Apple TV has an absolutely wild batting average when it comes to hit series, and another home run was Vince Gilligan\u2019s Pluribus, the sci-fi series starring Better Call Saul\u2019s Rhea Stillhorn. It\u2019s up for a number of Emmys this year, but it has a problem. Like its sci-fi cohort, Severance, there are going to be yawning gaps between its seasons, something Gilligan has not tried to hide.<\/p>\n
Now, at least, we have a fresh update from Gilligan. On a recent podcast with Deadline<\/a>, Gilligan confirms that season 2 has been written, and filming will start \u201cin a couple months.\u201d Given the production timeline of season 1, we can map out when a likely release date would be.<\/p>\n Pluribus season 2 may not arrive for almost 3 years<\/p>\n Courtesy of Apple<\/p>\n While there are many reasons that shows take so, so long to come back in the streaming era, in this case, some are specific to Gilligan, who has previously said<\/a> that he does not write multiple-season arcs ahead of time:<\/p>\n “We break story brick by brick, and we regularly write ourselves into narrative corners… then we spend months figuring out how to break back out of them.”<\/p>\n Then, he\u2019s spoken about about why season 2 is taking so long<\/a> specifically, with this filming gap now almost a year:<\/p>\n “We are breaking the season right now. It is not going quite as fast as I would hope… We’re looking forward to people seeing it in eight or nine years when we get Season 2 finished.”<\/p>\n Ha ha. We laugh so we don\u2019t cry.<\/p>\n It seems a bit frustrating for Gilligan himself, but also fans. Not just because of the long wait, but because it\u2019s confusing to look back to his previous work and see that it took just over five years to air 62 episodes of Breaking Bad. We are getting 17-18 episodes of Pluribus in three years, it seems.<\/p>\n At least we finally have confirmation that writing is over and filming is starting soon, but yes, it\u2019s going to be a long, long wait from here, and I\u2019m not sure how much patience fans will have, no matter how much they liked the original offering.<\/p>\n Follow me <\/strong>on Twitter<\/strong><\/a>, <\/strong>YouTube<\/strong><\/a>,<\/strong><\/a> and <\/strong>Instagram<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Pick up my sci-fi novels the <\/strong>Herokiller series<\/strong><\/a> and <\/strong>The Earthborn Trilogy<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
