Vince Gilligan is staying put at Sony Pictures Television.
The creator of the Breaking Bad franchise has signed a four-year exclusive deal that continues his more than two decade-long creative partnership with the studio. Under his High Bridge production banner, he will continue to develop and produce scripted series for all platforms.
“Beyond being a legend and a true giant in our business, Vince Gilligan is an incredible human being, who is always looking out for and shining the spotlight on others,” said Katherine Pope, President of Sony Pictures Television Studios, in a statement. “He’s a humble genius, the rarest of the rare, and we couldn’t be prouder to continue our unprecedented partnership with him.”
“Every three or four years I figure it’s time to try someplace new…but then I remember I’ve got it pretty great at Sony Pictures Television,” added Gilligan in a statement. “I really like Katherine, Ravi, and all the folks there. They’re excellent partners who treat me well — and they do a fine job of looking out for Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul and now Pluribus. Therefore, I’m proud (and a little sad) to be working for Hollywood’s last independent studio. I think our industry would benefit from more of them.”
Gilligan’ next project is Pluribus starring Rhea Seehorn. The nine-episode drama will make its debut on Apple with its first two episodes on Friday, November 7, 2025, followed by new episodes every Friday through December 26.
Already picked up for a second season, Pluribus follows the most miserable person on Earth who must save the world from happiness. In addition to Seehorn, the series stars Karolina Wydra (True Blood) and Carlos-Manuel Vesga (Donde Tú Quieras), and guest stars Miriam Shor (Younger) and Samba Schutte (Our Flag Means Death).
Pluribus is produced by Sony Pictures Television and executive produced by Gilligan alongside Gordon Smith, Alison Tatlock, Diane Mercer, Allyce Ozarski, and Jeff Frost. Jenn Carroll and Trina Siopy serve as co-executive producers.
Gilligan is repped by CAA and Del Shaw Moonves Tanaka Finkelstein Lezcano Bobb & Dang.
