WhileBreaking Badis considered one of thebest crime TV shows of all time,Pluribusis a sci-fi thriller following Carol, the unhappiest person in the world tasked with rescuing Earth from happiness.
NowApple TV+has released a new teaser forPluribus, which seesBetter Call Saulstar Rhea Seehorn, who plays Carol, observing a ringing landline phone. The text urges her to call before offering up a phone number: (202) 808-3981. It’s unclear if Carol decides to pick up the phone by the time the teaser ends. Check it out below:
What Pluribus' New Teaser Says About The Sci-Fi Series
The Show Remains Shrouded In Mystery
The newest teaser is urging Carol to call the number featured in the video, with the formercast member ofBetter Call Saulnot sure if she should answer the ringing phone. Calling the number in real life, however, offers a message to Carol from someone on the other end of the line. The transcript for the call reads this:
Hi Carol. We’re so glad you called. We can’t wait for you to join us. Dial 0 and we’ll get back to you via text message.
Dialing 0 offers a text message directed toward Carol, saying that she “[has] agency.” Replying “YES” will sign one up for updates about the show, with the sender saying “we only want to make you happy.” While this doesn’t offer much information about thesci-fi TV show, it does reflect the happiness dilemma teased in the show’s description.
Although there’s still plenty of mystery surrounding what the show is actually about, it seems an organization is trying to get into contact with Carol, potentially trying to recruit her for something. Given the faux friendliness on the other end of the line, it seems like they could be involved in whatever happiness she’s combating. What it means remains unclear.
Our Take On Pluribus' Cryptic New Trailer
The Exact Nature Of What’s Going On Remains Unclear
Even though very little about the series has been revealed, this newest teaser compliments the announcement video, which saw a woman licking donuts meant to be passed out to other people. There seems to be a cult-like following that’s involved with what’s going on, potentially creating an epidemic involving happiness. How Carol factors into their plans is still unknown.
However, withPluribuspromising a very different type of story from Gilligan’sBreaking Badshows, the exact nature of what the series will entail remains to be seen. It appears the creator is pulling from his days as a writer onThe X-Filesto craft a cryptic new story. As for how it’ll play out, the mystery of happiness continues.
