'Better Call Saul' Season 3 Spoilers: Saul Set To Face More Struggles; Odenkirk Confirms Gus Fring's Return
Saul Goodman will have to go through more challenges in the upcoming season of "Better Call Saul" when it returns next year.
Recently, "Better Call Saul" lead actor Bob Odenkirk had an interview with "Conan on TBS" and "Jimmy Kimmel Live," where he was asked about Gus Fring's rumored appearance in season 3. While Odenkirk tried not to disclose anything, his answers during the interview seemed to have confirmed the rumors.
"Well the writers always do clever things, there's little clues all over the show, visual clues, and one of the things they've done and somebody worked out the puzzle that the acronym or the first letter of each episode of last season spelled out a sentence...'Fring's Back,'" he said.
"And so I guess, I don't know because I really truly don't know what is going to happen in the show, that maybe this season we will see Giancarlo Esposito in the great role again. It would be amazing," he added.
O'Brien further prodded him to reveal the other things he knows about the upcoming season, but it wasn't until his interview with Kimmel that he confirmed Esposito's return.
"He's coming back," he said. The actor revealed that while he has not spoken with him yet, the people behind the series had already confirmed the rumors to him.
"I imagine he'll be in the first moment," he said.
"Better Call Saul" season 3 is expected to reveal how the innocence of Saul gets torn away. Its premiere has not been announced yet, but it may premiere in 2017 on AMC.
