Here's when you can check out the creator of Breaking Bad's new mystery series
After years of teases and hints, the creator of Breaking Bad, Vince Gilligan, has finally given fans a first look at his next series, Pluribus. The Sci-Fi series will be coming to Apple TV+ later this year, and the teams launched a days-long countdown to its reveal at San Diego Comic Con. The internationally reknowned event saw a number of shows and films give attendees exclusive first looks and casting news, with Gilligan and co releasing the teaser trailer for Pluribus after its panel. The countdown video was released along with the tagline: 'Happiness is Contagious,' and led many fans to theorise what the show might be about. Pluribus Pic: Apple TV+ The only description for Pluribus that Apple has offered is this: 'The most miserable person on Earth must save the world from happiness,' and its official logline isn't much better, describing it as 'a genre-bending original in which the most miserable person on Earth must save the world from happiness.' What has thrilled many fans is the reveal that Gilligan will be reuniting with Better Call Saul star Rhea Seehorn for the new series, and she's shown in the teaser licking donuts and putting them back into the box. In fact, Vince said that he had actually written the lead role for Pluribus with Seehorn in mind, and other cast members include Karolina Wydra, and Carlos Manuel Vesga, as well as guest stars Miriam Shor and Samba Schutte. Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan's new show Pluribus is coming to Apple TV+ this November Pic: Apple TV+ Apple clearly has a lot of faith in Gilligan as they commissioned two seasons of Pluribus even before the first was close to airing, confirming the order back in 2022. Fingers crossed it pays off!

Pluribus is Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan's latest series – here's everything we know so far
It's been nearly three years since Apple TV+ first snapped up the rights to Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul creator Vince Gilligan 's next series. Apple TV+ kept things under wraps until last week, when the streaming service finally gave fans their first look at Gilligan's upcoming show. Titled Pluribus – the Latin word for 'many' – the series stars Better Call Saul 's Rhea Seehorn, who was nominated twice for an Emmy for her portrayal on the Breaking Bad sequel, alongside Karolina Wydra (Sneaky Pete), Carlos Manuel Vesga (The Hijacking of Flight 601), Miriam Shor (American Fiction) and Samba Schutte (Our Flag Means Death). Details are scant, but Apple TV+ describes Pluribus as 'a genre-bending original in which the most miserable person on Earth must save the world from happiness'. Here's everything you need to know about Pluribus. 'Pluribus' release date: When does it come out? The first two episodes of Pluribus will be released on Apple TV+ on Friday, 7 November 2025, with each new episode after that dropping every Friday until 26 December. Apple TV+ says that there are nine episodes in Pluribus' first-season run. The streaming service ordered two seasons in 2022, so we'll definitely be getting another helping. What is 'Pluribus' about? Besides the short logline released by Apple TV+, we know a little bit more about the series from interviews with Vince Gilligan. In 2022, Deadline compared it to The Twilight Zone and stated that it was set in our world and would explore human nature in unexpected ways. The trade publication added that it was 'thought-provoking but not a morality tale'. In 2023, Gilligan told Variety that, like Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, it takes place in Albuquerque, albeit a very different Albuquerque. 'The world changes very abruptly in the first episode, and then it is quite different,' Gilligan said. 'And the consequences that that reaps hopefully provide drama for many, many episodes after that.' It's not hard science fiction either. 'I would call it mild science fiction. It does have a sci-fi element to it at its core, and there's no crime, and no methamphetamine,' he said. 'It's going to be fun and different. I have no prediction as to how folks will react to it – whether they'll love it or hate it, or somewhere in the vast in-between, but I know it's a story that interests me, and Rhea will be playing a very different character than she played on Saul.' Given that several networks and platforms were chasing the rights to Pluribus, it could live up to the heights of Breaking Bad.

‘Pluribus': First-look teaser of ‘Breaking Bad' creator Vince Gilligan's sci-fi series out; release date announced
Apple on Friday (July 25) unveiled a first-look teaser of its upcoming sci-fi series Pluribus, which is Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan's return to television. Starring Rhea Seehorn (who starred in Gilligan's Breaking Bad spin-off Better Call Saul), the nine-episode series premieres with its first two episodes on Apple TV+ on November 5, followed by new episodes every Friday. In the extremely unsettling 30-second first-look teaser, we see a woman wearing pink scrubs lick donuts before placing them in a box that reads 'Help yourself.' Meanwhile, the first-look image of Seehorn from the series features the actor's character, on a phone call, looking ahead with a puzzled expression. The project is already generating early buzz due to the strength of its creative team. Gilligan's past shows have been critically acclaimed and commercially successful, while Seehorn has earned consistent praise for her dramatic range. According to a press release from Apple, Pluribus is a 'genre-bending original in which the most miserable person on Earth must save the world from happiness.' Interestingly, the series has already been renewed for a second season. The project is already generating early buzz due to the strength of its creative team. Gilligan's past shows have been critically acclaimed and commercially successful, while Seehorn has earned consistent praise for her dramatic range. In an earlier interview with Variety, Gilligan made some revelations about the concept and tenor of his new show. Though unfolding in Albuquerque, New Mexico — the setting of both Saul and five seasons of Breaking Bad — it will have 'no crime, and no methamphetamine,' he said. 'I wouldn't call this heavy science fiction, I would call it mild science fiction,' Gilligan was quoted as saying. 'But it does have a sci-fi element to it, at its core. And there's no crime, and no methamphetamine. It's going to be fun and different.' Asked to tease the plot, Gilligan divulged, 'The world changes very abruptly in the first episode, and then it is quite different. It's the modern world — the world we live in — but it changes very abruptly. And the consequences that that reaps hopefully provide drama for many, many episodes after that.' The cast of Pluribus also features Karolina Wydra and Carlos Manuel Vesga, with Miriam Shor and Samba Schutte appearing in guest roles. Sony Pictures Television produces the series. Gilligan, Gordon Smith, Alison Tatlock, Diane Mercer, Allyce Ozarski and Jeff Frost serve as executive producers.

See 'Better Call Saul' stars Bob Odenkirk and Rhea Seehorn reunite at San Diego Comic-Con (exclusive)
The stars and co-creator Vince Gilligan stopped by EW's Comic-Con photo studio. It's gonna be a damn good reunion, and people are gonna know about it. Better Call Saul stars Bob Odenkirk and Rhea Seehorn and co-creator Vince Gilligan reunited at Entertainment Weekly's photo studio at San Diego Comic-Con 2025 on Friday. Seehorn and Gilligan were at the annual fan convention to discuss their new project together, the sci-fi drama Pluribus, hitting Apple TV+ on Nov. 7. Meanwhile, Odenkirk was on hand to promote action thriller Nobody 2, in theaters Aug. 15. The trio last worked together on AMC's acclaimed Breaking Bad spinoff, which Gilligan co-created with Peter Gould. Better Call Saul took place shortly before the events of Breaking Bad, following Jimmy McGill (Odenkirk), a former con artist attempting to earn respect as a public defender as he transforms into Saul Goodman. The series ran for six seasons, ending in 2022. Seehorn played Jimmy's fellow attorney and love interest Kim Wexler, and earned two Emmy nominations for the role. Odenkirk scored six nominations for Best Lead Actor in a Drama Series, one for each season of its run, but never won for the role. The show itself tallied a whopping 53 nominations without a single win, setting the record for the most-nominated show to never earn an Emmy. In a previous interview with EW, Seehorn named an intense moment with Odenkirk in the season 5 finale as her favorite scene in the series, describing it as "the whole thing of Jimmy and Kim teetering on breaking up, talking each other back into staying, feeling each other out and then [Kim's shooting of] the finger guns." She elaborated on the unspoken language shared between the characters that was a particular highlight to her. "It is such a product of what's not being [said] and speaking in code to each other that it requires three things: great writing, two actors that know each other and each other's characters extraordinarily well, and an audience that has followed that relationship closely enough that they also are getting what we're saying. The whole thing is basically in code. That whole scene." See more reunion pics below: Watch EW's Comic-Con livestream: Check out more of . Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly
