Apple has officially unveiled its upcoming sci-fi series, Pluribus, following several teasing promotions. The show is crafted by Vince Gilligan, known for creating Breaking Bad, and features Rhea Seehorn in the lead role as Carol. The character is described as “the most miserable person on Earth,” facing a unique challenge to save the world from what is termed happiness.
The recently released teaser trailer depicts a world where Carol appears to be catered to by individuals who have been overtaken by a newfound sense of happiness. It is not explained why Carol remains unaffected by this change, although the other characters seem determined to help her “join” their state of being. Carol’s confusion and frustration are evident in the trailer, suggesting a narrative that may explore themes of isolation and societal norms. The tone hints at a blend of unsettling scenarios with elements of dark humor throughout the series.
As the series progresses, it will be interesting to see how Carol’s character navigates this unusual reality and what implications her journey will have on the broader narrative regarding happiness and fulfillment.
