The 'Breaking Bad' Creator Reveals He Has an Idea of How Pluribus Will Conclude... At the Moment.

The creative mastermind did not foresee that his new science-fiction series would emerge as a cultural phenomenon. “God bless the fans,” he remarks. “It was unexpected the show being as widely discussed as it is, and it makes me deliriously happy.”

As the debut season of the popular series coming to an end—and the next chapter greenlit and underway—the creative team recently discussed the viewer reception and whether it will influence the storyline of Pluribus.

About the Overwhelming Viewer Reception

It would be easy to get swayed by the constant speculation and online debates regarding Pluribus. He is making a conscious effort to steer clear of all that.

“It's like being force fed hot fudge sundaes and being in a state of bliss,” he explains. “It's amazing, but I hear about it anecdotally, and that's intentional. I have never Googled myself, nor do I ever intend to. It's quite the opposite. It's a bottomless pit I know I would disappear down and then I'd be living in squalor from Home Depot and I'd never leave my living room.”

In spite of trying to stay away, there’s no way to avoid the immensely favorable response to the series. The only approach for the writers is to acknowledge it humbly and try not to let it influence the direction of the show.

“It is not our goal to tailor anything,” says Alison Tatlock. “The narrative we craft is not influenced by audience chatter.”

“We prefer to keep our heads down and working,” Gilligan adds.

The Central Mystery: Has the creator Have a Plan for the Ending of Pluribus?

So if the creative staff are not listening by audience theories, can we assume they have mapped out how Pluribus will finally conclude? The answer is yes… in a way.

“We have some potential directions about the ultimate destination,” he states. “however, we remain prepared to discard a solid concept for a more brilliant plan. That has held us in excellent shape on Better Call Saul and on Breaking Bad even before that. We change course when we get a better idea and I imagine we will be doing that.”

Alternatively, if all else fails, executive producer Gordon Smith has a pretty funny idea to serve as a last resort.

“My recurring proposal is that the entire story is inside a snow globe, and that we'll pull back at the end and that's where they've been all along,” Smith quips, “but no one is buying it.”

Alternatively, why not reference the legendary finales?

“I'd love for Carol to awaken with Bob Newhart there,” Gilligan says with a smile.

Pluribus can be watched on Apple TV.
