Breaking Bad to Introduce Key New Character

Breaking Bad fans are familiar with the quiet, dastardly ways of Gus Fring.

When this AMC drama returns in July, meanwhile, we'll meet another member of this drug-producing family.

Sources tell E! News that Gus' brother will be introduced in the middle of season four. Named Max, he's a trained biochemist (and replacement for Gale?) with a "gentle soul." Then again, as we learned with Gus, that doesn't mean he won't be willing to go to extremes to protect his business.

Look for the summer premiere to pick up immediately following the murderous event that concluded the third season finale.
