Pluribus creator Vince Gilligan once pondered that the extras who make up the hive mind on the dystopian future show should be naked. In addition, he regaled that a top Sony TV executive wasn’t a fan early on of his multi-Emmy winning Breaking Bad, which the studio ultimately produced.

Such stories were part of a panel that he and Pluribus star Rhea Seehorn participated in today at SXSW called, “Albuquerque Aftermath: From Breaking Bad to Pluribus.”

“We talked about they didn’t need to wear clothes at all, but we’re not working for HBO,” Gilligan shared, “But then we thought, we can’t do that to all these extras. We can’t all be naked.”

Seehorn added, laughing, “Can you imagine … if I had to try to act with 300 naked people?”
