Ever since plans were announced for a prequel spinoff of “Breaking Bad”, each season of “Better Call Saul” has been greeted with the same question: will Bryan Cranston be making a cameo?
That didn’t happen in the first two seasons of the AMC drama, featuring Bob Odenkirk reprising his role as oily attorney Saul Goodman in the years leading up to his fateful meeting with teacher-turned-druglord Walter White (Cranston).

Even though a behind-the-scenes video from the set of the upcoming third season declares definitively that “Bryan Cranston will NOT be in this season of ‘Better Call Saul’, fans can be forgiven for wondering how truthful that claim is, since the multiple “Breaking Bad” Emmy-winner appears in the video, filmed on the set of “Saul” in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
“I’m back here in Albuquerque and I’m on here on a book tour,” explains Cranston of why he’s back in New Mexico, presumably on the road plugging his recently published memoir A Life in Parts.

“I wanted to come in early to Albuquerque so I could visit the set and just say hello to friends and family,” says Cranston. “All the cast is changed, but the sensibility is the same and the crew is pretty much the same.”
Whether we do indeed catch a glimpse of Walter White in the third season of “Better Call Saul” may be in question, but what’s been confirmed is that season three will reintroduce a character who played a key role in Walt’s journey: Gus Fring, played by Giancarlo Esposito, who’ll be entering the orbit of Jimmy McGill and no doubt play a crucial role in sending him on his journey from Jimmy to Saul.
