Apple recently shared the first full trailer for Pluribus, an upcoming sci-fi drama series hailing from Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan.
Pluribus stars Emmy-nominated actress Rhea Seehorn, who also starred in the Breaking Bad spinoff series Better Call Saul. Seehorn plays a woman named Carol, who is described as "the most miserable person on Earth." She must "save the world from happiness," suggesting that some kind of happiness virus has infected everyone but her.
Given that Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul are two of the most popular TV shows of all time, Pluribus may become the next must-watch series from Gilligan. It could easily become Apple TV's next big hit, after Ted Lasso and Severance.
In case you missed it, Apple TV+ is being rebranded as Apple TV. The first two episodes of Pluribus will be released on the streaming service on Friday, November 7, and a new episode will follow every Friday through December 26.
Apple has already picked up the series for a second season.
Pluribus is produced by Sony Pictures Television, and Gilligan serves as one of the executive producers and as a writer for some episodes.
Over the past few months, Apple has shared several mysterious clips from the show.
If you dial 202-808-3981, an automated message related to the show will play, and there is an option to sign up for promotional Apple TV text messages.
