Summary

"Pluribus" is an American post-apocalyptic science fiction television series created by Vince Gilligan for Apple TV. Set and filmed primarily in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the series follows novelist Carol Sturka (Rhea Seehorn), who finds herself isolated after an alien virus transforms the rest of humanity into a peaceful, content hive mind that nevertheless seeks to assimilate her and other immune individuals. The series has received acclaim from critics, with praise for Gilligan's writing and direction, Seehorn's performance, and the show's originality, tone, and stylistic influences. It was nominated for two Golden Globe Awards and two Critics' Choice Awards, with Seehorn winning Best Actress in a Drama Series in both ceremonies. Karolina Wydra was kind enough to spend some time talking with us about her work and experience making the series, which you can listen to below.
