Many, many people have joined together to make Pluribus the most-watched show in Apple TV's history.
As confirmed by the streamer, the Vince Gilligan-created sci-fi mystery is now the most popular show on the streamer, though the total number of views and hours watched remain unclear. Unlike Netflix, Apple keeps its figures solely in-house.

Earlier this year, Severance raced past Ted Lasso to beat out the previous holder of the most-viewed show title on Apple TV (formerly Apple TV Plus).
If you're still one of the few holdouts not on board with Pluribus – Carol would approve, probably – then you're missing out. The Apple TV show sees romance author Carol Sturka become isolated after a hivemind takes over all but a dozen people on the globe. The series also stars Karolina Wydra as Zosia, Carol's hivemind 'chaperone', and Carlos-Manuel Vesga as fellow survivor Manousos. A second season has been greenlit.
Speaking earlier this year to GamesRadar+, Gilligan revealed he only wrote Pluribus with one person in mind – Rhea Seehorn, who he previously worked with on Better Call Saul.
"I wrote this show for her. I love her so much," Gilligan said. "We got to know her and enjoyed writing for her on Better Call Saul – so much so that I created this show just for her. I knew she would be good in it; I knew she was someone I could confidently count on and place a bet on in terms of making her the star of a TV show… I thought it was long past time for her to be a star."
