Vince Gilligan and Rhea Seehorn reunite for Apple TV sci-fi series
Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan is returning to television with a new Apple TV+ original series, this time venturing into science fiction. The upcoming psychological sci-fi drama marks a creative reunion between Gilligan and Emmy-nominated actor Rhea Seehorn, who starred as Kim Wexler in Better Call Saul. While the series remains untitled and plot details are under wraps, Gilligan has indicated it will explore complex philosophical questions about the human condition. Departing from his well-known crime-drama style, the show is expected to take on a more introspective and emotional tone, with thematic nods to classic sci-fi such as E.T. On July 22, Apple TV+ released a cryptic teaser on social media titled, 'Happiness is Contagious', featuring a looping video and a link to a YouTube countdown set to expire at 3 PM ET this Friday. Though the content of the teaser remains ambiguous, it has sparked speculation about an imminent trailer or full reveal. The project is already generating early buzz due to the strength of its creative team. Gilligan's past shows have been critically acclaimed and commercially successful, while Seehorn has earned consistent praise for her dramatic range. Apple TV+ continues to expand its original programming with high-profile collaborations, and this series is positioned as a potential tentpole for the platform. A release date has not yet been announced, but with the countdown nearing completion, additional details are expected by the end of the week.
