It is completely unrelated to BB verse, Vince once said it’s science fiction based, mildly.

Well, I just came in my pants!!!

Returning to his x file roots, super psyched for some sci fi.

I know it will never happen but I love the idea of David Duchvony being Rhea's co-star; An awesome full circle

Man I hope the style is different, it's gonna be weird to see her around NM and not in the BB universe.

Yes, we got very much attached to Kim Wexler. Even it feels weird when I see her interviews as Rhea

That won't stop people from desperately trying to connect it to BB.

To be fair now that they're officially working on Albuquerque it probably also won't stop Vince from sprinkling in a handful of easter eggs and references, either.

They say it has no crime... Yet

It's an anthology with lowly supernatural elements, so episodic version of Killing Eve and Terror I guess

A sci-fi show in Albuquerque… interesting.

It is completely unrelated to BB verse, Vince once said it’s science fiction based, mildly.

The fact that it's not taking place in the BB universe makes me more interested in the show. the BB Universe ended, it came to an incredibly satisfying conclusion and now it's over, I'm glad Vince isn't returning to that exact same creative well again but is instead working with the crew and actors he's gathered around him like a theater troupe and creating something new.

Well, the good thing about BB and BCS was the writers knew when to end the shows. They didn’t prolong just because of fandom.

Sci-fi in New Mexico... Roswell, perhaps?

I like how they misspell “Gilligan” like five times

I kept reading his name thinking I was wrong

I'm confused. Is this a joke? Gilligan is correct.

Looks like the article was updated about an hour ago. Maybe they fixed it? Idk I didn't see the misspelling.

Better Call Kim

Yep yep yep yep

I can hear that and no I don't like it

Watching her with someone else really gutted me, too.

So happy they keeping it in NM. If you’re ever in the area and visit, chances are you too will fall in love the locales

u/waleMc avatar

It's funny because I've been watching Breaking Bad / BCS commentaries and you can tell Vince was a little bummed about needing to shoot in New Mexico for budget reasons ... at first at least ... (other people on the commentary track always swoop in to defend New Mexico's role in the show.)

I think he wanted the infrastructure that exists in California like few if any other place on Earth in that it's specifically designed with filmmaking in mind ... plus that's where he lived.

Now that I've said all that, I can say that it seems like he's definitely come around to liking the state at this point. I don't know the details but I imagine he chose NM this time around, compared to it being a necessity like it was for Breaking Bad.

u/cinepresto avatar

He bought a house there. They call it land of entrapment because once you go, you easily fall in love and never want to leave

u/Ishmaelteckomam avatar

They call it land of entrapment because police don't have to read you your Miranda rights there /s The real name is Land of Enchantment

TIL I’m too old. I thought this was about a Gilligan’s Island reboot.

I did, too 😂

Unreasonably excited for this

I almost jumped out of my seat when I saw the headline!! I'm so excited to see what new stories we'll get from these two masters of television.

Kimbo! 👉👉

I read that in Jimmy Neutron's dad's voice.

I'm super excited hopefully I'll see her around ABQ! I'm still bummed out I didn't see Tony Dalton when he was filming here a couple of weeks ago 🥲

It’s Rhea trying on shoes for an entire hour every episode until credits roll. Magic 🪄

Don’t mind if I do…

I can see her as Ginger but I think I'd prefer her as Mary Anne

I’m so excited to see what he cooks up outside of a Breaking Bad storyline. Also wonder how many people will try to say it’s set in the same universe because of similar landmarks/filming locations. DAE see the rock that Hank took a shit behind in season one?

u/Gremlinsworth avatar

“New Gilligan series” made me first imagine a Gilligan’s Island remake with Rhea playing a female Gilligan. NGL I was excited..

u/Inevitable-Smile1397 avatar

so fucking excited for this!! i hope he ends up including other known cast members such as Michael Mando too. i haven’t seen him in anything in a while 🤔

NACHO!

Yup yup yup......yup

u/Hbella456 avatar

If this isn’t “The Adventures of Giselle Saint Claire,” I say we all give Vince a good ol fashioned Chicago Sunroof!

u/Logical-Patience-397 avatar

But we don’t have Chuck to bail us out this time… And it is going to be unrelated to the BB/BCS universe.

u/Hbella456 avatar

We never needed Chuck! Ever!

Is KOAT just Now realizing this?? Its been filming since March

New crew of writers and directors though probably? I really wish the whole team stuck together to make a new show. It would’ve been guaranteed gold

I'm absolutely in love with the fact that Vince Gilligan and company have turned Albuquerque into their own mini-Hollywood all because they filmed the pilot of Breaking Bad there to save money almost 20 years ago.

u/MessageMePuppies avatar

Didn't read article nor check subreddit: They are rebooting Gilligan's Island?!

u/elvinjoker avatar

Is it new x file?

The Truth is Out There...

I want lalo salamanca story …. Salamanca family story

Rhea is the most elegant lady I have seen till now

u/V48runner avatar

Her on an island with some other castaways?

u/MyNutsin1080p avatar

Besides the first mention of Gilligan, they called him “Gillian” in every other mention.

“Albuquerque Kim”

Link unavailable outside the united states.

u/ackchanticleer avatar

Honestly, its not much. Its only about 15 seconds long and its basically the news station apparently just now realizing that Vince and Rhea are filing a new show in ABQ even though they have already been filing since March

I hope it does well, bobs show didn’t make it pass one season

Bobs show didn’t have Gilligan. Big difference lol.

This is the Kim spinoff- is that correct

It’s going to be Kim in an alternate reality 😂

u/ComiendoPorotos avatar

VRAVO BINCE

100% a movie about Kim. The story about another show is just a ruse to keep people off their tracks

I thought this was something about a new Gilligan’s Island for a sec lol

u/drp2000jd avatar

pimento: an origin story

u/drp2000jd avatar

I heard there's talk of pimento cheese here

I hope it’s completely disconnected from BB and BCS

Bring us a Gus show asap!!!

Is it confirmed it's BB/BCS related?

u/rendumguy avatar

It's confirmed unrelated

u/Fluid-Imbecility avatar
Edited

Yes, it's totally new. So far we know it probably has some scifi elements and the main character is more of a good protagonist rather than the anti-heroes of BB and BCS. I'm beyond excited, especially because Rhea Seehorn is so unbelievably good at acting.
