Vince Gilligan Discloses He Knows How The Apple TV+ Show Will Conclude... For Now.

The acclaimed writer-producer never anticipated that the Apple TV+ show would turn into a breakout success. “God bless the fans,” he states. “It was unexpected the show being as talked about as it is, and it makes me deliriously happy.”

Now that Season 1 of the popular sci-fi show wrapping up—and Season 2 officially in the works—the writers' room opened up about the audience reaction and whether it will impact the storyline of Pluribus.

Regarding the Overwhelming Viewer Reception

Anyone might to get distracted by the rampant praise and audience predictions surrounding Pluribus. He is doing his best to steer clear of all that.

“It feels like an endless supply of hot fudge sundaes and being laughing uncontrollably,” he says. “It's wonderful, but I learn of it from others, and that's on purpose. Not once have I searched for my own name online, nor do I ever want to. Not because I don't care. It's a deep trap I know I would fall into and then I'd be living in squalor from Home Depot and I'd never leave my living room.”

Despite trying to stay away, there’s no escaping the overwhelmingly positive response to the series. The most practical strategy is to acknowledge it humbly and try not to let it influence the direction of the show.

“We make no attempt to adjust our writing,” says Alison Tatlock. “The narrative we craft is not changed by online forums.”

“It's wiser to keep our noses to the grindstone,” Gilligan adds.

The Central Mystery: Has Vince Gilligan See the Ending of Pluribus?

Given that the creative staff are not listening by audience theories, can we assume they have already decided how Pluribus will finally conclude? In short yes… sort of.

“We have some compelling concepts about the ultimate destination,” Gilligan reveals. “however, we remain prepared to throw out a good idea for a superior concept. That has held us in well on Better Call Saul and on Breaking Bad even before that. We change course when we find a more perfect path and I imagine we will be doing that.”

Then again, if all else fails, Gordon Smith has a rather amusing idea to use as a backup.

“I keep pitching that everything takes place within a snow globe, and that we'll reveal the snow globe and that's where they've been all along,” he says humorously, “but no one is buying it.”

Alternatively, why mess with the classics?

“I want Carol to awaken beside Bob Newhart,” Gilligan says with a smile.

Pluribus is streaming now on the streaming service.
