Pluribus Cast Left in the Dark on Season 2 Plans
Apple TV’s Pluribus stars are kept in the dark about season 2, as Vince Gilligan keeps all details close to his chest, letting the actors focus on their roles without any spoilers.
While fans are keen for any hint about what’s next for Pluribus, the main cast are just as much in the dark. The much-hyped Apple TV sci-fi series has its stars waiting alongside the rest of us, with no word on what season 2 might bring. Karolina Wydra, who plays Zosia, shared that Vince Gilligan, the show’s creator, is famously tight-lipped about future storylines. He only lets slip small bits of information as needed, keeping everyone guessing.
Wydra reckons this approach actually helps her stay focused on the present. Without knowing what’s coming, she can fully commit to her character’s current situation, rather than worrying about what’s around the corner. She pointed out the shock twist at the end of the first season as a perfect example of how well this method works. The cast had no idea what was coming, which made their reactions all the more genuine.
Gilligan’s Secretive Style
Vince Gilligan is known for keeping his cards close to his chest. He doesn’t hand out scripts or plot points ahead of time, even to the main actors. This means that the cast, including those playing Carol, Zosia, and Manousos, are left to discover the story as it unfolds. Wydra said,
“Vince Gilligan keeps everything to himself and reveals details little by little.”
This way, the actors can focus on their performances without being distracted by what might happen next.
For some, this might sound frustrating, but the Pluribus cast seem to take it in their stride. They trust Gilligan’s vision and are happy to go along for the ride, even if it means being left in the dark. The surprise betrayal in the season one finale is a testament to how effective this approach can be, catching both the audience and the actors off guard.
Waiting Game for Season 2
Work on the next season has already kicked off, with the writers’ room getting started back in November. But with Gilligan’s secretive style, it could be a while before anyone—cast or fans—gets a proper look at what’s in store. There’s no word yet on when Carol, Zosia, and Manousos will be back on our screens, so punters will have to be patient.
For now, the cast are content to wait, trusting that whatever Gilligan has planned will be worth it. As Wydra sees it, not knowing what’s coming next just makes the experience more exciting, both for the actors and for everyone watching at home.
