Earlier this month, Apple TV released a teaser trailer for its new drama, a genre-bending series that combines dystopian, sci-fi, social, psychological, and political themes, titled Pluribus. Soap fans were particularly interested thanks to Peter Bergman’s presence.
The Young and the Restless star appeared in the promo as a prominent political figure who is somehow able to talk through the television to the unhappy woman calling into the C-SPAN-style program. Pluribus premieres on November 7, and as a result, Apple TV (formerly Apple TV+) has now released the show’s full trailer.
Key Takeaways
- Peter Bergman of The Young and the Restless appears in Apple TV’s new dystopian series Pluribus.
- The full trailer highlights the chilling world of forced happiness, starring Rhea Seehorn.
- Pluribus premieres November 7 with a nine-episode first season and has already been renewed for season two.
Pluribus Trailer
Bergman’s presence in the full trailer isn’t as prevalent as it was in the teaser. But he’s in the expanded look at the new series. The appearance continues to make us wonder how much of a role he’ll play in Pluribus when the intriguing show makes its debut next week. Is it a cameo or a recurring situation (Bergman recalls his early days of Y&R)?
The trailer has been out for a few days and has already amassed over five million views on YouTube. Clearly, the drama starring Better Call Saul‘s Rhea Seehorn is highly anticipated. This extended look, from Vince Gilligan, the creator of Breaking Bad, is even scarier and more chilling than the original teaser.
Forced happiness is the order of the day in Pluribus, and Seehorn plays the most miserable person on planet Earth. There’s no way the powers that be will let someone wallow in misery. That’s not how things are in this new world order. According to the show’s synopsis, this unhappy woman is somehow chosen to save the world from happiness.
Pluribus has a nine-episode season one. The drama debuts on November 7 with two episodes, followed by new installments dropping weekly until the finale streams on December 26. The show has already been renewed for a second season. In addition to Seehorn and Bergman (who didn’t think his Y&R days would last long), the Apple TV show stars Karolina Wydra, Carlos-Manuel Vesga, and guest stars Miriam Shor and Samba Schutte. Take a look at the trailer below.
