Laura Fraser is headed to Breaking Bad Season 5... as someone really important!

In casting news first broken by Entertainment Weekly, the Scottish actress will debut on the July 22 episode of this AMC as Lydia, someone creator Vince Gilligan describes as a "former associate of Gus Fring who’s integral to the proceedings of season 5,” and who is also “nervous about her place in the world.”

That's nice, vague and intriguing, isn't it?

The fifth season of TV's best show kicks off on July 15, with a special Comic-Con screening of the premiere set for Saturday night, July 14. Look for TV Fanatic to report from that event's red carpet and check out a new Season 5 trailer now:
