‘I admire Kneecap. I'm proud of how brave they've been' – says director of hit show Severance
'Ben Stiller called me,' said Aoife McArdle, matter of fact, just like that.
'Well, there were agents involved but yeah, he called me, said there was something he was working on, he liked some of my previous work and asked me to take a look at the script and see if I was interested in getting involved,' she said.

Here's when you can check out the creator of Breaking Bad's new mystery series
After years of teases and hints, the creator of Breaking Bad, Vince Gilligan, has finally given fans a first look at his next series, Pluribus. The Sci-Fi series will be coming to Apple TV+ later this year, and the teams launched a days-long countdown to its reveal at San Diego Comic Con. The internationally reknowned event saw a number of shows and films give attendees exclusive first looks and casting news, with Gilligan and co releasing the teaser trailer for Pluribus after its panel. The countdown video was released along with the tagline: 'Happiness is Contagious,' and led many fans to theorise what the show might be about. Pluribus Pic: Apple TV+ The only description for Pluribus that Apple has offered is this: 'The most miserable person on Earth must save the world from happiness,' and its official logline isn't much better, describing it as 'a genre-bending original in which the most miserable person on Earth must save the world from happiness.' What has thrilled many fans is the reveal that Gilligan will be reuniting with Better Call Saul star Rhea Seehorn for the new series, and she's shown in the teaser licking donuts and putting them back into the box. In fact, Vince said that he had actually written the lead role for Pluribus with Seehorn in mind, and other cast members include Karolina Wydra, and Carlos Manuel Vesga, as well as guest stars Miriam Shor and Samba Schutte. Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan's new show Pluribus is coming to Apple TV+ this November Pic: Apple TV+ Apple clearly has a lot of faith in Gilligan as they commissioned two seasons of Pluribus even before the first was close to airing, confirming the order back in 2022. Fingers crossed it pays off!
