Marking the high-profile return of Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan, with Better Call Saul's Rhea Seehorn in a lead role, Pluribus made a big splash when it premiered in November 2025 on Apple TV. It won a trove of awards, including six Emmys, riding a wave of critical acclaim and attention from an audience eager to discuss every potential clue of the twisty sci-fi drama. Pluribus season 2's filming is finally underway. Although anxious fans are a long way from a premiere date, as cautioned by Gilligan and Seehorn, there are some clues about what to expect when the Apple TV Original finally does return. The Hollywood Reporter reveals that Samba Schutte, who appeared in Pluribus season 1 as Koumba Diabaté, has been promoted to a series regular for season 2.
