The acclaimed Apple TV show that imagines a world in which happiness spreads like a virus, forcing all but a few mysteriously immune people like Carol Sturka (Seehorn) into a hive mind, received a whopping 18 Emmy nominations and took home everything from Gilligan’s first individual win for Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series to Seehorn’s first win for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series. asserted

“Flawed and reluctant, but a well-meaning hero nonetheless, Seehorn’s Carol is a bestselling author of the Winds of Wycaro romance series. asserted

Professionally, she’s thriving, but she’s emotionally unfulfilled by her job, has an unhealthy relationship with alcohol, and feels the need to hide crucial parts of herself from readers. asserted

Pluribus dubs her the most miserable person on Earth, and when the world changes in unprecedented ways, she makes it her mission to save others from happiness. asserted

Along the way, Gilligan and team challenge us to examine the dystopic costs of pursuing a utopia. asserted

The title and several key concepts explored in Pluribus were inspired by America’s motto, “E pluribus unum,” which translates to “Out of many, one” in Latin. asserted

So pluribus means “many,” and just as the motto envisions all states and people from the country coming together as one united nation, Pluribus sees almost everyone in the world come together through a shared happiness hive mind. asserted
