Breaking Bad: Gus Fring Origins Spin-Off Is Possible Here What We Know So Far
Among the upcoming releases in Netflix programming, one of the most anticipated is undoubtedly the final season of Better Call Saul or the first television spin-off of the cult series Breaking Bad. In the show starring the lawyer James McGill/Saul Goodman there is also the legendary Gustavo Fring played by Giancarlo Esposito. The actor, in an interview with Insider, revealed that there is a real possibility of making a show on the origins of Gustavo “Gus” Fring.
Esposito said that during the final days of filming the sixth and final season of Better Call Saul the creator of the universe of Breaking Bad Vince Gilligan – about a spin-off series on Gus Fring – he said “You never know”.
Breaking Bad: Gus Fring Spin-Off of His Origins
Giancarlo Esposito commented revealing what he thinks of Fring’s past:
I have always wanted and felt within me that there is space to tell about the rise of Gus. I feel it would be interesting to know where he comes from. I think he comes from a very wealthy family, he has had the opportunity to run for political office for the government of another country. He had that attitude, that charisma, that stature and all of this changed him because he wanted to be an independent man. There is something fascinating to me about all of this.
Having ascertained the enormous success of Better Call Saul, most likely Gilligan is thinking of a new product to make. Well, Gus Fring is much loved by the public and Giancarlo Esposito – also thanks to his participation in the Star Wars series The Mandalorian – is very popular.
What Do We Know About Gus Fring’s Story?
A very important episode for Fring in Breaking Bad is the eighth episode of the fourth season. Well in this episode we see his business and life partner Max, who is killed in cold blood by Hector Salamanca. So Fring had a love life that was abruptly cut off.
Another clue offered by Fring’s story is that he comes from Chile and was called the “generalissimo” there. This may have led Giancarlo Esposito to think that his character was a politician.
