3ms
Get ready for a mind-bending journey. From Vince Gilligan, the visionary behind *Better Call Saul*, comes **PLUR1BUS**, an ambitious new science fiction drama exclusively for Apple TV. Starring the incredible Rhea Seehorn, fresh off her acclaimed run with Gilligan, this series promises to be unlike anything you've seen before. Apple has already committed to two seasons, with the first two episodes dropping on November 7, 2025, kicking off a nine-episode season.
Imagine a world where an inexplicable virus sweeps across the globe, transforming everyone into a state of perfect contentment. Everyone, that is, except for Carol Sturka. Set against the backdrop of Albuquerque, New Mexico, this historical romance author is the sole immune individual in a population blissfully unaware of their own altered reality.
Joining Rhea Seehorn in the lead role are Karolina Wydra as Zosia and Carlos Manuel Vesga as Manousos. We'll also see compelling guest performances from Miriam Shor as Helen, Samba Schutte, and Peter Bergman.
The genesis of **PLUR1BUS** began in August 2022, shortly after the conclusion of *Better Call Saul*. Vince Gilligan, collaborating with Sony Pictures Television, pitched this captivating new concept. Apple TV secured the rights in September 2022, immediately greenlighting a two-season order. Gilligan stepped into the role of showrunner and executive producer, with Rhea Seehorn taking center stage.
The path to production wasn't without its challenges. The 2023 Writers Guild of America strike temporarily halted writing for the first season, but Gilligan and his team regrouped to finalize the final episodes. This also impacted filming schedules, with production eventually commencing in February 2024 in Albuquerque, under the working title "Wycaro 339." Filming wrapped in September 2024, lasting seven months. Karolina Wydra joined the cast in March 2024. The official title, **Pluribus**, and its November 2025 release were announced in July 2025.
Prepare for an exclusive first look. An invitation-only screening of the first two episodes took place in New York City on October 10, 2025. The official premiere of **Pluribus** is November 7, 2025, on Apple TV, with new episodes rolling out every Friday through December 26.
Marketing for the series has been as intriguing as the show itself. Teaser trailers have featured a mysterious phone number, (202) 808-3981. When dialed, it plays a cryptic message, and subsequent text messages have addressed recipients as "Carol," hinting at the unfolding mystery and inviting them to special advance screenings.
