Rhea Seehorn will be again seen with the co-creator Vince Gilligan, as they are all set to start their new endeavor with the Apple TV+ series. Vince Gilligan earned reputable recognition after he created AMC's 'Breaking Bad', and its spin-off series 'Better Call Saul'.

According to Entertainment, the renowned creator, Vince Gilligan was "all praises" while giving his statement and seemed very happy. He said, '"After 15 years, I figured it was time to take a break from writing antiheroes… and who's more heroic than the brilliant Rhea Seehorn?"  "It's long past time she had her own show, and I feel lucky to get to work on it with her. And what nice symmetry to be reunited with Zack Van Amburg, Jamie Erlicht, and Chris Parnell [former Sony executives now at Apple TV+]! Jamie and Zack were the first two people to say yes to 'Breaking Bad' all those years ago. They've built a great team at Apple, and my wonderful, longtime partners at Sony Pictures Television and I are excited to be in business with them," Gilligan said in a statement.
