Vince Gilligan's Pluribus Season 2 Pushed to 2028, Apple TV Exec Confirms

Fans eager for the second season of Vince Gilligan's Pluribus will need to brace themselves: the acclaimed Apple TV series is now likely targeting a late 2027 or even 2028 release. Apple TV programming head Matt Cherniss confirmed the challenging timeline, stating a 2027 return for Emmy contention would be "tough."

Gilligan, the mastermind behind Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, is known for his meticulous approach. It seems Pluribus Season 2 is no exception. Cherniss revealed Gilligan's "ambitious" vision for the new season, emphasizing the time needed to meet expectations. The show's intricate nature also contributes to a lengthy production cycle, which typically spans 10-12 months.

Executive producer Gordon Smith echoed the sentiment, noting the writing process is currently only "midway through Season 2." Even star Rhea Seehorn, who recently earned a Golden Globe for her work on the series, has emphasized Gilligan's commitment to quality over speed. He's not "playing any kind of game" to make fans wait; instead, he's dedicated to crafting a story that continues to build on the first season's success.
