A prolonged countdown tease on Apple TV’s YouTube channel not too long ago ended and gifted affected person viewers with a 30-second teaser trailer that largely consists of Rhea Seehorn methodically licking donuts. Thus, the world was launched to Vince Gilligan’s subsequent sequence, Pluribus.

Sure, Vince Gilligan has escaped the Breaking Unhealthy universe and introduced Rhea Seehorn with him for one thing completely totally different. How totally different? There’s little data obtainable about Pluribus right now past what the discharge date teaser gives (the aforementioned donut licking, principally), however new particulars are slowly rolling in.

Pluribus follows Carol (Seehorn) who’s described as “essentially the most depressing particular person on Earth.” Fairly the declare given present circumstances, however Carol’s distress will seemingly come in useful as she quickly discovers that she should “save the world from happiness.” You’ll suppose that will take roughly 30 seconds, however Pluribus will reportedly obtain a nine-episode first season and has already been renewed for a second season.

Seehorn will likely be joined by not too long ago confirmed Pluribus forged members Karolina Wydra, Carlos-Manuel Vesga, Miriam Shor, and Samba Schutte. There’s no phrase but on their characters right now, and Shor and Schutte are at the moment being recognized as visitor stars.

Talking with Selection in 2023, Gilligan described Pluribus as “gentle science fiction” and a sequence during which “the world adjustments very abruptly within the first episode, after which it’s fairly totally different.” It’s not completely clear right now the place the extra sci-fi parts of the sequence come from, although it’s fascinating to listen to Gilligan say he’s “nervous” to see how individuals are going to react to this whole idea. His nerves can seemingly be partially attributed to the truth that Pluribus is about in Albuquerque and stars a Higher Name Saul participant, however is totally faraway from the universe of the Breaking Unhealthy exhibits. Gilligan even goes as far as to make clear that Pluribus incorporates “no crime, and no methamphetamine.”

Personally, licking free donuts appears like some type of crime, however Gilligan actually appears to need folks to know that he’s about to take a giant, bizarre swing that will not hit with these used to his latest methods. After all, those that got here to know Vince Gilligan by means of his work on The X-Recordsdata additionally know that he’s not afraid to strive some fascinating issues inside this style house.

Moreover, if creating two of essentially the most acclaimed dramatic sequence of the final 15+ years doesn’t earn you the fitting to get bizarre with funding from a significant streaming service, then we’re compelled to ask if the world is actually price saving from happiness and all different harmful forces.

Pluribus is about to debut on Apple TV on November 7.
