Pluribus (stylized Plur1bus) is the latest series from Vince Gilligan, the creator of BreakingBad and BetterCallSaul. Ordered for two seasons and picked up by Apple TV+, the show draws on many elements familiar from Gilligan's past work. It marks his return to science fiction— his original genre during his time on The X-Files— and will be set in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Rhea Seehorn, who earned acclaim for her role in Better Call Saul, is set to star.
So far, much of the show is a mystery, but a few teaser trailers have been released. The first shows a woman licking donuts laid out on a table above a sign that reads "Help yourself" with a smiley face. The second shows a woman walking over and picking up the phone while the words "No pressure" appear. A phone number then appears. If you call the number, you are greeted with a message that says, "Hi Carol, we’re so glad you called. We can’t wait for you to join us. Dial 0 and we’ll get back to you via text message." If you do so, you are greeted with a text message allowing you to sign up for updates about the show.
While the teasers offer very little in the way of plot, they hint at something eerie and offbeat. The cryptic clues, the familiar face and the return of an iconic Gilligan setting, Pluribus is surely one of the most intriguing television releases of the year. Here's everything you need to know.

Key image art from Apple TV+This has yet to be fully answered, but there are a few clues that have been released. The show appears to be a change of pace from Gilligan's crime-centered work on Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, instead drawing more from the sci-fi elements of his earlier career on The X-Files. The central premise is cryptic but intriguing: The most miserable person on Earth must save the world from happiness. The phrase "pluribus" comes from Latin and suggests "one of many".

Who does Rhea Seehorn play in Pluribus?
Seehorn will play Carol. While not much is known about the character yet, the teaser trailers imply that she is being recruited by someone. When you sign up for updates about the show via text message, you receive a text that reads, "Please know your life is your own, Carol. You have agency!" This suggests that Carol may be resisting some larger force or influence, possibly tied to the show's mysterious “happiness contagion” concept. Vince Gilligan has described her as a “damaged hero” who’s trying hard to do good, placing her at the emotional center of the story.
The first two episodes of Pluribus will premiere on Friday, Nov. 7, followed by new episodes airing every Friday.
