SPOILERS: This post contains details about the Pluribus, Season 1 episode ‘The Gap’
As a growing fandom dissects every detail about Pluribus, creator Vince Gilligan is hoping viewers keep spoilers to a minimum.
The Golden Globe winner recently reacted to a Google Earth image that spoiled the conclusion of last week’s episode ‘The Gap’, which sees Carol (Rhea Seehorn) signal a truce to the ‘Others’ with giant letters in her cul-de-sac spelling “come back.”
Chalking it up to “people trying to figure out what’s gonna happen next,” he told Dexerto, “I’m all for it. I do that myself.”

“People trying to ruin it for other people, that’s where I draw the line,” added Gilligan.
Gilligan’s comments come after fans took to social media with a screenshot of the Albuquerque, New Mexico neighborhood where the show is filmed, revealing the plot point days before the episode aired.
Writer/director Gordon Smith echoed the sentiment. “It’s nice that people are engaged and interested,” he explained. “I feel like [it’s fine] when people can keep that to themselves and say, ‘Look, I found something,’ and not try and make it so that other people get screwed up.”
Seehorn recently teased the upcoming finale to Deadline: “It’s bananas. The same as the first episode. I have virtually the same reaction to all of them. I’m like, ‘What!?’ Then I’m like, ‘Holy crap. All right, let’s go.’ I mean, They read so beautifully. I knew when I was reading the scripts [that] this would be the kind of show that I would love. I would be obsessed with this show even if I didn’t get to be in it.
“So it’s just been a huge reward to get to play it, and to get to be kind of the the audience’s access point in going down this rabbit hole,” added Seehorn. “As far as the finale, I loved it. I was immediately, desperately needing Season 2. They are in the writers room now, and I have not asked any questions yet. I might just be surprised, right along with the audience. I’ll play it before they’ll see it, but I might, I might wait. I don’t know.”
