Vince Gilligan’s Pluribus Premieres Friday on Apple TV+ to Strong Early Reviews

Rhea Seehorn leads a standalone sci‑fi drama set in Albuquerque, not a Breaking Bad spin-off.

Overview

  • Apple TV+ launches the series on November 7 with two episodes, followed by weekly Friday releases through December 26.
  • The story centers on a global unification event that links humanity into a single hive mind, with Seehorn’s character uniquely unaffected.
  • Early reviews praise Seehorn’s performance and the show’s technical craft, while noting a deliberate, slow-burn pace.
  • Apple ordered two seasons in advance, and critics were given seven of the nine Season 1 episodes ahead of the public premiere.
  • Gilligan confirms the show is unrelated to Breaking Bad or Better Call Saul despite the Albuquerque setting and Seehorn’s return.
