Pluribus Reunites Rhea Seehorn and Breaking Bad Creator Vince Gilligan on Apple TV

Apple TV is diving back into the world of high-stakes storytelling with Pluribus, a new original series from acclaimed writer and director Vince Gilligan. The nine-episode drama premieres globally on Friday, November 7, 2025, with its first two episodes streaming on Apple TV+. New episodes will follow each Friday through December 26.

The series stars Emmy-nominated actor Rhea Seehorn, reuniting her with Gilligan after their award-winning run on Better Call Saul. This time, Seehorn plays author Carol Sturka, a woman who seems to be the only person immune to an unexplained virus that transforms the rest of the world into unnaturally happy citizens. It’s a concept that flips the idea of joy on its head, exploring what happens when one person’s misery becomes humanity’s last line of defense.

Filmed in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Pluribus continues Gilligan’s tradition of blending character-driven drama with darkly inventive storytelling. The series also stars Carlos Manuel Vesga (The Hijacking of Flight 601), Karolina Wydra (Sneaky Pete), Miriam Shor (American Fiction), and Samba Schutte (Our Flag Means Death).

The production is handled by Sony Pictures Television, with Gilligan leading an impressive team of executive producers including Gordon Smith, Alison Tatlock, Diane Mercer, Allyce Ozarski, and Jeff Frost. Jenn Carroll and Trina Siopy serve as co-executive producers. The show has already been picked up for a two-season order, signaling strong confidence from Apple in its creator’s vision.

For fans of Gilligan’s past work, Pluribus looks to carry the same level of tension and emotional grit that made Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul cultural touchstones. But this time, the danger isn’t greed or crime, it’s the idea of forced happiness in a world where one woman’s discontent might be the only thing keeping reality in balance.
