Apple TV‘s most sensational sci-fi series of 2025 was easily Pluribus, the long-awaited Better Call Saul follow-up from Vince Gilligan that gave Rhea Seehorn the role of a lifetime. In fact, the series was so good that even after one episode, fans were demanding more. Season 2 was greenlit, but news of it moving forward has been extremely hard to find. And now, the timeline for that second season just got a lot longer, because Seehorn is now no longer available for the foreseeable.
Seehorn has joined the cast of Running, a new Apple Studios feature film from director Gavin O’Connor and writer Bill Dubuque. The film, which is produced by Makeready alongside Nike Films, is based on an original story by O’Connor and Dubuque. It follows a homeless high school running prodigy chasing greatness while trying to outrun his past and find a family. Seehorn joins previously announced stars Spike Fearn and Brian Tyree Henry. O’Connor has previously opened up on why he’s making Running, saying:
“I started thinking about building a story around a homeless kid who doesn’t have a place in the world. No love. No friends. No family. The only home he knows is the streets. It felt like a great place to begin a character’s journey and tell an underdog story about the human spirit.”
Seehorn is best known for playing Kim Wexler in Better Call Saul, a role that earned her two Primetime Emmy nominations for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series. She also received an Emmy nomination for Cooper’s Bar, which she produced, and has appeared in Veep, The Act, The Twilight Zone, and the psychological thriller Sender.
What’s ‘Pluribus’ About?
Pluribus stars Seehorn as Carol Sturka, a romantasy writer (think Sarah J. Maas, Rebecca Yarros) who finds herself as one of a handful of people across the planet unaffected by a weird global event, in which the world has been overtaken by a mysterious wave of forced happiness. Almost everyone on Earth is absorbed into a peaceful, euphoric hive mind called “the Others,” and it’s all very lovey-dovey except there’s no more free will. So Carol tries to find a way to reverse it and figure out if a happy world is worth living in.
Pluribus Season 1 is streaming now on Apple TV.
