The show, which comes from TV genius Vince Gilligan (the mind behind Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul), was already highly anticipated, but the numbers just proved its runaway success. Apple TV announced this week that Pluribus is officially their most successful new drama series debut ever, beating out the intense viewership set by Severance season two earlier this year. That is huge, and right there in the middle of this sci-fi phenomenon is The Young and the Restless’ Jack Abbott.
For longtime fans, seeing the man they knew as Cliff Warner on All My Children in the 1980s, and of course, Jack Abbott on The Young and the Restless since 1989, jump into a premium sci-fi/drama is such a joy. It's a reminder of the deep talent pool that daytime television holds. Viewers were absolutely thrilled to see a familiar soap opera favorite in such a cutting-edge, buzzed-about project.
From a Softball Game to a Streaming Smash Hit
But the story of how Peter Bergman ended up in this record-breaking series is even cooler than the surprise appearance itself. He actually got the job because he’s good friends with Vince Gilligan, thanks to a friendship that goes back over four decades with…Gilligan’s famous fictional meth cook from Breaking Bad, Bryan Cranston! Peter and Bryan met on the softball field when they were both doing soap operas in New York back in the day, Bergman on All My Children and Cranston on Loving.
