The creative mastermind could not have predicted that Pluribus would emerge as a breakout success. “The viewers have been incredible,” Gilligan says. “I was surprised by the show being as talked about as it is, and it makes me deliriously happy.”
With the first season of the acclaimed series reaching its finale—and the next chapter already in development—Gilligan and his team recently discussed the audience reaction and whether it will influence the future direction of Pluribus.
One could easily to get distracted by the constant speculation and fan theories regarding Pluribus. Gilligan, however, is doing his best to steer clear of all that.
“It's like being constantly eating hot fudge sundaes and being tickled to death,” he says. “It's wonderful, but I learn of it through word of mouth, and that's on purpose. Not once have I Googled myself, nor do I ever intend to. It's not a lack of interest. It's a rabbit hole I know I would fall into and then I'd be pooping in a five gallon bucket from the hardware store and I'd never leave my living room.”
Regardless of his concerted efforts, there’s no way to avoid the extremely enthusiastic response to the series. The best he and his team can do is to acknowledge it humbly and try not to let it dictate the story of the show.
“We make no attempt to tailor anything,” says Alison Tatlock. “Our storytelling is not impacted by online forums.”
“It's wiser to keep our focus on the work,” he chimes in.
Given that Gilligan and his team aren't taking cues by audience theories, does it imply they have already decided how Pluribus will finally conclude? Essentially yes… with some caveats.
“There are some potential directions about the ultimate destination,” he states. “but we are always ready to throw out a solid concept for a more brilliant plan. This approach has served us in well on Better Call Saul and on Breaking Bad even before that. We scrap ideas when we conceive of something superior and I suspect we'll be doing that.”
On the other hand, if plans fall through, Gordon Smith has a pretty funny idea to use as a backup.
“I keep pitching that everything takes place within a snow globe, and that we'll reveal the snow globe and we're in there,” Smith quips, “but nobody's taking me up on that.”
Of course, why not reference the legendary finales?
“I'd love for Carol to wake up in bed beside Bob Newhart,” Gilligan says with a smile.
Pluribus can be watched on the streaming service.
