Vince Gilligan’s ‘Pluribus’ Debuts Its Opening Scene Ahead of Apple TV+ Launch

Early reviews highlight a slow-burn sci‑fi drama anchored by Rhea Seehorn ahead of the two‑episode Apple TV+ premiere.

Overview

  • Apple TV+ premieres the first two episodes on Friday, November 7, followed by weekly releases through December 26 for a nine‑episode season.
  • Entertainment Weekly released the first four minutes, teasing the series’ inciting mystery without spelling out key plot details.
  • Rhea Seehorn stars as Carol Sturka, who appears to be the lone holdout from a global shift that leaves others unusually blissful.
  • Critics describe a meticulously crafted, philosophical slow burn with standout work from Seehorn; ComicBook.com rated it 4.5 out of 5.
  • Gilligan stresses the series is unrelated to Breaking Bad or Better Call Saul, confirms a two‑season Apple order, and says he has a general multi‑season roadmap in mind.
