Cover Story: Rhea Seehorn Answers All The Big ‘Pluribus’ Questions – Will Carol Blow Up The World In Season 2?

Deadline · 2 hours ago

Rhea Seehorn, star of Apple TV's hit series Pluribus, has given a wide-ranging interview about the show's success and what lies ahead in Season 2. Created by Vince Gilligan specifically with Seehorn in mind after their work together on Better Call Saul, the series has become a major awards contender, earning 18 Emmy nominations and wins for Seehorn at the Critics' Choice and Golden Globe Awards. The show follows Carol Sturka, a romantasy novelist left immune and isolated after a mind-melding pandemic sweeps the world, and its blend of grief and absurdity has struck a chord with viewers who often read it as a commentary on AI or the Covid pandemic, despite Gilligan writing it before either became prominent.

In the interview, Seehorn discusses filming on the same Albuquerque set used for Better Call Saul and addresses fan speculation about where Season 2 will take the story. At the end of Season 1, Carol discovered that the hive-minded "others" had obtained her frozen eggs and planned to use her DNA to create a new viral strain to "convert" her, prompting her to order an atom bomb in the finale. Seehorn also credits co-stars including Karolina Wydra, Miriam Shor, Jeff Hiller and Carlos-Manuel Vesga, while praising Gilligan and the wider crew for the show's success.
