"After fifteen years, I figured it was time to take a break from writing antiheroes," Gilligan said in a statement. "And who's more heroic than the brilliant Rhea Seehorn? It's long past time she had her own show."
Chris Parnell co-stars. Apple execs Zack Van Amburg and Jamie Erlicht were at Sony Pictures Television when Gilligan created Breaking Bad.
The new show also hails from Sony Television. Apple did not announce a start of production or anticipated airdate.
Better Call Saul had its series finale on Aug. 15.
