As a critic, I have to say Pluribus has rapidly become a standout show on Apple TV+. The premise is fascinating: Rhea Seehorn delivers a compelling performance as Carol Sturka, battling to reclaim humanity after a virus transforms almost everyone into a single, complacent collective. The first season wrapped with Carol finally teaming up with Manousos – yes, the guy who eats dog food, and also immune to the virus – but time is running out for these last free thinkers. Now, everyone’s wondering: when will we get Season 2?
Vince Gilligan, the creator of the show, recently discussed the possibility of a second season with EW. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like fans will be able to watch it as early as 2026, though progress is being made. Here’s what Gilligan had to say:
We’re working on it. It takes us a while. I would love to go faster if I could.
Filming for Season 2 hasn’t been scheduled yet. The creators of Pluribus are taking their time with the writing, wanting to ensure quality isn’t sacrificed for speed, despite the show’s success.
Gordon Smith, the show’s executive producer, agreed with the showrunner and added that viewers might have a significant wait before seeing more episodes, stating:
Think of a timeline with an arrow extending endlessly. I believe we’re currently somewhere on that ever-extending part, moving forward with no clear end in sight.
I’m really looking forward to seeing what happens with Carol and Manousos (Carlos-Manuel Vesga) after his difficult journey through the Darién Gap, and how Carol’s relationship with Zosia (and the Others) develops. I’m happy to be patient and let Vince Gilligan create another great season. You can currently watch the entire first season – all nine episodes – with an Apple TV subscription.
Vince Gilligan was surprised and pleased to discover that Pluribus had become Apple TV+’s biggest hit, even outpacing popular shows like Severance and Ted Lasso. While grateful for the positive response, he emphasized that it won’t speed up the process of getting a second season made.
We’re incredibly thankful for the support the show receives, but we’ve always found it best to focus on the creative process itself. Whether the feedback is good or bad, we try not to let it influence us. We’re our own biggest fans, and essentially, we aim to create something we enjoy. The key to good storytelling is to approach it as if you’re still working on it in private, before anyone else sees it.
He explained that this approach has consistently delivered the best results for his team, and considering his success with shows like Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, I have no reason to disagree with him.
Apple TV+ viewers are used to waiting a while for new seasons of their favorite shows. For example, it took three years for the first and second seasons of Severance to arrive (partly because of industry-wide strikes), and the third season likely won’t be out until 2027. The Morning Show also typically has a two-year gap between seasons, and it seems like we can expect a similar wait for the next installment of Pluribus.
