In the last few years, Apple TV has quietly become a go-to streaming service for prestige TV, especially when it comes to the sci-fi genre. One of the streamer’s first true sci-fi hits was See, starring Jason Momoa, which ran for three seasons before wrapping up in 2022. Another popular sci-fi show to blossom under the Apple TV banner is For All Mankind, starring Joel Kinnaman, which has now been around for five seasons — Apple TV has already renewed the show for Season 6, confirming that it will be the final season of the show. After releasing several critically acclaimed sci-fi shows in the early 2020s, Apple TV found a culture-changing sci-fi hit with Severance, the mind-melting thriller starring Adam Scott and directed/produced by Ben Stiller.
Even through the release of its second season back in early 2025, Severance was the most-watched Apple TV sci-fi show of all time. It wasn’t until the premiere of Pluribus later in the year that Severance no longer held the record, but there’s no shame in coming in second, right? As if a new Apple TV sci-fi show needed anything to boost the hype, Pluribus was written and created for TV by Vince Gilligan, the same scribe who wrote Breaking Bad. The show also stars Rhea Seehorn, famed for her role in the Breaking Bad spin-off, Better Call Saul. After shattering Severance’s record to become the most-watched Apple TV sci-fi show of all time, Pluribus was officially renewed for Season 2. Creator Vince Gilligan was recently asked on a podcast if he had anything new to share about Pluribus Season 2, he confirmed that filming will begin “in a couple of months.”
Here’s When ‘Pluribus’ Season 2 Comes Out
Apple TV has not yet announced a release date for Pluribus Season 2, but now that we know it’s set to begin filming before the end of the year, we have some idea of when the show will return to streaming. It took around nine months to film the first season of Pluribus, so if Season 2 starts production around November, it will be shooting until next year, around August. If Pluribus Season 2 doesn’t wrap until Q3 of 2027, this would make it tough for the series to premiere before the end of next year, leaving the most likely release date for Pluribus Season 2 early 2028.
