The upcoming sci-fi series, which reunites Seehorn with Better Call Saul co-creator Gilligan, is titled Pluribus, and it premieres Friday, Nov. 7 on the streamer with the first two episodes, TVLine has learned. Gilligan, who also created Saul's forerunner Breaking Bad, will serve as writer and showrunner.

Pluribus is described as 'a genre-bending original in which the most miserable person on Earth must save the world from happiness.' Along with Seehorn, the cast includes Karolina Wydra (Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) and Carlos Manuel Vesga (The Hijacking of Flight 601), and guest stars Miriam Shor (Younger) and Samba Schutte (Our Flag Means Death).
Apple TV+ has also released a (kinda gross) first-look teaser for the series, with a woman licking every donut in a box next to a sign saying, 'Help Yourself!' Watch it here:
Much of Pluribus is still shrouded in mystery, but the title seems to come from the U.S. motto 'E pluribus unum,' or Latin for 'out of many, one.' (So the word 'many' is a key, somehow.) Plus, Apple TV+ released a teaser image for the series, featuring what looks like a petri dish with a smiley face drawn in some unknown substance, with the tagline: 'Happiness Is Contagious.' Does the story revolve around some sort of lab-grown virus, perhaps?
Gilligan dropped some teases about Pluribus a while back: 'I wouldn't call this heavy science fiction, I would call it mild science fiction… There's no crime, and no methamphetamine. It's going to be fun and different.' He added that 'Rhea will be playing a very different character than she played on Saul' and 'the world changes very abruptly in the first episode, and then it is quite different… and the consequences that that reaps hopefully provide drama for many, many episodes after that.'
The series was first announced in September 2022, with Apple TV+ handing it a two-season order. Seehorn recently wrapped up a six-season run as attorney Kim Wexler on Better Call Saul, earning two Emmy nominations for best supporting actress in a drama.

From Vegas to Nashville: Elon Musk's Loop Targets Event Cities
Elon Musk's Loop transit system is set for a 2026 launch in Nashville, where a new 10-mile tunnel is in the works. This project promises faster travel times for convention-goers, but it faces skepticism about its capacity and scalability. Elon Musk's Boring Company has unveiled plans to construct the Music City Loop, a 10-mile underground transportation tunnel in Nashville. The privately funded system will connect the city's downtown area, including the Music City Center, to Nashville International Airport. The goal is to reduce the travel time between the convention center and airport to around eight minutes, using Teslas, another Musk company, navigating underground tunnels. Construction of the Loop is slated to begin this fall, with the first segment expected to open by the end of 2026. Exact route and station locations are still being finalized. Tennessee Governor Bill Lee supports the project, saying it supports the state's push to modernize infrastructure and ease traffic. However, there are no plans to use public funds for the project, that will be funded privately by the Boring Company. Loop's Second Act After Vegas The Music City Loop is the Boring Company's second major project, following the Las Vegas Convention Center Loop, which opened in 2021. The Las Vegas Loop spans 2.1 miles, connects five stations, and has carried more than 3 million passengers, according to Boring. A ride between the convention center and Resorts World takes under two minutes. That's much faster than a 25-minute walk or a traffic-clogged Uber trip. But despite its success in Las Vegas, the Loop's Nashville expansion is not without its critics. Transit experts have pointed out that the system's reliance on human-driven Tesla vehicles and its one-vehicle-at-a-time capacity limit could prove inefficient, particularly in high-traffic areas. Others warn that, because the project is privately funded, it may sidestep regulatory oversight that typically accompanies public infrastructure projects. Unlike traditional mass transit systems that can accommodate large numbers of passengers on trains or buses, the Loop's current design is not expected to carry enough people to significantly reduce congestion in Nashville. Despite these concerns, the Boring Company has big plans for the future of the Loop. The Las Vegas network is set to expand to 68 miles with 104 stations, eventually connecting key locations such as Harry Reid International Airport, Allegiant Stadium, MGM Grand, and downtown Las Vegas.

Finding value from AI: These tools boost coding, writing, video editing, researching, travel planning
From top left, clockwise: Markiesha Patrice; Joe Heitzeberg; Elizabeth Russo; Darian Parrish and Joe Golden; Robert Mao and Xuchen Yao; Gayathri (G3) Venkataraman and Mamtha Banerjee; Ti Zhao and Beth Kolko; and Gregory Kennedy. (GeekWire Photos / Taylor Soper) Everybody is talking about AI. But how are people actually using new automation tools, and what value are they getting out of them? That was our question to attendees at the AI2 Incubator's annual BBQ party on Thursday, hosted at the AI House at Seattle's Pier 70 as part of Seattle Tech Week. Techies shared some of their favorite AI tools and how they're using them. Read on to learn more. Answers were edited for brevity and clarity. Joe Heitzeberg, founder of AI Tinkerers Favorite tools: Granola and Amp Use case: 'Granola just works really well. It automatically joins meetings. I can use it for anything where I want to take notes. It's unobtrusive. And the other one is Amp. It's a coding tool I've been using for two-and-a-half weeks — objectively, it's better than Claude Code. It just does a better job of taking my instructions and figuring out how to fulfill my objectives in a way that is compatible with my code base.' Mamtha Banerjee, left, and Gayathri (G3) Venkataraman. Mamtha Banerjee, managing director at JPMorgan Chase Favorite tool: Perplexity Comet Use case: 'It's not that I'm using it a lot. But it's very interesting how it changes what you think about a browser — it's almost like an operating system.' Gayathri (G3) Venkataraman, CEO at Dodda AI Favorite tool: Perplexity, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot Use case: 'I use them a lot for pretty much all the tasks I have to do. I come up with plans and ask them to let me know if I'm covering everything or missing anything — I'm using it as a comprehensive completeness tool. I'm also using them for travel planning and for retail and other things I need to buy at home.' Ti Zhao, left, and Beth Kolko. Beth Kolko, investment partner at Pioneer Fund Favorite tool: Claude Use case: 'I just did a bunch of traveling and I used Claude to help me narrow down plans. I asked it to tell me the history of a place and where I should go. Professionally, I use it because I do a lot of writing and speaking for my career. I'll upload things I've already written on different topics and get it to do some synthesis work.' Ti Zhao, partner at Pack Ventures Favorite tool: Claude Use case: 'I use it for everything — to plan my workouts, plan my meal plans. It gives me recipe ideas and ideas to throw a dinner party or entertain children. It primarily solves the blank-page problem for me. I don't trust everything it tells me but it can generate a list of ideas and I can work off of it really easily.' Joe Golden, left, with Darian Parrish. Joe Golden, founder and CEO at Paper2Audio Favorite tool: Google Gemini Flash 2.0; OpenAI o3 Use case: 'Our company makes it so you can listen to research papers. We don't need complex thinking or reasoning, or agentic mode. So Gemini Flash 2.0 is fast and cheap. It can also parse images well enough and cheaply. Another tool I've been using is o3. A family member was recently diagnosed with cancer. It's incredible for medical research. It's really invaluable for getting into a new field of research.' Darian Parrish, founder and CEO at PwrOn Favorite tool: Poe Use case: 'Poe allows you to access all the models. That's the highest value chatbot. And I use a lot of the coding tools — Windsurf, Lovable, Cursor, Replit. I've estimated I'm around 30 times faster at software creation.' Markiesha Patrice, startup community lead at Nebius Favorite tool: Descript Use case: 'I do a lot of video content and editing, so Descript makes it very simple for me. It's saving time and it's also ease of use. If you're not someone who is super technical or trained, there is not much extra knowledge that you have to have in order to go into the platform and use it.' Gregory Kennedy, chief vibe marketer at Vibe Your SaaS Favorite tool: Claude, Canva Use case: 'As a writing assistant, Claude is probably the best one. It works for me like an intern, where it can get started with an idea. I use it more like a really advanced version of Grammarly. And I think Canva doesn't get a lot of love, and their AI tools are quite good. I do a lot of visuals and graphics for marketing. The tools are really powerful for moving backgrounds, manipulating things, whatever you need. It's really fast and easy.' Elizabeth Russo, CEO at adyn Favorite tool: Claude Use case: 'Mostly to help as a writing assistant, primarily for emails to potential partners and investors. It can sometimes unlock writer's block or help me get over procrastination of starting something. Even if it gives me a bad draft, I feel motivated that I can do better and fix it.' Xuchen Yao, left, and Robert Mao. Xuchen Yao, co-founder and CEO at Favorite tool: Warp Use case: 'I use it for vibe coding. I just open up a terminal and tell it the instructions. I use it to translate blogs into 20 different languages to make our company more international. I also use it to do code reviews.' Robert Mao, architect at AIGNE Favorite tool: AIGNE Use case: 'A lot of people are doing vibe coding, but for me, as a developer, I actually enjoy coding. But I really hate writing design documents and user documents. And so we're building a vibe document tool for developers. All you do is feed in your design idea draft and the AI turns it into a full document. Or if you already wrote the code, it makes a super cool design document.'

Matt Rogers talks bringing zeitgeisty Las Culturistas Awards to TV for the 1st time
The last Teen Choice Awards aired in 2019. MTV canceled its MTV Movie & TV Awards show after 2023. It's been a rough period for those deserving of recognition as choice hottie or best villain. Enter the Las Culturistas Culture Awards, now in its fifth year — and coming to television for the first time Tuesday. Conceived by comedians and longtime friends Bowen Yang ('Saturday Night Live') and Matt Rogers ('I Love That For You') and an outgrowth of their 'Las Culturistas' podcast, this year's edition was taped in July and will air on Bravo. 'The thing that's cohesive about Bravo and our brand is the fact that we center fun and that kind of made it a really natural home for us,' Rogers said recently over Zoom. These awards give flowers to a variety of genres. Categories this year include most iconic building or structure (Lumon headquarters from 'Severance' is nominated), best title for the next 'Bridget Jones' ('Bridget Jones to Terabithia' is a contender) and the Lindsay Lohan in 'Parent Trap' award for twins excellence (Michael B. Jordan gets a nod for 'Sinners'). Rogers' favorite? 'They're all my babies,' he said, but is most proud of best 'Batman' woman. One of the nominees: Robyn — yes, not Robin. 'It's the Riddler's assistant,' joked Rogers. 'Robyn scenes were cut from the movie.' The awards aren't even limited to work from the past year — the nonexistent Robyn's competitors include both Michelle Pfeiffer and Anne Hathaway's portrayal of Catwoman. The awards are 'one of the most fun things we do every year,' Rogers said. The whole point is to remind people that Hollywood — and especially awards shows — are not that serious. Rogers spoke with The Associated Press about the Las Culturistas Culture Awards, the podcast and keeping up with pop culture. This interview has been edited for clarity and brevity. AP: Why did you and Bowen start the Las Culturistas Culture Awards? ROGERS: I don't think there's anything funnier than people who take themselves too seriously. And being hosts of a pop culture podcast in which we talk about the entertainment industry quite frequently, we see it as an opportunity to empower everyone to drop their shoulders a little bit. Bowen was just nominated for his fifth (chance at an) Emmy. It still means something, even though we're in the process of satirizing it, which says everything you need to know about the place that this holds in our culture. AP: Do you ever find it hard to keep up with everything that's popping in the zeitgeist? ROGERS: Absolutely. We talk about this a lot on the show. The death of monoculture is a very real thing, so we are not all watching the same stuff. It would be impossible to cover everything that everyone wants us to cover. For example, I can't really do 'Love Island.' The episodes are just a little too long and, also, it's not my flavor of reality show. That doesn't mean that l don't think it's incredible for people that want to watch it. I am an Ariana Madix superfan and supporter. Having said that, if we're talking about something on 'Las Culturistas,' it is honest. I would never want to just cram for the podcast. If you hear us talking about it, it's something we're actually encountering. AP: As you and Bowen each become busier with your individual careers, is there a scenario where you would end the podcast? (Yang did take a break in 2023 to focus on his mental health.) ROGERS: The podcast is not hard to do. Maybe if it were, or if we felt like at a certain point it was too exposing, we would maybe take a break. But the fact is, we don't feel that way. If it was ever a thing of like, 'Hey, we need to wind it back,' that probably means we would book less guests and just talk to each other. The energy expense is when we're getting ready to host someone that we love or that we wanna make sure has a good time. It's an hour or whatever of me talking to my friend. AP: Why do you think there are so many podcasts out there? ROGERS: It's a celebration of someone's interests. I always say if you have an interest, you can find 15 podcasts about that thing no matter what it is. I think what makes people excited about this world is it's a place to talk and deep dive or be too granular and too niche about what you love. AP: What was the original goal for 'Las Culturistas' when you started back in 2016? You've gone on to have Michelle Obama, Lady Gaga, Sarah Jessica Parker and Chappell Roan as guests. ROGERS: The podcast started with me and Bowen sitting behind mics, very lo-fi at our friend's apartment. A mattress was in the window to keep the sound out. It was just a playdate for me and Bowen. It wasn't even weekly in the very beginning. It was very haphazard. The sentence, 'Oh, we owe them an episode,' was uttered a lot. Then suddenly it became this thing. And we realized it was really not only helping us, but it was something we enjoyed.
