Apple has introduced that Pluribus, a brand new science fiction drama from Breaking Dangerous creator Vince Gilligan, will premiere on Apple TV+ on November 7. Gilligan was confirmed to be engaged on the venture again in 2022, when Higher Name Saul‘s Rhea Seehorn was additionally introduced as its main star.
Alongside the premiere date, Apple additionally launched a brief (considerably ominous) teaser for the sequence that exhibits a hospital worker mindlessly licking donuts. Pluribus is meant to comply with “essentially the most depressing particular person on Earth” (presumably Seehorn) as they “save the world from happiness,” however your guess is pretty much as good as mine as to how the 2 tie collectively.
Apple’s penchant for backing science fiction exhibits has been well-documented at this level. The corporate is at present producing a tv adaptation of William Gibson’s Neuromancer, and has made three seasons and counting of Basis, based mostly on the novel sequence by Isaac Asimov. Toss in issues like Severance, Murderbot, Silo and For All Mankind and you have got a fairly various catalog of sci-fi media to select from.
Simply how “science fiction” Pluribus will truly be stays up within the air. When stories went out in 2022 that Apple was ordering two seasons of the present, it was described as “a blended, grounded style drama.” Apple’s premiere date announcement pitches the present as “a genre-bending unique.”
Pluribus’ nine-episode first season will premiere on November 7 with two episodes. New episodes will stream weekly after that, throughout December 26.
