🚨 Vince Gilligan’s “Pluribus” Lands on Apple TV+ This November — And It’s Wild
Albuquerque, but not as you know it. Vince Gilligan, the brilliant mind behind Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, is ready to bend genres—and maybe minds—with his latest creation: “Pluribus,” debuting on Apple TV+ on November 7, 2025.
If you were expecting another spin-off in the meth-verse, think again. Pluribus is not set in the world of Walter White. Instead, it promises a completely original sci-fi story that may just flip the entire “grim anti-hero” formula Gilligan mastered on its head.
👀 What Is Pluribus About?
Plot details are still largely under wraps—because Gilligan loves a good slow-burn mystery—but here’s what we do know:
Pluribus is a “genre-bending original in which the most miserable person on Earth must save the world from happiness.”
Yeah, you read that right. In true Gilligan fashion, it sounds completely unhinged… and somehow totally plausible.
Set in present-day Albuquerque, the show reportedly takes place in a world that has undergone an abrupt and unexplained transformation—a world where everyone might just be too happy. And naturally, that’s when things start to go sideways.
🌟 Rhea Seehorn Returns to the Gilligan-Verse (Sort Of)
Fan-favorite Rhea Seehorn (a.k.a. Kim Wexler from Better Call Saul) stars in Pluribus, marking another collaboration between her and Gilligan—this time, outside the legal-crime-drama sandbox.
Her role remains top secret, but if past performance is anything to go by, she’ll be carrying emotional complexity, dry wit, and possibly the fate of humanity itself on her shoulders.
📅 Release Schedule & Episodes
- Premiere Date: November 7, 2025
- Platform: Apple TV+
- Launch Format: First 2 episodes drop on Day 1
- Followed by: Weekly episodes every Friday
- Seasons: Already greenlit for two seasons
That early renewal? A strong signal that Apple knows this show has legs (and probably some very weird shoes on those legs).
🤯 Why Fans Should Be Hyped
- It’s Gilligan’s first series since Better Call Saul wrapped in 2022.
- He’s promising a tonal shift, pushing beyond crime into existential science fiction.
- The premise alone—”saving the world from happiness”—is more twisted than a Salamanca family tree.
- Apple TV+ is swinging big with this one, likely hoping it’s their Black Mirror meets The Leftovers moment.
🎬 Final Thoughts
After years of gritty desert drama and morally murky protagonists, Vince Gilligan is stepping into stranger, more philosophical territory—and dragging us all along for the ride. Whether Pluribus ends up being an allegory, a mind-bender, or just a deeply human sci-fi tale, one thing’s certain:
Albuquerque’s never seen anything like this.
