Though post-apocalyptic stories have become an expectation in the film and TV industry, Vice Gilligan‘s 2025 sci-fi, Pluribus, pushes the boundaries. Set in his favorite setting, Albuquerque, New Mexico, the series introduces viewers to Carol Sturka (Rhea Seehorn), a local author whose life shifts after learning that she’s one out of a dozen people on earth who hasn’t been affected by the extraterrestrial hive mind virus.

Pluribus follows fantasy romance author Carol Sturka (Seehorn), who finds out at the end of episode 1 that she’s one of the last few humans on earth with their own mind. Humanity has been exposed to an extraterrestrial virus, which infected people with a peaceful and content hive mind. Carol and a dozen other people on the planet are immune to it — at least for now.
@varietymagazine #VinceGilligan says he currently envisions #Pluribus running for four seasons — but as with BreakingBad, the show’s trajectory could always change. “Take it with a grain of salt because when people asked me at this point in the run of ‘Breaking Bad’ how long it should go, I would say two or three seasons,” Gilligan told Variety. “And then I wound up going six, which I think was perfect.” Gilligan attended PaleyFest NY on Friday night with Pluribus stars #RheaSeehorn and Karolina Wydra, less than 24 hours after the first two episodes premiered on AppleTV.
All current episodes are streaming on Apple TV+, where incoming episodes are released weekly on Fridays.
