The Creator of 'breaking Bad' and 'better Call Saul' Provided Details of His New Series

With Breaking Bad, Vince Gilligan marked a turning point in television history. Walter White's transformation into Heisenberg redefined the concept of the antihero and left an indelible mark on pop culture.

Then came Better Call Saul, a prequel that surprised with its emotional depth and unbelievable character development. Many critics even consider it superior to its predecessor.

Now, Gilligan is betting on a new challenge:a science fiction series for Apple TV+ that promises to move away from his criminal universe to explore a completely different terrain.

What is Vince Gilligan's new series about?

The project remains secret, but there are some certainties. The series will have a science fiction theme, it already has a confirmed second season, and it will star Rhea Seehorn.

Gilligan revealed that Seehorn's character was written especially for her and will be very different from what was seen in Better Call Saul.

"I created this series for her: I'm excited for the audience to see Rhea Seehorn play a character different from the one she did in Better Call Saul. Her character is someone who tries very hard to be good. She's a heroine with scars, but still a heroine."

A more human approach within science fiction

While there aren't too many details about the plot, it has been compared to movies like "E.T." This suggests that the focus will be more on the emotional and the human, rather than a dystopian or futuristic story.

Gilligan will have total control over the production, as he is not only the creator but also the showrunner and executive producer.

When does Vince Gilligan's series premiere on Apple TV+?

For now, there is no confirmed release date. However, given that the filming has already begun and the project has the green light for two seasons, it's possible that the series will arrive on Apple TV+ in 2025.

With this new project, Gilligan once again demonstrates why he is one of the most influential creators in television. His foray into science fiction generates enormous expectations, and fans are already eager to see the result.
