“Hello, Carol. We’ll put things right…” Apple TV has unveiled a second 30-second teaser for the new series from Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan titled simply Pluribus. They’re slowly building up early buzz until a full trailer reveal and we can find out what’s really going down. This next teaser doesn’t explain or reveal anything either – and includes the viral phone number you can contact as well (202-808-3981). The sci-fi drama series is titled Pluribus – the Latin word is an adjective that means “much, many” (commonly used in the U.S. slogan “E pluribus unum“). The only one-line intro available so far to setup the concpet: The most miserable person on Earth must save the world from happiness. Pluribus stars Rhea Seehorn (who was in Gilligan’s “Better Call Saul”) along with Carlos Manuel Vesga, Karolina Wydra, Miriam Shor, and Samba Schutte. It still seems like this will turn out similar to something like Apple TV’s other sci-fi show Severance rather than their series Foundation (one of my faves) in terms of the sci-fi aspects of it. I’m ready to find out WTF this is all about and what she’s up to in here. Both teasers so far are intriguing.
Here’s the “Sorry About the Blood” teaser for Vince Gilligan’s series Pluribus, from Apple TV’s YouTube:
