After spending more than a decade in the world of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, Vince Gilligan is finally branching out into something new. The new series, which is coming from Apple, is called Pluribus and stars Rhea Seehorn, who also starred in Better Call Saul.

Now, we’ve got our first teaser for the new show, and it’s just as baffling as you might expect. In the teaser, we see a woman licking every donut in a box of donuts, as well as a sign that says “Help yourself” along with a smiley face. The teaser is just 30 seconds long, and we don’t see Seehorn or have any context for what the show is about.

The teaser also reveals that the show will be released on Nov. 7. We don’t yet know if the series will be released weekly or not. In addition to Seehorn, the show also stars Karolina Wydra, Carlos-Manuel Vesga and Samba Schutte.

Plot details are being kept under wraps, but Apple won the rights to the series all the way back in 2022. As part of that competitive bidding, Apple agreed to give the series a two-season order, which means that it’s already been renewed for a second season. The teaser was released following a countdown clock that came with a cryptic tagline “Happiness is Contagious.”

While we don’t know what the show is about, we do know that Pluribus is supposed to be more sci-fi than either of Gilligan’s previous two shows. Given how great both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul were, it’s fair to say that anticipation for Pluribus is high, even if we still don’t know anything about it.

9 shows to watch if you love The Walking Dead
AMC's zombie show was a phenomenon. These shows will help you revisit that thrill
Andrew Lincoln as Rick Grimes in The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live.

The Walking Dead started as a niche zombie series in the early 2010s, but it built up steam and transformed into a runaway hit just a few seasons after its inception. By the middle of the decade, Robert Kirkman's post-apocalyptic series was the most popular program on basic cable TV. It revolutionized long-form storytelling and created a rabid fandom that allowed it to run for over a decade and spawn many spinoffs.

Undead monsters aren't the only thing that made The Walking Dead such a fascinating and addictive watch, though. The depth of the characters and the survivalist strategies of the entire group made for thrilling, adrenaline-filled episodes that other shows had a hard time matching. We have the best shows like The Walking Dead to watch next if you love the binge-worthiness of world-ending drama in this comic book adaptation.
