'Better Call Saul' season 3 air date, news, plot rumors: To finally show transition from Jimmy to Saul?

(Facebook/Better Call Saul)"Better Call Saul" season 3 production is currently underway and it looks like more characters from its parent series will make an appearance in the upcoming season.

The hit American crime drama series "Better Call Saul" has released a bunch of set photos from the upcoming season 3 run. While fans wait for the return of their favorite series, they can see a glimpse of Jimmy McGill's (Bob Odenkirk) transformation into Saul Goodman, the notorious lawyer in "Breaking Bad."

There hasn't been much news about what "Better Call Saul" season 3 is going to revolve around. However, the series' official Twitter account just recently posted a string of set photos that hint at the much-awaited transformation of Jimmy into Saul.

The set photos show Odenkirk in what seems like a conversation with "Breaking Bad" creator and "Better Call Saul" co-creator Vince Gilligan. The lead actor is seen sporting what looks like a Gene style of clothes so it is possible that he will have flashbacks to his "Breaking Bad" character, when he was still a Cinnabon manager.

If speculations prove to be true, then the flashback could be Jimmy's transition into the brand-new and infamous Saul. However, there are those who speculate that the entire "Better Call Saul" may not feature his new persona yet, but will delve deeper into his past as Gene.

People behind the series are constantly challenged on how they will present the transition from Jimmy into Saul.

"We constantly ask ourselves, how does Jimmy McGill, the guy we love on 'Better Call Saul,' become this somewhat more two-dimensional person, someone who's got a hardened heart, on 'Breaking Bad?'" Gilligan revealed in an interview with Digital Spy. "So we're trying to work our way through that and, to be honest with you, figure out how that happens and once that's happened, is there any possibility of redeeming Saul Goodman?"

Also, there might be a possibility that Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito) of "Breaking Bad" may appear in the upcoming season of Saul.

"Better Call Saul" season 3 premieres in February 2017 on AMC.
