For many A second season has already been confirmed. Former X-Files writer and Breaking Bad Creator Vince Gilligan and his team are hard at work planning the next batch of episodes of his mystery sci-fi show, which debuts on Apple TV next month. But what about this? How many seasons does Gilligan plan to run? For many? Ahead of the series premiere, we asked the show's creator what to expect.
“If you put a gun to my head, I would say three seasons. At least I would hope for three seasons,” Gilligan tells Polygon.
Three seasons? Excellent, beautiful and neat. But, as the showrunner admits, plans change. After all, this is exactly what happened with his first major series.
“I said that in the early days Breaking Bad“They asked me, and I said, 'I think three seasons and that's it.'
The showrunner openly admits that he and his writers don't know the whole story. For many carefully planned. This gives them some wiggle room as the show evolves naturally and the audience reacts. But this freedom can also be scary.
“I’m nervous and excited,” Gilligan says. “We want to see what happens next. We have ideas, but we don't know for sure.”
Ultimately, the showrunner says his biggest concern is giving viewers too much rather than not enough. He points to his shows Breaking Bad And Better call Saul as examples of series that ended in the right place in their stories.
“I don't want to overstay our welcome,” says Gilligan. “I want audiences to want a little more. Maybe not more seasons, but at least a little more. In that regard, I think it's better and more appropriate to end a little sooner rather than later.”
For many The premiere will take place on November 7 on Apple TV.
