The ‘Pluribus’ Teaser Is Here
We first heard about AppleTV+âs Pluribus way back in 2022, around the time creator Vince Gilliganâs Better Call Saul was winding up its six-season run. When Apple landed the project with a two-season order in September of that year, all we knew was the basics: Breaking Bad creator (and, before that, X-Files legend) Gilligan, re-teaming with Saul standout Rhea Seehorn on a âblended, grounded genre drama.â And honestly, that was enoughâGilligan, Seehorn, genre, blended and grounded? We were in. We were Vince McMahon with laser eyes by the end of that sentence.
But after that, until very recently, that initial pitch was about all the information we had about this show, which was delayed by the 2023 writersâ strike and didnât go into production until early 2024. As with Saul and Breaking Bad, the setting was Albuquerque; unlike those shows, Gilligan promised, the new series (which didnât even have an official title until July) would feature no crime, no meth, and (barring the odd Easter egg) no other links to the Walter White Cinematic Universe, either.

Rhea Seehorn Has a Line to the White House in ‘Pluribus’ Teaser
Her character, however, doesn’t seem to be thrilled to be speaking with the highest office in the land.
Apple TV+ has released a teaser for its upcoming series Pluribus, from Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan — but anyone looking for clarity about the show’s premise won’t find a lot here.
The 45-second teaser features Rhea Seehorn’s character, Carol, speaking on the phone with someone who offers her “help, in any way … food, medicine, whatever you need. We are here for you. Rest assured, Carol, we will figure out whatever makes you different.”
As the conversation plays out over a series of cuts — Carol driving a police car and flipping off a passing vehicle, someone swabbing a petri dish in the shape of a smiley face — it’s revealed that she’s speaking with someone at the White House (played by The Young and the Restless veteran Peter Bergman) via a C-SPAN call-in.
