Vince Gilligan’s Pluribus Premieres Friday on Apple TV+ as Early Reviews Praise Rhea Seehorn

Gilligan positions the series as a standalone pivot from his crime sagas.

Overview

  • Apple TV+ launches the first two episodes on November 7, with weekly Fridays through December 26 for a nine-episode season.
  • Set in a transformed world linked by a hive mind, the story follows Carol Sturka, seemingly the only person unaffected.
  • Entertainment Weekly released the opening four minutes, featuring a mysterious signal repeating every 78 seconds from roughly 600 lightyears away.
  • Early critics highlight Seehorn’s lead performance, meticulous craft, and slow-burn storytelling, with pacing noted as a potential hurdle for some viewers.
  • Apple pre-ordered two seasons, and Gilligan says he has a general roadmap that could run about three seasons, separate from the Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul universe.
