After two seasons of watching Jimmy McGill slowly transform into Saul Goodman, fans continue to wonder about what will come next for the quirky lawyer in the upcoming episodes of "Better Call Saul" season 3. Fortunately, creators of the show Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould were able to share some teasers about what lies ahead for the character.
In a recent interview with Digital Trends, Gilligan and Gould gave insight about McGill's (played by Bob Odenkirk) transformation. Season two ended with the lawyer in a compromising situation, when his own brother attempted to ruin his career. This made for a questionable future for McGill, making fans excited for what "Better Call Saul" season 3 will present.
When speaking about how they create the paths for characters of "Better Call Saul" season 3, Gould explained that they do their best to remain faithful to the character's identity as well as actions. Before making a choice, they make sure to understand the intention, which allows them to use the character as a guide. Gould revealed that this way of story-telling also brings them to interesting narratives.
"One of the wonderful things is if you follow the logic of the show [Better Call Saul], sometimes it takes you to wonderful places. If you're willing to look for it, one thing leads to another. And for me, as a member of the "first audience" for the show, there's something so rewarding about looking back to go, "Of course that had to happen, because A plus B equals C," he elaborated regarding "Better Call Saul" season 3.
In addition, they revealed that they are impressed at how smart their audience is. Gould shared that their ultimate goal was to create a show for the smartest audience they could think of. With that, fans can expect some interesting storylines for "Better Call Saul" season 3. Gilligan described the new season as "satisfying" while Gould stated, "Two words: the reckoning." As reported by IGN, the upcoming season is expected to release sometime next year.
