Vince Gilligan’s mysterious new project, which has wrapped production in Albuquerque, apparently goes by the title “Wycaro 339.” They’ve filmed 10 episodes. Gilligan has hinted that the project felt like a return to his roots (“The X-Files”).
We now have an update (via LNE). Gilligan was asked about the current timeline of his show, and is confirming that he expects a release on Apple TV+ sometime “in the summer of 2025, or a little later.” So, we might be getting this one much sooner than expected.
This is a big test for Gilligan as his last two acclaimed shows (“Breaking Bad” and “Better Call Saul”) were very much part of the same world. The showrunner is now branching out into what is rumored to be a sci-fi project. ‘Saul’ star Rhea Seehorn is the lead.
Anytime I have the chance, I ask around about this series. It’s shrouded in total secrecy and barely any hints have shown up. Someone had previously disclosed to me that it was “neo-apocalyptic" in nature, and that it might have to do with Aliens, disguised as humans, who try to cause chaos in the world. I contacted Apple for confirmation, and they obviously declined to comment.
