Premiere of the highly anticipated project on Apple TV+
Apple TV+ has released the new series Pluribus, which has captured the attention of viewers around the world. The project was conceived by Vince Gilligan, celebrated for his work on the iconic drama Breaking Bad. This time, the creator decided to completely step away from his familiar universe and offer audiences a fresh perspective on the science fiction genre.
A new departure in storytelling and original characters
Pluribus is not connected to Gilligan’s previous works. The story centers on a female protagonist played by Rhea Seehorn. She is the only one in her community who does not share the widespread euphoria. The cause of her unusual behavior is a mysterious virus that doesn’t affect her. All the other residents are infected and exist in a constant state of happiness, leading her to experience an internal conflict and question the nature of what is happening around her.
Viewer expectations and the industry’s response
Fans of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul had long hoped for a continuation of their beloved franchise. However, Gilligan chose not to return to old characters, but instead to create something fundamentally new. This move was seen as a breath of fresh air amid a flood of sequels and spin-offs that often compromise originality. Pluribus shows that the creator can still surprise audiences beyond his usual narrative boundaries.
Highlights and atmosphere of the new series
The Pluribus trailer highlights an atmosphere of mystery and intrigue, while incorporating elements of comedy. This blend of genres makes the project appealing to a wide audience. The series’ release on Apple TV+ also underscores the growing influence of the platform in shaping modern science fiction. Critics point out that Pluribus could become one of the season’s key events and set new standards for the genre.
