It hasn’t been said how many episodes the drug lord and fast food restaurant owner will appear in, but the actor did have this to say about his return.
“We’re at a time where he’s a little more immature than where we left off. He’s still finding his way. It would be wonderful for me to [see] therise of Gus, because I think there’s enough backstory within Gus to support that.”
The Emmy-nominated seriesBetter Call Saulwill return for Season 3 on Monday, April 10th at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT. The new season follows the twists and turns ofJimmy McGill’s (Bob Odenkirk) devolution towardBreaking Bad’s Saul Goodman - Albuquerque’s most notorious criminal lawyer. Six years before he meets Walter White, Jimmy is a more or less law-abiding, small-time attorney hustling to champion his underdog clients, build his practice and somehow make a name for himself. The acclaimed second season ended with a pair of cliffhangers. Determined to prevent his brother from practicing law, Chuck (Michael McKean) staged an elaborate con, secretly recording Jimmy’s confession to a felony. When Mike (Jonathan Banks) set his sights on sociopathic cartel boss Hector Salamanca (Mark Margolis), an ominous intervention stopped him from pulling the trigger, raising questions as to what other dangerous players may be in the game.
As the new season begins, the repercussions of Chuck’s scheme test Jimmy and Kim’s (Rhea Seehorn) fledgling law practices - and their romance - as never before. This imminent existential threat presses Jimmy’s faltering moral compass to the limit. Meanwhile, Mike searches for a mysterious adversary who seems to know almost everything about his business. As the season progresses, new characters are introduced and backstories are further illuminated with meaningful nods to theBreaking Baduniverse.
