Breaking Bad’s Giancarlo Esposito coming to Better Call Saul

Breaking Bad

Does anyone want chicken??!! Breaking Bad’s Gus Fring is returning!

Giancarlo Esposito will reprise his role as the chilling, restrained drug lord who ran a fast-food chicken restaurant empire as well.

Esposito confirmed his return on Wednesday, tweeting, “I’m back!! What you’ve been waiting for, the rise of Gus is coming!” AMC released a statement as well, saying, “Gus Fring will appear in season 3 of Better Call Saul.” Neither the network nor Esposito is saying how big the role is or how many episodes that he will appear in.

Esposito included in his tweet a new Los Pollos Hermanos “Taste the Family” commercial that features Gus in that yellow shirt and black tie. “Come in and try our new curly fries,” he tells the camera. “We are so sure you’ll like them. And if you don’t, they’re on me.” Chilling, indeed.

Other Breaking Bad characters to surface on Better Call Saul — Mike Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks) — include Tuco (Raymond Cruz), Hector (Mark Margolis), Ken (Kyle Bornheimer), Krazy-8 (Max Arciniega), Lawson (Jim Beaver), and the Salamanca cousins (Daniel and Luis Moncada).

Season 3 of Better Call Saul begins this spring on AMC.
