**Vince Gilligan’s Post-Meth World: New Sci-Fi Series “Pluribus” Starring Rhea Seehorn Lands at Apple TV+**

LOS ANGELES, CA – Get ready for a world without crime or crystal meth! Vince Gilligan, the creative force behind “Breaking Bad” and “Better Call Saul,” is diving into the sci-fi genre with his new series, “Pluribus,” premiering November 7th on Apple TV+ with two episodes. The nine-episode first season will conclude on December 26th, and the series has already been greenlit for a second season.

The show marks a highly anticipated reunion between Gilligan and Rhea Seehorn, known for her role as Kim Wexler in “Better Call Saul.” Seehorn stars as Carol, described as “the most miserable person on Earth” who paradoxically “must save the world from happiness.” Plot details are currently shrouded in mystery, but Gilligan teased last year that “Pluribus” will feature a world that undergoes a sudden and dramatic shift in its very first episode, sparking dramatic consequences for many episodes to come.

Apple TV+ has also announced the supporting cast, including Karolina Wydra (“Sneaky Pete”) and Carlos-Manuel Vesga (“Donde Tú Quieras”) in starring roles, along with guest appearances by Miriam Shor (“American Fiction”) and Samba Schutte (“Our Flag Means Death”).

A cryptic 30-second teaser shows a woman in pink scrubs, donuts, and a mysterious box labeled “Help yourself” – offering only a tantalizing glimpse into the show’s enigmatic world.

“Pluribus,” produced by Sony Pictures Television, represents Gilligan’s first major project outside the “Breaking Bad” universe in 17 years (excluding the short-lived “Battle Creek”). Gilligan, along with Gordon Smith, Alison Tatlock, Diane Mercer, Allyce Ozarski, and Jeff Frost, serve as executive producers, with Jenn Carroll and Trina Siopy as co-executive producers.

As Gilligan revealed in a previous interview, fans can expect a departure from his previous work, with “no crime, and no methamphetamine” to be found. The series promises a unique blend of sci-fi intrigue and character-driven drama, making “Pluribus” a highly anticipated addition to Apple TV+’s growing roster of original content.
