The series will star Rhea Seehorn, who played Kim Wexler in 'Better Caul Saul.' Gilligan will be the executive producer of the film project.
Gilligan said he could have picked to film this story anywhere but chose the Land of Enchantment.
"I keep returning to the Land of Enchantment for the beautifully cinematic landscape and to continue working with the best crew ever," Gilligan said. "They've been making me look good for seventeen years now, and I figure, 'why fix it if it ain't broke?'"
The project is set to employ more than 1,400 New Mexicans, according to NMFO. There will be more than 500 crew members, more than 100 principal actors and 800 or more background talent.
