‘Better Call Saul’ season 3: Behind-the-scene pictures; Gus Fring’s connection with Nacho
“Better Call Saul” season 3 will observe the return of “Breaking Bad” villain Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito). The official Twitter handle of the show teased the arrival of Gus with yet another tweet, showing a behind-the-scene picture of Esposito posing alongside Ignacio "Nacho" Varga (Michael Mando). Mando released another picture through Facebook.
The official Twitter handle of the show captioned the picture, “Are nachos being added to the menu at Los Pollos Hermanos?” The show is apparently trying to make a pun while reminding fans that third season is being filmed and will be back on TV screens soon. (See the tweet below.)
In “Breaking Bad,” Gus is the owner of a fast food chain called Los Pollos Hermanos. Ignacio Varga, better known was Nacho, is a chop shop owner who also works for Tuco Salamanca (Raymond Cruz), a psychotic drug distributor. Since a picture of Nacho and Esposito in the same frame has been shared, it remains to be seen if their characters will collide and how.
Perhaps, Gus will take Nacho’s help to enter into the criminal world in “Better Call Saul” season 3, or perhaps, he will hire him to start his very own drug trade. Nacho is already worried about continuing working with Tuco because of the latter’s increasing instability. That apparently makes Nacho a good recruit for Gus Fring.
Furthermore, Nacho is already working with Mike Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks) secretly. He admires his calculated way of working. Perhaps, it is through Nacho that Gus comes in contact with Mike. However, these are just theories, and nothing can be said to be true as of now.
In another photo posted by Mando on Facebook, Patrick Fabian (Howard Hamlin), Rhea Seehorn (Kim Wexler), James Morgan "Jimmy" McGill (Bob Odenkirk) and Ehrmantraut can be seen posing along with Mando. The picture is captioned, “In legal trouble?” (See the picture below.)
Meanwhile, another major “Breaking Bad” character is all set to return to the show’s prequel spinoff. It has not been revealed as to who that would be. Meanwhile, speculations suggest that it could be Dean Norris (DEA agent Hank Schrader) or Aaron Paul (Jessi Pinkman).
“Better Call Saul” season 3 will be aired in the US on April 10 at 10:00 p.m. ET on AMC. The show is streamed on Stan in Australia. However, the streaming company has not announced about the third season yet.
