The first look photos of "Better Call Saul" Season 3 have been released, giving fans of the "Breaking Bad" prequel a glimpse into Jimmy McGill's world when the show returns on AMC.

In a report from Entertainment Weekly, three images of Better Call Saul's upcoming third season have been shared online. Two of the photos reveal that Odenkirk's character will return as Cinnabon manager, Gene in the new season. Creator and executive producer Vince Gilligan was also featured having a conversation with Odenkirk inside the mall setting.

The third photo in the bunch gives fans a glimpse of Chuck and Jimmy in one scene where the former is setting up more foil in his house. Having ended Season 2 with a cliffhanger, the relationship of Jimmy with his brother is still on murky waters. While Jimmy sees Chuck as the only family in his life, it seems that his questionable actions will be that driving force inside Jimmy's head to break bad.

As co-showrunner Peter Gould explained in an interview last April, Chuck is someone that poses a threat to Jimmy.

"Without a doubt, it feels like Chuck is about to make some really big move against Jimmy," the showrunner said.

"And I think one of the questions is: Jimmy is the guy who will run to his brother's aid when he needs to. Is that still going to be true after he finds out that he's been played, and he's been had?"

"Better Call Saul" also stars Jonathan Banks, Michael Mando, Michael McKean, Patrick Fabian and Rhea Seehorn. Season 3 is slated to premiere in the spring of 2017.
