Pluribus stars Rhea Seehorn and Karolina Wydra reveal they "have no idea" what Season 2 of the Apple TV thriller is about

Pluribus stars Rhea Seehorn and Karoline Wydra are playing it safe when it comes to the show's future, as the actresses talked about the second season of the show, and how they have "no idea" what it's about. During an interview with E!News, Seehorn, who plays Carol on the show stated,

"I mean, honestly, I have no idea what Season 2 is."

Wydra then joined in as she added,

"I have no idea. Yeah, I don't think it's alien DNA."

However, Vince Gilligan has been a little more transparent about where he plans to steer the season. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, the creator said,

“We’ve got a pretty good idea where we’re going with it. We don’t consciously endeavor to paint ourselves into corners like we used to. We almost did that gleefully back in the day. That was when I was younger and had more energy. So I wouldn’t say we’re trying to paint ourselves into a corner with this [atomic bomb]. Definitely not.”

Talking about when work on the second season will start, Gilligan added,

“It’s going to frustrate some folks, just to be honest. We work at the speed we work at, much like glaciers melt at the speed that they melt at,”

More details about Pluribus

Pluribus is a post apocalyptic sci fi drama that asks a quietly terrifying question. What if the end of the world felt peaceful? Created by Vince Gilligan, the series follows Carol Sturka, a novelist living in Albuquerque who survives a global event called the Joining. An alien signal triggers a virus that transforms nearly all of humanity into a calm, happy hive mind known as the Others. They stop fighting, they stop wanting; they become one.

Carol, played by Rhea Seehorn, is one of only thirteen people immune. While the rest of the world moves on in eerie harmony, Carol is left alone with grief, anger, and a very human refusal to surrender her autonomy. The Others insist they are nonviolent and benevolent. They grant requests, redistribute resources, and promise comfort. They also admit, calmly, that they are still working on a way to assimilate the immune.

The series unfolds slowly, favoring atmosphere and process over spectacle. It leans into dark comedy, psychological thriller beats, and intimate character study. At its core, Pluribus is about whether peace without choice is still peace, and whether saving the world is worth losing yourself in the process.

As of now, the show has been renewed for another season, considering the amount of praise it has received everywhere, particularly for Gilligan's writing and direction and Seehorn's performance.
