Bob Odenkirk Hails New Apple TV+ Sci-Fi Series as ‘Biggest Show Since Game of Thrones’

Apple TV+ has released more than a few hit series over the past few years that have hooked audiences to keep watching, from Severance, Silo, Dark Matter, to For All Mankind. It’s safe to say that the streaming platform has done a good job in the sci-fi genre and is ready to release another hopeful hit.

Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul creator Vince Gilligan is set to release a new sci-fi series on the streaming platform titled Pluribus.

While Pluribus has far and few details of what audiences can expect, there’s one person who confirms the series will be one to add to the must-watch list and rival some of the greatest shows on TV.

“I don’t know a damn thing. But I know it’s going to be massive. Massive! It’s going to be the biggest thing, well, since sliced bread, but really since Game of Thrones. You probably know what’s biggest [lately], but probably since Severance. I know Severance, in its way, is a big, big effort. So I think that [Pluribus] is going to be the next big show, and I can’t wait,” commented Bob Odenkirk to The Hollywood Reporter. 

Odenkirk has worked with Gilligan for years as his popular character Saul Goodman in both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. 

Pluribus‘s premise is a mystery, with Apple TV+ having released that the series focuses on “the most miserable person on Earth must save the world from happiness” and is set in Albuquerque.

The series stars Better Call Saul actor Rhea Seehorn in the titular character role of Carol, alongside Karolina Wyda as Zosia, and Carlos Manuel Vesga as Manusos.

Apple TV+ must be excited about how Pluribus will land amongst audiences, as the streaming platform ordered a two-season deal for the series. The first two episodes are expected to premiere on Nov. 7, 2025. Pluribus Season 1 will have a total of nine episodes.
