Vince Gilligan and Rhea Seehorn reunite to make the world miserable in Pluribus teaser

Unfortunately for them, the release of the show’s first teaser is going to make that quest a little bit harder. In it, an unnamed character pulls an Ariana Grande and slowly, deliberately licks a box of donuts while an unsettling score plays in the background. Creepy! “Help yourself!” a note below the donuts reads, which bears the same lopsided, petri dish smile the streamer has been teasing for a few days now. It seems the show’s tagline, “Happiness is Contagious,” may be literal.

Pluribus reunites Gilligan with Emmy-nominated Better Call Saul star, Rhea Seehorn. The show is still holding a lot of its plot details very close to the chest, so it isn’t 100% clear whether Seehorn is “the most miserable person on Earth,” but that feels like a pretty likely assumption. Other stars that may be trying to infect the world with sinister happiness include Karolina Wydra, Carlos-Manuel Vesga, Miriam Shor, and Samba Schutte. 

The show doesn’t premiere on Apple TV+ until November, but there’s still one reason to smile: it’s already been picked up for a second season, per a press release. The miserable hero’s job just keeps getting harder.
