May 13—Vince Gilligan is back.

The award-winning producer and creator is at the helm of an untitled project which has been filming in New Mexico since March.

On Monday, the New Mexico Film Office announced that the project is filming in and around Albuquerque.

Gilligan was part of the creative team behind both "Breaking Bad" and "Better Call Saul."

According to Gilligan when the series was announced months ago, he is taking a break from the "Breaking Bad" universe.

The new series will star Rhea Seehorn, who starred in "Better Call Saul" as Kim Wexler.

"I'm thrilled to be working in New Mexico again," Gilligan stated. "Story-wise, this new show could have been set anywhere in the United States. However, I keep returning to the Land of Enchantment for the beautifully cinematic landscape and to continue working with the best crew ever. They've been making me look good for seventeen years now, and I figure, 'Why fix it if it ain't broke?' "

Amber Dodson, New Mexico Film Office director, said the production will employ over 1,400 New Mexicans, including more than 500 crew members, 100-plus principal actors, and more than 800 background talent.

"Mr. Gilligan has not only showcased many regions of New Mexico in his multiple series made here, but his acclaimed productions have been an incredible boost for our local industry, workforce, and economy," Dodson stated. "We are thrilled to collaborate once again on a new project with the visionary Mr. Gilligan."

Gilligan hasn't revealed too much information about the series. It will be aired on Apple TV+ and Sony Pictures Television is also producing.
