"As far as a prime directive, it is always: A) how can we make this show look different than any other show on TV? That's the most important one,"
"And B, how can we make the show look and sound and feel different from the other shows we've already done?"
"I wait as long as I can, and I have as much figured out, at least with the first episode, as possible,"
"And in this case, I had the luxury of having a completely written first script, I think actually, possibly a completely written first two scripts."
Vince Gilligan dedicated a decade to conceiving a new series and required it to be entirely unlike his previous work. He set a prime directive to make the show look, sound, and feel different from anything else on television. Pluribus is a large-scale sci-fi story that remains intimate, centering on a protagonist facing an ordeal with global consequences. Gilligan developed scripts before bringing collaborators on board and initially considered a male lead before deciding to write the role for Rhea Seehorn. Seehorn portrays Carol Sturka, a grumpy bestselling romance author who becomes the story's reluctant hero. Production commenced after Seehorn agreed to star and long-time crew were engaged.
