Breaking Bad Creator Doesn't Want Walter White to Be His Legacy

Vince Gilligan hopes Rhea Seehorn's Carol Strucka can be the new, more heroic, Walter White in his new series Pluribus.

Walter White, the meek science teacher turned notorious drug lord Heisenberg, remains one of the most iconic figures in television history.

“As much as I love Walter White and as proud as I am of Breaking Bad—and as much as I know that it’ll be the first sentence in my obituary—at a certain point, you’re like, ‘God, it’d be nice to write a hero again, someone who’s trying to do the right thing,'”

Gilligan expressed this sentiment to Hollywood Reporter, indicating his desire to move beyond Walter White's legacy.
