Pluribus Cast Doesn’t Know a Thing About Season 2 — And That’s Exactly How Vince Gilligan Wants It

If you are waiting on Pluribus season 2 news, join the club. Even the people making Apple TV's sci-fi phenom are still in the dark about what comes next.

The cast is in the dark by design

Karolina Wydra, who plays Zosia, says that secrecy is very much a Vince Gilligan thing. In a new chat with GamesRadar+, she explained that the creator keeps the cards close and reveals the story piece by piece. And no, she is not mad about it. For an actor, not knowing the big twists helps her play the moment instead of trying to hint at where things are headed.

'We don't know what the future is. I think Vince is still writing and discovering it.'

That approach does make a certain kind of sense when you look at where season 1 landed.

The finale twist that proves her point

Season 1 ends with a nasty left turn: Zosia and The Others tell Carol (Rhea Seehorn) they plan to use her frozen eggs to fold her into the hivemind. It is a wild reveal, and Wydra says that if she had known that endgame early, it might have leaked into her performance in unhelpful ways — a little extra menace here, a stray secretive beat there. By not having the intel, she could just play the truth of each scene without accidentally tipping anything.

What we actually know about season 2

• Vince Gilligan has started up the season 2 writers room — he confirmed to Radio Times that it kicked off in November.
• The main cast, including Wydra, have not been told what is next; Gilligan is still building it.
• Translation: it may be a while before Carol, Zosia, and Manousos are back on our screens.

In the meantime, if you are still reeling from that eggs-to-hivemind bomb, Rhea Seehorn has also talked through Carol's big finale moment elsewhere. Until Gilligan opens the vault again, that is the update: the show is cooking, the cast is waiting, and so are we.
