to give its prime Walking Dead lead-in to the premiere of Better Call Saul.
Talking Dead host Chris Hardwick confirmed this via Twitter earlier in the week, but reassured fans that it was a one-week-only thing.
Hey @WalkingDead_AMC fans! On Feb 8 @BetterCallSaul will premiere at 10p right after WD, then @AMCTalkingDead at 11 BUT JUST FOR THAT NIGHT!

Better Call Saul is the hotly-anticipated spinoff of Breaking Bad, following Bob Odenkirk's Saul Goodman as he makes his way through the shadier side of the New Mexico legal system.
The success of The Walking Dead has sometimes been used as a springboard for new properties AMC wanted to succeed, scheduling shows like Comic Book Men on the same night to capitalize on audieince overlap.
