Breaking Bad writer-director Vince Gilligan’s new Apple TV+ sci-fi series Pluribus is set to premiere on Friday, November 7, and will air every Friday through December 26.

The nine-episode series stars ‘Better Call Saul’ alum Rhea Seehorn and ‘Sneaky Peak’ actress Karolina Wydra, and is billed by the streaming service as a “genre-bending original” about what happens “when the most miserable person on Earth must save the world from happiness.”  Carlos Manuel Vesga, Miriam Shor and Samba Schutte will also appear in the series.

Seehorn shared: “I can’t wait for it to come out, though. Some of the stuff that audiences have loved about his writing, where it’s really rich characters but also him playing with the idea of tropes and genres and tone, and switching, like injected humor in a very dark moment — in this new show, he pushes that to a limit that was both very thought-provoking and upsetting sometimes, and other times, so, so funny. It really swings for the fences. I had so much fun.”
