Overview
- Rhea Seehorn leads as Carol Sturka, with the official logline describing her as “the most miserable person on Earth” tasked with saving the world from happiness.
- The nine‑episode first season launches Nov. 7 on Apple TV+, and a second season has already been ordered.
- The story centers on an unexplained phenomenon that leaves the global population content and hive‑minded while the protagonist remains unaffected.
- Gilligan emphasized there will be no crossover with his Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul universe and said the Albuquerque setting reflects his desire to retain longtime crew.
- Framed as a high‑budget, high‑concept character study, the series lets Gilligan “write a hero” again, with Carol portrayed as imperfect yet intent on doing the right thing.
