Rhea Seehorn Pitches Kim Wexler's Legal Battle Against Alien Assimilation in 'Pluribus'

What happens when Better Call Saul’s sharpest legal mind faces down a peaceful, alien hive mind? Rhea Seehorn, iconic for her role as Kim Wexler, recently weighed in. She imagined how Kim would tackle the apocalyptic scenario from her new Apple TV series, Pluribus, where Seehorn plays novelist Carol Sturka.

In Pluribus, an alien virus turns humanity into a content, unified consciousness, seeking to absorb the few immune survivors. While Carol Sturka grabs a grenade, Seehorn believes Kim Wexler would take a different, distinctly legal approach.

“She would definitely fight for humanity,” Seehorn told Variety. But instead of violence, Kim would appeal to the hive mind's “judiciousness or judicial side, legally, and like ownership of one's body and autonomy.” It’s a fascinating contrast: the methodical lawyer versus the volatile survivor. Seehorn noted Carol is “way more volatile than Kim,” highlighting the distinct strengths of both complex characters.
