Vince Gilligan has a third hit series on his hands following the debut of his AppleTV science fiction mind-bender Pluribus. However, it was a long road to actually titling the series. In a recent panel appearance at New York Comic Con moderated by Happy Sad Confused host Josh Horowitz, Gilligan revealed that the series went through a litany of potential titles before settling on its current moniker. According to Gilligan, “We were in a title desert for two or three years.” Understandably, the series’ science fiction high-concept is difficult to sum up in a single word or phrase, meaning that some truly dire titles were suggested in the planning stage.
