File under: "reasons to be happy that the older you get, the faster time goes by"
Vince Gilligan will team up with David Shore, the writer behind House, for his next project, a detective drama called Battle Creek.
It will be Gilligan's second series post-Breaking Bad; he is also working on spin-off series Better Call Saul, featuring the show's sleazy lawyer, Saul Goodman.
Battle Creek was first developed by The X Files veteran Gilligan a decade ago, before Breaking Bad elevated him to the Hollywood top table.
He is making a 13-part series for CBS, the network for whom he previously developed it in 2002. It is expected to broadcast in 2014.
Battle Creek tells the story of two detectives in the Michigan town of the same name who have contrasting approaches to law enforcement to do it by the book, or by whatever means necessary.

(60,010 posts)7. I am very curious about the new Saul series.
If Gilligan is doing it, it should be a cut above the usual tv fare.
