Rhea Seehorn teases what to expect from the Pluribus Season 1 finale, says ‘It’s bananas’

As Vince Gilligan's Pluribus races toward its highly anticipated Season 1 finale, excitement among fans has reached a fever pitch and Rhea Seehorn is only adding fuel to the fire.

The acclaimed actress, who has been earning widespread praise for her layered and magnetic performance as the series protagonist Carol, recently earned much-deserved Critics' Choice Television and Golden Globe Award nominations in the Best Actress category for the Apple TV series.

Since premiering earlier this year, Pluribus has quickly become one of television’s most talked-about new dramas. Blending psychological tension and deeply personal stakes, the series has carved out a unique space in the crowded streaming landscape. The show’s ability to balance sharp social commentary with character-driven emotion has earned it both critical acclaim and a rapidly growing fanbase.

In a recent interview with Deadline, Rhea Seehorn teased the Pluribus Season 1 finale, calling it 'bananas'. She said:

''It’s [the finale] bananas. The same as the first episode. I have virtually the same reaction to all of them. I’m like, ‘What!?’ Then I’m like, ‘Holy crap. All right, let’s go.’'

The series, which is already renewed for another season, will release its Season 1 finale on Apple TV on December 26

Rhea Seehorn shares her excitement about the Pluribus Season 1 finale

Vince Gilligan's recent post-apocalyptic series, which broke the Internet with its two-part premiere, has continued to hook the audience with its weekly episodes on Apple TV+. Each subsequent entry in Pluribus sparks a frenzy of fan questions and theories on Reddit and other social media platforms and viewers are already looking forward to the Season 1 finale.

In an interview with Deadline, Rhea Seehorn gave a highly anticipated tease for the finale:

''As far as the finale, I loved it. I was immediately, desperately needing Season 2.''

While the actress was naturally tight-lipped about the plot details, she shared her excitement about Carol, who has become an enigma for the audience to explore. A majority of Carol's actions and inner thoughts are suspicious in Pluribus, making her an unreliable protagonist for the fans.

Carol's weird sexual attractiveness to Zosia and her suspicious actions in Episode 4, where she sneakily injected truth serum into Zosia's IV bag, resulting in her collapse due to a cardiac arrest, were making the rounds on the Internet. As fans are still dissecting Seehorn's character in Pluribus, she shared her excitement about playing a strong-headed female character, who is suspiciously immune to the hive mind:

''She [Carol] really is this ultimate reluctant hero that is an Everyman, which I think is really fun up against his sci-fi backdrop, because she’s often behaving in ways that are not the best, but many of us can completely identify with why. So I hope we continue. This sort of very every man human in the middle of what’s being asked of her. [It] feels superhuman some days.''

Now that Pluribus' recently released episode has revealed a shocking twist, a way for the hive mind to convert the immune by extracting their stem cells and customizing the virus for each individual, the stakes for Carol have increased tenfold. Diabaté revealed that the hive mind needs the immune person's consent before converting them (and Carol naturally refused) but it has added another fascinating element for the remaining three episodes.

Since the hive mind cannot convert Carol and the other immunes without their consent, it would be interesting to see how long Carol can hold her ground.

The Pluribus Season 1 finale will be released on Apple TV on December 26.
