Pluribus is a genre-bending sci-fi drama created by Vince Gilligan for Apple TV, premiering in November 2025. The series stars Rhea Seehorn as Carol Sturka, a disillusioned romance novelist who becomes one of the few humans immune to a mysterious alien-origin virus. The infection doesn’t kill—it transforms humanity into a blissful hive-mind, united in thought and emotion.
As the rest of the world succumbs to perfect harmony, Carol must confront her isolation and decide whether to fight for individuality or surrender to collective peace. The title, drawn from the Latin phrase “e pluribus unum” (“out of many, one”), captures the show’s central theme: the fragile line between unity and control.
With Gilligan’s signature mix of tension, dark humor, and moral ambiguity, Pluribus transforms the apocalypse into a haunting meditation on identity, free will, and what it truly means to be human.
