Pluribus is set to be Apple TV’s next major sci-fi series and is among the most highly anticipated premieres this fall. The full-length trailer released today offers an exciting preview of what audiences can expect from the series, which comes from Vince Gilligan, the visionary behind renowned shows like Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.
Scheduled to launch on Friday, November 7, Pluribus will release its first two episodes, with subsequent episodes rolling out weekly until December 26. The series has already garnered attention, having been approved for a second season ahead of its premiere, highlighting the confidence Apple TV has in this new project.
Although Apple has not revealed extensive details about the storyline, it is described as a “genre-bending” sci-fi drama. The newly released trailer builds on the earlier teaser that suggested themes reminiscent of shows like Severance. While specifics are mostly under wraps, the plot revolves around Rhea Seehorn’s character, Carol, who stands out as the only unhappy individual in a world brimming with happiness. Apple’s summarized version of the premise states: “the most miserable person on Earth must save the world from happiness,” hinting at both dramatic and comedic elements.
As anticipation builds for its debut, viewers are encouraged to share their thoughts on the trailer and whether they plan to watch Pluribus upon its release. Apple TV subscribers can access Pluribus and other popular series, including Ted Lasso, Severance, The Morning Show, Silo, and Shrinking, for $12.99 per month.
With such a promising premise and the pedigree of its creator, Pluribus is shaping up to be a noteworthy addition to Apple TV’s lineup, appealing to both sci-fi fans and followers of Gilligan’s previous work.
