'Better Call Saul' Season 3 Update: 'Breaking Bad' Actor Giancarlo Esposito Talks Character's Return [VIDEO]
Fans of the Breaking Bad spin-off series, Better Call Saul, are understandably quite excited for the show's return this coming April. The show's third season will continue to show audiences the transformation of the small-time lawyer James Morgan "Jimmy" McGill, played by Bob Odenkirk, into his crooked alter-ego that every knows and loves, Saul Goodman.
The recently released teaser trailer already reveals that Jimmy will be caught in a tight spot as he is shown to have been arrested. It is not yet clear what the reason for his arrest will be, but it will likely have something to do with his brother Chuck, played by Michael McKean, who recorded their conversation of Jimmy admitting to forging the Mesa Verde documents.
However, there is still the possibility that Jimmy could have been arrested for entirely different reasons as well, which is actually just increasing the fan's excitement for Better Call Saul season 3.
Meanwhile, Breaking Bad actor Giancarlo Esposito has already been confirmed to be reprising his role in the spin-off series as mob boss Gustavo Fring. Esposito recently talked about his character and his excitement to be back in the Breaking Bad world during an interview with AMC. The 58-year old actor revealed that he loved all of the people behind both shows and that he was very much excited to be back.
Esposito admitted that Better Call Saul may be an entirely different show, but he is still just happy to be given the opportunity to help in telling the back story of his character, Gus Fring, as per IBTimes. The actor also mentioned that there was actually a lot to be told, from how Gus was able to gain the favor of Juan Bolsa, his connections with Mike, and his eventual rise to power
