Image Credit: Apple TV+ From the creator of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, Pluribus is a bold new dystopian thriller from Vince Gilligan that reimagines what “a perfect world” really looks like. Now streaming, the series takes an unsettling turn on traditional sci-fi by imagining a society where forced happiness becomes the ultimate danger.
Starring Rhea Seehorn as Carol Sturka — described as “the most miserable person on Earth” — the story centers on a woman who becomes immune to a mysterious event that changes human emotion itself. With its nine-episode first season premiering on November 7, 2025, and a two-season order already in place, Pluribus blends social commentary, suspense, and dark humor in a world where joy may be the greatest threat of all.

How to Watch Pluribus Pluribus premiered on Apple TV+ on November 7, 2025, with the first two episodes released at launch. New episodes continue to drop weekly on Fridays, with the season finale set to arrive on December 26.
The series is available to stream via the Apple TV+ app (and via Apple TV+ through platforms like Amazon Prime’s add-on).
What Is Pluribus About? Pluribus is a genre-bending sci-fi drama created by Vince Gilligan (best known for Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul).
The premise: one woman described as “the most miserable person on Earth” is thrown into a surreal world where nearly everyone else is part of a hive-mind of unwavering optimism — and she’s apparently immune. From that starting point, the show explores what happens when happiness itself becomes a threat.
Who Is in the Pluribus Cast? The lead role of Carol Sturka is played by Rhea Seehorn, re-uniting with Gilligan after her role in Better Call Saul.
Rhea Seehorn in “Pluribus,” now streaming on Apple TV+. She’s joined by Karolina Wydra and Carlos Manuel Vesga in key roles, with guest appearances by Miriam Shor and Samba Schutte.
Sharon Gee, Darinka Arones, Rhea Seehorn, Amarburen Sanjid and Menik Gooneratne in “Pluribus,” now streaming on Apple TV+. The production team includes Gilligan as creator and executive producer.
