Breaking Bad Creator Vince Gilligan's New Direction

Vince Gilligan, creator of Breaking Bad, expresses his desire to move beyond Walter White's legacy.

Gilligan's new series, Pluribus, features Rhea Seehorn as Carol Strucka, a character he hopes will be a more heroic figure.

Gilligan aims to create a new iconic character, distinct from the notorious Walter White, also known as Heisenberg.
