'Who's more heroic than Rhea Seehorn?’: Vince Gilligan pens new Apple TV+ series

Breaking new ground with Rhea Seehorn

As reported by TVLine in late 2022, the curtain may have come down on 'Better Call Saul', but Rhea Seehorn, the show's memorable attorney Kim Wexler, was far from finished. In an exciting turn of events, Seehorn is set to headline a new series by the mastermind behind 'Breaking Bad' and 'Better Call Saul', Vince Gilligan, for Apple TV+.

Rhea Seehorn: The hero in Gilligan's new saga

"After fifteen years, I figured it was time to take a break from writing antiheroes... and who’s more heroic than the brilliant Rhea Seehorn?" Gilligan mused about his new venture. The untitled series, still shrouded in mystery, carried enough weight to land a two-season order from Apple TV+ purely on its pedigree.

Gilligan showed immense confidence in Seehorn, praising her talent and expressing his thrill at the prospect of working with her. "It’s long past time she had her own show, and I feel lucky to get to work on it with her," he stated, signaling high expectations for the actress and the show.

Gilligan's reunion and Seehorn's Emmy journey

There is more to this new venture than just a fresh script and a leading lady. Gilligan's reunion with Apple's Zack Van Amburg, Jamie Erlicht, and Chris Parnell, who first said yes to 'Breaking Bad', added another intriguing layer to the narrative. The reassembling of this creative team, along with the involvement of Sony Pictures Television, holds great promise for the new series.

The news came on the heels of Seehorn wrapping up her six-season stint as Kim Wexler on 'Better Call Saul'. Her exceptional performance garnered her an Emmy nomination for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series. This nomination only cemented Seehorn's acting prowess and set the stage for the potential success of Gilligan's new endeavor.

The announcement of this new Gilligan series marked a significant moment in the TV landscape. Not only does it promise to carry forward the legacy of 'Breaking Bad' and 'Better Call Saul', but it also sets the stage for Rhea Seehorn to take the reins in a new narrative. As the entertainment world eagerly awaits the unraveling of this new chapter, one thing is clear: Vince Gilligan is determined to break new ground with his 'heroic' star, Rhea Seehorn.
