For some unknown reason, Carol is one of a dozen or so people who are immune. And that&#8217;s pretty much all we know at this point.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;There&#8217;s no secret that we&#8217;re not letting you in on as far as I know, but I can tell you I felt very relieved that I was playing a character that had no idea what was going on because I, Rhea, have no idea what&#8217;s going on,&#8221; Seehorn tells <em>Entertainment Weekly<\/em>. &#8220;Carol&#8217;s very smart. She&#8217;s doing the best she can as you see as the series progresses to try to unravel what is going on and get some real answers. But I don&#8217;t know, and I must admit that I was perfectly happy to say, &#8216;Oh, that&#8217;s not my job.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<div style=\"max-height:none;overflow:visible\">\n<p>Apple TV+<\/p>\n<p> Sharon Gee, Darinka Arones, Rhea Seehorn, Amarburen Sanjid and Menik Gooneratne on &#8216;Pluribus&#8217;<\/p><\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Carol, however, is less keen on the not knowing. When asked if we&#8217;ll see the other immune people again, Seehorn says, &#8220;Carol&#8217;s definitely not gonna give up on trying to do something about this. We&#8217;ll see her try to figure out another way to get through to the people that she believes are still real humans. And whether or not she&#8217;s successful I will leave to the viewers to go on the ride with me. But I definitely think she&#8217;s going to try to find other approaches to convince people of what she feels.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Seehorn admits the mystery is part of what drew her to the project, which Gilligan wrote for her following the pair working together on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/better-call-saul\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Better Call Saul;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \"><em>Better Call Saul<\/em><\/a>. &#8220;We had finished shooting <em>Better Call Saul<\/em>, I was wrapped, but they were still doing some work in post, and that\u2019s when Vince said that he wrote something for me. He did say it had a sci-fi element, but that he didn&#8217;t wanna tell me anything about it,&#8221; she recalls. &#8220;It was about a month later that I got the script. And I knew nothing, which was actually really fun because I went on the journey that you do when you&#8217;re watching it. It felt so exciting and so thrilling. My first thought was, &#8216;Oh my God I would watch this show.&#8217; And then my second thought was, &#8216;Oh my God I get to do this.&#8217; And then I think the third one was, &#8216;Oh my God I need to figure out how to do this.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong><em>Get your daily dose of entertainment news, celebrity updates, and what to watch with\u00a0our\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/ew-dispatch-newsletter-11812417\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:EW Dispatch newsletter;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">EW Dispatch newsletter<\/a>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">And she did figure out how to do it. But that doesn&#8217;t mean she figured out the mystery. &#8220;Vince does a great job of taking us on this rollercoaster ride,&#8221; she continues. &#8220;He&#8217;s always said that he loves that you&#8217;re sitting there waiting for the others to be these zombies that have this mask that they pull off. They&#8217;re like, &#8216;Ah, I was secretly like a lizard man&#8217; or something. And that moment isn&#8217;t what&#8217;s coming. There are more nuanced, smarter, and stranger things to grapple with.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">For Seehorn, she&#8217;s just excited people can finally join her on this crazy ride. &#8220;My own family knows nothing about the show, so I can&#8217;t wait to talk to people about it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The first two episodes of <em>Pluribus<\/em> are available on Apple TV now with new episodes dropping every Friday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>&#8211;Reporting by Jessica Wang<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Read the original article on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/pluribus-rhea-seehorn-no-idea-whats-going-on-11844854\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Entertainment Weekly;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Entertainment Weekly<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article contains spoilers from the first two episodes of Pluribus.
