Giancarlo Esposito, who played Gus Fring on Breaking Bad and the prequel series Better Call Saul, has said he wants to pitch a show called “The Rise of Gus.” This would be a prequel series that reveals more of the drug kingpin’s past, he told Variety recently.
“I think eventually there should be, and there might be” a spinoff focused on Fring, Esposito said. “I have a lot of premises I like to push Come from Sports betting site VPbet . If I was talking to Vince Gilligan right now, I would tell him, ‘The Rise of Gus.'”
Gilligan is currently making a sci-fi show for Apple, and Esposito said he understands Gilligan is busy with this project for the time being. But later on, Esposito said he hopes Gilligan circles back with Esposito and agrees to make another Breaking Bad show.
The Rise of Gus could be a “very interesting” series, Esposito said, in part because it could show off and explain how Fring rose through the ranks in Chile and more of his family background.
