Pluribus was one of our favorite TV shows last year. Vince Gilligan's bold science fiction series imagined a world where all of humanity, with the exception of 13 individuals, including the show's protagonist Carol Sturka (Rhea Seehorn), is absorbed into a hive mind because of an alien virus.
The show was a critical and commercial hit for Apple TV, with our Pluribus season one review calling it "easily one of the year's best and most enjoyable US dramas, and a distinctive, singular vision." It could have looked very, very different, however...
For her part, star Rhea Seehorn seemed relieved that the show didn't go down this path, saying, "Oh my God, thank you … Can you imagine … if I had to try to act with 300 naked people?"
Pluribus season 2 is currently in the works, though it's not expected to land this year. At an Apple TV press day in February, Gilligan noted that, "It takes a long time to come up with these episodes. We are deeper into the process at this moment than I would like, considering how few episodes we have figured out. But it takes some time, just as it did in the first season. And we appreciate everybody's patience. But it ain’t gonna be The Pitt coming back every year. I wish it would be 'cause I think that's an awesome show."
