Pluribus hails from Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul creator Vince Gilligan. That detail alone has generated a lot of interest in the sci-fi series. Rhea Seehorn, who starred in Breaking Bad's legal-themed spinoff, leads the cast of Pluribus. Aside from that and the fact that the show takes place in Albuquerque, New Mexico, there are no other similarities between the new drama and Gilligan's other Emmy-winning titles.
Don't let that deter you, though. Pluribus is a sci-fi drama unlike anything else on TV. It's already being cited by critics as one of the best TV shows of the year.
The story of Pluribus centers on a global event that infects the majority of the world's population with an extreme sense of happiness. They've also developed a hive mind.

Karolina Wydra, Carlos-Manuel Vesga, Miriam Shor, Peter Bergman and Samba Schutte also star.
