Pluribus : Rhea Seehorn and Vince Gilligan honored, season 2 in the works

Pluribus has earned Rhea Seehorn the 2026 Emmy for Best Actress in a Drama and its creator, Vince Gilligan, the Emmy for Best Screenplay. Apple TV+ has greenlit a second season, but a release date hasn’t been set yet. The nine episodes of the first season, which premieres on November 7, 2025, fuse science fiction, drama, and dark humor around Carol Sturka, played by Seehorn.

Carol is a novelist who is exceptionally unhappy. When a mysterious phenomenon alters the behavior of almost the entire human race, she appears to resist it and must decipher what this collective happiness really means. This turn of events makes her an exception in a world suddenly and uniformly content, giving the series its central conflict without the need to reveal the how and why.

Following Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, Vince Gilligan crafts an original story here that centers on the link between personal choice and collective transformation. Jeff Frost, Gordon Smith, Alison Tatlock, Allyce Ozarski, and Diane Mercer are among the executive producers.

Vince Gilligan took home the screenplay prize for the episode “We Is Us.” The series was also recognized for its theme music, production design, editing, and sound mixing. The greenlight for Season 2 came before this awards haul; Apple TV has not yet announced when it will air or what will become of Carol in the new episodes.
