‘Better Call Saul’ Season 3: Upcoming Season Will Have Plenty Of Time To Discover Who Gus Fring Really Is

Gustavo Fring won't be making a comeback in "Better Call Saul" season 3, right? The wheelchair explosion pretty much left the chicken king and drug lord dead in the "Breaking Bad" Season 4 finale, so it's not really a return, is it? He's supposed to be on the show, as the prequel is set approximately six years before the events of "Breaking Bad."

In "Better Call Saul" season 3, Gus is not only alive and kicking. He hasn't even been introduced to Saul Goodman yet, who's still known as Jimmy MacGill in the prequel timeline. This TV show suggests that when Gus is introduced in the upcoming season, as confirmed by AMC via EW, fans will have plenty of time to get to know who Gus really is.

Here's little bit of backstory. Gustavo is from Chile, who moved to Mexico in 1986, where he and his friend Max ventured out on the fried chicken restaurant that is Los Pollos Hermanos. Max was murdered by Hector Salamanca, as ordered by Don Eladio, who Gus manipulated into a meeting to try to sell him the new meth that Max had created.

1989 saw Gus move to the US, where he reestablished the restaurant and opened a laundry business to boot, of course, both of which are fronts. It was Saul who connected Gus to Walter White in "Breaking Bad" season 2, when Walt sought out somebody to purchase his signature blue meth.

"Better Call Saul" season 3 may reveal why Jimmy became Saul -- and if the identity change has something to do with the Gus Fring. Yahoo TV also speculates that maybe Gus establishes himself in New Mexico to be near Hector, and strike a full-on vengeance kind of thing for the death of dear ol' Max.

"Better Call Saul" season 3 premieres April 10, 2017 on AMC. In the meantime, check out the Gus Fring amusement below.
