At the end of season two, Jimmy’s career hung in the balance after Chuck recorded him confessing to a felony.
Meanwhile, Mike was warned off killing sociopathic cartel boss Hector Salamanca, raising questions as to what other dangerous players may be in the game.
AMC has teased: “As the new season begins, the repercussions of Chuck’s scheme test Jimmy and Kim’s fledgling law practices – and their romance – as never before.

Better Call Saul season 3 cast
Breaking Bad fans were delighted when it was announced that Giancarlo Esposito will reprise his character Gus Fring.
Esposito has said that he is “extremely excited” to return to the character, who he says is “a different guy, a little fresher, a little less jaded” than the villain we saw in Breaking Bad.
He added: “I wanted him to be little more hopeful, a little more energetic, maybe not as definitive in some of his actions because he’s a Gus that we’ve never met before.
“The opportunity to tell some of the backstory of Gus and how he rose to power and how he came to be is always something I’ve wanted to explore in a very subtle way in the right venue.”
Esposito joins Bob Odenkirk, who plays lawyer Jimmy McGill.
Also returning from Breaking Bad is Jonathan Banks as Mike Ehrmantraut and Mark Margolis as Hector Salamanca.
Michael McKean plays Jimmy’s brother Chuck, who is a high-powered lawyer at Hamlin, Hamlin & McGill. Patrick Fabian plays his law partner Howard Hamlin.
Rhea Seehorn returns as Kim Wexler – a brilliant litigator and Jimmy’s love interest.
Michael Mando completes the main cast as Nacho Varga, a career criminal on a collision course with Jimmy and Mike.
