Apple TV’s Pluribus arrived in November 2025 with a lot of secrecy, and for good reason: The series is about an alien invasion that converts a majority of the world’s population into a “hive mind.” Rhea Seehorn stars as Carol Sturka, a reticent romance novelist who survives “the Joining.” In what is essentially a one-woman show, season 1 begins at the time of the life-altering event as Carol comes to understand what the hive mind wants, tracking her bouts of loneliness and desire for human connection along the way.
Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul creator Vince Gilligan is the brains behind the must-watch series, which is a thinly veiled metaphor for society’s adherence to uniformity. By the end of season 1, it’s clear that the show has a lot more to say and explore, and is only just getting started. Below, we’re breaking down everything we know about Pluribus season 2.
