Vince Gilligan’s latest television series has officially hit our screens, and you’ll need to look elsewhere than AMC this time around. We’ve gathered everything you need to know about how to watch Pluribus, including global viewing info for the series, which will be available to stream worldwide.
Best known for creating Breaking Bad and co-creating its beloved spin-off prequel, Better Call Saul, Vince Gilligan has established himself as a must-see TV creator. His latest venture, Pluribus, leaves behind the meth and cartel-focused world of Walter White and Jimmy McGill/Saul Goodman for the most part, although it’s once again set in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and has a few nods to its predecessors.
The most notable connection between Gilligan’s shows is Rhea Seehorn, who played Kim Wexler — Jimmy’s partner in crime and in life — on Better Call Saul. She returns to star in Pluribus as Carol Sturka, a romantasy author and the “most miserable person on Earth” who becomes tasked with saving the world from a hive mind happiness virus. It’s a decidedly science fiction turn for Gilligan, but he picked the right streaming service for the show: Apple TV has taken on a sci-fi focus in many of its best original series, including Severance, For All Mankind, and Silo.
Below, we’ve outlined what you need to know about streaming the new show. We’ll also highlight details about the episode release schedule and a breakdown of the trailer.
How to watch Pluribus in the US
Pluribus is an Apple TV original, which means that the Apple TV streaming service is the only way to watch the series. Subscriptions cost $13 a month in the US, but new users can get a seven-day free trial. Apple TV includes access to a slew of other Apple Originals and select sports live streaming.
Apple TV (Monthly Plan)
Apple TV may have a limited lineup compared to the more established services, but it’s less expensive than other ad-free services and offers a growing selection of critically acclaimed series you can’t stream anywhere else. If you’ve yet to try it, or haven’t had the service for a while, you’ll find some incredible content to get stuck into. The movies have started to really improve as well in addition to the excellent range of shows.
How to watch Pluribus in the UK, Canada, and everywhere else
Apple TV is the streaming home of Pluribus around the globe, so fans in the UK, Canada, and other regions will be able to tune in to new episodes at the same time they are released in the US. Prices vary by country, but in the UK, subscriptions cost £10 a month.
How to watch Pluribus from anywhere
Since Apple TV is so widely available, you’ll most likely be able to stream the show from anywhere. But if you happen to be traveling through a region where you’re unable to watch, you can keep up with your usual streaming options with the help of a VPN, or virtual private network. VPNs are cybersecurity tools that let you change your device’s virtual location, so your usual websites and apps work from anywhere. NordVPN is our top recommendation, thanks to its user-friendliness, massive catalog of global servers, and 30-day money-back guarantee.
NordVPN Plan
NordVPN is one of the top VPN services in the business. It offers excellent value with a strong selection of features and a low monthly price. A wide selection of international servers, high-end security, fast connections, and audited privacy protection have made the brand a household name in the world of VPNs.
When do new episodes of Pluribus drop?
New episodes of Pluribus drop globally on Fridays, and the first season will run for nine episodes. The series premiered with two episodes, and one new episode will drop each week through December 26, 2025. If you’re in the US, we’ve noticed that the episodes typically turn up on Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT (which is Friday in some other parts of the world). The one exception to the release schedule so far was for Episode 5 (titled “Got Milk”), which was scheduled to drop around Thanksgiving. Instead, the new episode became available early on Wednesday, November 26 (Tuesday night in the US).
Pluribus Season 2
If you’re already hooked on the show and wondering about Season 2, you’re in luck. Apple TV has already ordered a second season of Pluribus. As for how long the show might continue past that, if at all, creator Vince Gilligan has a few ideas. “I’d love to see Pluribus go as long as Rhea Seehorn wants it to go,” Gillian told Variety during a red carpet interview. “I’m really doing it, as much as anybody, I’m doing it for her.” After gushing about Seehorn, he added: “At this point, maybe four seasons, I’m guessing, but who the hell knows?”
How to watch other Vince Gilligan shows
While Apple TV might have Vince Gilligan’s latest show, his past two series were AMC productions, so you’ll need to stream them elsewhere. Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul are both available to stream on Netflix and aren’t found on AMC+. The X-Files, Gilligan’s other key writing and directing credit, can be streamed on Hulu.
Pluribus trailer
The Pluribus trailer is careful not to give too much away, but the 2-minute-long video offers fans a glimpse of what they can expect in the series. The trailer (set to The Righteous Brothers’ “You’ll Never Walk Alone”) finds Carol as she tries to figure out what’s going on with the rest of the peppy, happy world. In the video, she’s seen talking over the phone to a man standing at the White House podium. “Rest assured, Carol,” he says. “We will figure out what makes you different.” When she asks why, he simply replies, “So you can join us.” Check out the full trailer below:
