Better Call Saul Season 3 Story
Here's the official synopsis from AMC:
The new season follows the twists and turns of Jimmy McGill's (Bob Odenkirk) devolution toward “Breaking Bad’s” Saul Goodman - Albuquerque’s most notorious criminal lawyer. Six years before he meets Walter White, Jimmy is a more or less law-abiding, small-time attorney hustling to champion his underdog clients, build his practice and somehow make a name for himself.
The acclaimed second season ended with a pair of cliffhangers. Determined to prevent his brother from practicing law, Chuck (Michael McKean) staged an elaborate con, secretly recording Jimmy’s confession to a felony. When Mike (Jonathan Banks) set his sights on sociopathic cartel boss Hector Salamanca (Mark Margolis), an ominous intervention stopped him from pulling the trigger, raising questions as to what other dangerous players may be in the game.
As the new season begins, the repercussions of Chuck’s scheme test Jimmy and Kim’s (Rhea Seehorn) fledgling law practices – and their romance – as never before. This imminent existential threat presses Jimmy’s faltering moral compass to the limit. Meanwhile, Mike searches for a mysterious adversary who seems to know almost everything about his business. As the season progresses, new characters are introduced and backstories are further illuminated with meaningful nods to the “Breaking Bad” universe.
OK, we're sold.

Other Breaking Bad alumni want in on the fun too. Betsy Brandt, who played Marie Schrader, told the Huffington Post that a cameo has been "discussed," but really, Dean Norris, who played DEA Agent Hank Schrader, seems like he'd be a better fit for this world.
And though Bryan Cranston has been rumored to be directing an episode of the upcoming season, there's been no word on whether we'll get a glimpse of Walter White.
