Vince Gilligan’s Pluribus Premieres on Apple TV+ With Strong Reviews and a Pre‑Ordered Season 2

Early notices spotlight Rhea Seehorn’s commanding lead performance as Apple launches a deliberately paced sci‑fi drama already backed for more.

Overview

  • Apple TV+ debuts the first two episodes on November 7, with the remaining seven rolling out weekly through December 26.
  • Critics screened seven episodes in advance and widely praised the show’s slow-burn execution and Seehorn’s performance.
  • Apple has greenlit a second season ahead of the premiere, signaling confidence in the series.
  • Gilligan emphasizes the series stands apart from Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul despite the Albuquerque setting and Seehorn’s return.
  • An early Entertainment Weekly clip, as reported by other outlets, suggests the story’s inciting phenomenon may involve an extraterrestrial signal.
