Apple today announced a new series from Vince Gilligan, the creator of Breaking Bad. The series is called ‘Pluribus’ and stars Rhea Seehorn (Better Call Saul). It will premiere on Apple TV+ on November 7.
It appears to be a mysterious sci-fi thriller in which “the most miserable person on Earth must save the world from happiness”. You can watch the 30-second teaser after the break:
Obviously, the show is highly-anticipated given the pedigree of the people behind it. Apple is also promoting the series with pop-up events this weekend at San Diego Comic-Con.
The short teaser seemingly shows a prison guard (not played by Seehorn) licking donuts. You can expect a full trailer to follow in the coming months, ahead of the series premiere in November. For now, more plot details remain firmly under wraps.
To be clear, the series is not set in the world of Breaking Bad. It is a wholly independent original story. Alongside Seehorn, the cast includes Karolina Wydra, Carlos-Manuel Vesga and Samba Schutte.
Watch the first trailer here:
The Pluribus teaser was released today following a countdown with the cryptic tagline ‘Happiness is Contagious’.
Apple won the rights to the series all the way back in 2022. Under a competitive situation, Apple secured the show with a two-season upfront commitment, meaning the show is already renewed for a second season. The first season will comprise nine episodes.
