But in “Better Call Saul,” Saul is still Jimmy McGill and has yet to transform to become a criminal lawyer that he was in “Breaking Bad.”
Despite having to deal with a lot of angels and demons on his thoughts during the first two seasons of “Better Call Saul,” Jimmy has yet to metamorphose into Saul Goodman.
Filming for the third season of “Better Call Saul” has already started and a behind-the-set photo shows Bob Odenkirk, playing not as Jimmy McGill or Saul Goodman, but Gene, the Cinnabon manager.
The actor is seen in the photo showing a mustachioed Saul in his Cinnabon attire with co-showrunner Vince Gilligan.
In a recent interview, co-showrunner Peter Gould said that they are fascinated by that black-and-white world that Jimmy/Saul moves into when he becomes Gene the Cinnabon manager.
Another image of “Better Call Saul” Season 3 features Odenkirk’s character in the same room as Chuck his brother and chief rival, whose condition seems to be spiraling ever further downwards.
The second season of “Better Call Saul” which earned an Emmy Award nomination for Best Drama, hinted of the appearance of the crime lord and Los Pollos Hermanos owner, Gustavo Fring.
The upcoming season is likely to feature how Mike Ehrmantraut came to work as the main hitman and security person of Gus Fring.
