Vince Gilligan Dives into Science Fiction with New Apple TV Series, Pluribus

Vince Gilligan, best known for Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, is venturing into science fiction with his new Apple TV series, Pluribus.

Before its premiere, Apple TV has already renewed Pluribus for a second season, signaling strong confidence in the series. The first season consists of nine episodes, with the first two premiering this Friday, followed by weekly releases until Christmas. Pluribus centers on the seemingly absurd premise of the world’s unhappiest person tasked with saving the planet from… happiness, a concept that suggests Gilligan’s trademark blend of dark humor and thought-provoking moral questions. The series promises sharp storytelling and complex dilemmas. Pluribus is now available for streaming on Apple TV.

Rhea Seehorn Joins Vince Gilligan’s Unusual ‘Pluribus’ Universe for Season 2 on Apple TV+

Rhea Seehorn, acclaimed for her role in Better Call Saul, reunites with Vince Gilligan in Pluribus, taking on a new role within this distinctive universe. She stars alongside Karolina Wydra (True Blood), Carlos Manuel Vesga (Narcos), Miriam Shor (The Americans), and Samba Schutte (Our Flag Means Death). Many of the cast and crew have worked together previously on Apple TV series such as Ted Lasso and Severance. Behind the scenes, the series is produced by Gordon Smith, Alison Tatlock, Diane Mercer, Jeff Frost, Jenn Carroll, and Trina Siopy. Pluribus’s unusual premise—the world’s unhappiest person saving the planet from happiness—and the early renewal for a second season highlight the anticipation surrounding Gilligan’s latest project.
