Creator Vince Gilligan says he was drawn to Pluribus by its quirky character, who inspired a female-led concept. The show’s debut episodes explore themes of identity and humanity in the face of an unknown threat. A conversation with Rhea Seehorn, Karolina Wydra, and Gilligan reveals what drew them back into sci-fi storytelling and the challenges of crafting compelling narratives.
Gilligan explains that his character was initially meant to be male, but the actress he knew from Better Call Saul convinced him to make it a female protagonist. The result is a captivating story about human resilience in the face of the unknown. With Pluribus now streaming on Apple TV, fans can dive into its unique blend of mystery and sci-fi.
