Vince Gilligan's new sci-fi series Pluribus, starring Rhea Seehorn, continues its first season on Apple TV with episodes dropping weekly. The show, a slow-burn thriller set in New Mexico, follows a romance writer facing a global crisis. Four episodes remain after the first five have aired.
Overview
Pluribus marks Vince Gilligan's return to television following Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. The creator, known for his work on The X-Files in the 1990s, delivers a character-driven sci-fi story with post-apocalyptic elements. Rhea Seehorn, who previously starred in Better Call Saul, plays a romance writer dissatisfied with her life, only to confront a threat to humanity. Fans of Gilligan's style can expect a gradual unfolding narrative and potential easter eggs from his earlier New Mexico-set projects, though connections remain subtle given Seehorn's dual roles across shows.
The series is described as unlike anything else, reinventing the thriller genre in real time. It is best experienced without spoilers, emphasizing trust in Gilligan's storytelling.
