Rhea Seehorn And Vince Gilligan's Apple TV+ Series Reveals Title And Fall Premiere Date — Get A First Look

We've been waiting not so patiently for news about Rhea Seehorn's new Apple TV+ series with Vince Gilligan — and now we finally have a name to call it, at least.

The upcoming sci-fi series, which reunites Seehorn with Better Call Saul co-creator Gilligan, is titled Pluribus, and it premieres Friday, Nov. 7 on the streamer with the first two episodes, TVLine has learned. Gilligan, who also created Saul's forerunner Breaking Bad, will serve as writer and showrunner.

Pluribus is described as "a genre-bending original in which the most miserable person on Earth must save the world from happiness." Along with Seehorn, the cast includes Karolina Wydra (Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) and Carlos Manuel Vesga (The Hijacking of Flight 601), and guest stars Miriam Shor (Younger) and Samba Schutte (Our Flag Means Death).

Apple TV+ has also released a (kinda gross) first-look teaser for the series, with a woman licking every donut in a box next to a sign saying, "Help Yourself!" Watch it here:

Much of Pluribus is still shrouded in mystery, but the title seems to come from the U.S. motto "E pluribus unum," or Latin for "out of many, one." (So the word "many" is a key, somehow.) Plus, Apple TV+ released a teaser image for the series, featuring what looks like a petri dish with a smiley face drawn in some unknown substance, with the tagline: "Happiness Is Contagious." Does the story revolve around some sort of lab-grown virus, perhaps?

Gilligan dropped some teases about Pluribus a while back: "I wouldn't call this heavy science fiction, I would call it mild science fiction... There's no crime, and no methamphetamine. It's going to be fun and different." He added that "Rhea will be playing a very different character than she played on Saul" and "the world changes very abruptly in the first episode, and then it is quite different... and the consequences that that reaps hopefully provide drama for many, many episodes after that."

The series was first announced in September 2022, with Apple TV+ handing it a two-season order. Seehorn recently wrapped up a six-season run as attorney Kim Wexler on Better Call Saul, earning two Emmy nominations for best supporting actress in a drama.
