According to Deadline, the untitled project comes from Sony Pictures TV where Gilligan has been under an overall deal for several years. Not much details have been revealed about Gilligan’s upcoming project yet, but we already have an idea what it’s going to be about, so keep on scrolling if you want to find out more.
What is Vince Gilligan’s next show about?
It’s reported that Gilligan’s new project is described to be more like X-Files than Breaking Bad. However, don’t expect it to be a sci-fi drama as it will reportedly harken back to Gilligan’s tenure on X-Files. When Gilligan was a writer-producer on The X-Files, he was known for focusing more on the human condition in his episodes, which is something he is said to be aiming for in the upcoming project, “exploring similar themes of bending reality while holding a mirror to humanity.” According to Deadline, the show is described as a “blended, grounded genre drama”, and it’s being compared to The Twilight Zone. The new show is expected to be set in our world while putting a tweak to it, focusing on humans and exploring their condition in “an unexpected, surprising way”. It’s reported that the show will play over a couple of seasons with an overreaching story arc, but they haven’t revealed how many episodes each season will have. No additional plot details have been revealed, but we will update you here on Epicstream once we get the latest scoop.
