Premise
editThe series is set in a present-day Albuquerque, New Mexico that faced an abrupt change away from the world as it is known.[1]
Cast
edit- Rhea Seehorn
- Karolina Wydra as Ana
Production
editAfter finishing Better Call Saul, Vince Gilligan pitched a new series that he would develop in August 2022 with Sony Pictures Television.[2] The following month, Apple TV+ won the rights to the show, giving it a two-season order. Gilligan serves as showrunner and executive producer, and Rhea Seehorn was cast in the lead role.[3]
Writing for the first season was interrupted by the 2023 WGA strike, but Gilligan and his writers' room regrouped in October 2023 to finish the last two episodes. The strike also pushed back the plans to begin shooting, possibly into the cold winter in Albuquerque, New Mexico.[1] In March 2024, Karolina Wydra was cast in the series as well.[4]
Filming ultimately began on the series by February 2024,[5] and is currently set to finish in September 2024 after 7 months of production in Albuquerque, New Mexico under the possible codename Wycaro 339.[6]
