At the 2026 Emmys, where "Pluribus" won six awards including recognition for Vince Gilligan and Rhea Seehorn, updates were given about the series' second season. Season 1 ended with nine episodes, and while a second season has already been greenlit, there is no confirmed premiere date yet. During the event, Gilligan revealed that only two of the upcoming season's scripts have been fully written, suggesting a delayed release possibly in late 2028.
