Apple TV+ series Pluribus was reportedly scheduled to begin filming its second season in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on October 31, 2026. Rhea Seehorn stars in the science-fiction drama created by Vince Gilligan.
The production date was reported as first reported by MacRumors, which attributed the timing to Production List. Apple has already commissioned the new season, extending the show beyond its November 7, 2025 debut.
Apple keeps a Gilligan series in production
The reported start gives Apple TV+ a concrete next step for one of its newer scripted originals. Gilligan is best known for creating Breaking Bad and co-creating Better Call Saul, while Seehorn earned wide recognition for her work on the latter series.
Pluribus arrived as a science-fiction drama and drew acclaim in coverage summaries of its first season. A second-season commission means Apple is continuing its investment in a creator with a long record in prestige television, at a time when streaming services have become more selective about returning scripted series.
For viewers, production progress matters because it moves the program closer to a follow-up after the first season’s 2025 premiere. For Apple TV+, the renewal also adds continuity to a catalog that competes for subscribers through exclusive series and recognizable creative talent.
Several production details remain undisclosed
The October 31 date should still be treated as a reported schedule rather than confirmation that cameras rolled that day. Accounts of the timing differed slightly: one described work as beginning on the day of its report, while another identified October 31 as the planned start. Apple has not announced a release date for season two, and no expected production timetable or episode count has been disclosed.
