One of the strongest qualities Vince has is his ability to put together a phenomenal writers room. They’ll figure out what to do with the device, and it will very likely be awesome.
The problem is that it’ll be forever before we see what they do with it.

Biggest fumble imaginable.
This show has a cast of 4 characters (and 1000 interchangeable extras). It was picked up for two seasons initially. There’s absolutely no reason they shouldn’t have had season 2 written and in production by the time season 1 started airing.
No longer sure what to do with the cliffhanger you ended your very first season on? Everything I read about this show and the making of it reaffirms my opinion on it.

It’s becoming impossible to support streaming shows. I’m so over waiting YEARS between seasons of less than 10 episodes. I mean, it’s not like there’s a ton of post production with zero CGI.

The first season was extremely repetitve it was like 4 episodes of dramatic content strecthed out to 9 episodes.

I’m not sure I’m even going to be alive by the time season two comes out.
edit: I do have a glimmer of hope, he managed to pump out 12 seasons of TV between Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul over the span of 14 years.

Most people would be surprised to learn him and his team wrote Breaking Bad season-to-season too. They didn’t have a grand plan and never knew how many seasons they would run

Pretty sure this is gonna get shelved and 10 years down the line we’ll see a “Whatever happened to Pluribus” and then we’ll start comparing Vince Gilligan to George Martin.

It’s a pretty obvious mutually assured destruction situation. It’s not extremely effective with just one, but it can be a way to push back against a forced assimilation.

You dont need to do anything with it… its a deterent; if they try to come and give her that shot; she pushes a button and destroys herself.

Giving writer rooms too much free time has irreparably destroyed TV. If he was operating under a strict time restraint rn and had a contract that said that he had to put out a new season by October of 2026, I guarantee you they would already be shooting the new season.
Show writers are at their absolute best when under time constraints. I know that sounds harsh but it’s 100% the truth. By the time he probably finishes writing a new season it will be more than 2 years after filming for the first season ended. It completely ruins a writers flow because too much free time lets writers dwell on too many details, second guess their work, and over analyze certain aspects of the show. But worst of all, it lets them get sucked into the show fandom with fans dictating to the writers what “should” happen next.
It makes sense for some shows to have multi-year breaks if each season needs a ton of extra editing work and large ensemble casts that can make booking a complete nightmare. But a show like Pluribus where the cast is small, relatively easy to book, does not need mammoth set pieces and a lot of extra editing, should NOT be taking multi-year breaks. That sets a horrendous precedent going forward in TV.

Late 2027 schedule is not realistic?? Oh man, that sucks.
I enjoyed season 1 a lot and love Gilligan´s work but these longer and longer gaps between seasons are terrible.

Insane where we are with season releases these days. Pluribus is on some Severance level fuckery where it’s going to take us upwards of 3 years to get every season, even though 80-90% of the show is shot in boring locations requiring minimal or no cgi.
I didn’t hate season one, but it was agonizingly slow – the same events could have happened in half the episodes and it still could have kept a leisurely, well-filmed pace. Absolutely not going to wait 12 years for this 4 or 5 season arc to end, could not care less.

Honestly they should just make tvs shows all anthologies at this point because even shows I really like are forgotten in the 3 years it takes to make the 2nd season

Hope he doesn’t go the Stranger Things route and just ignore it, like when the military just put a metal band-aid on a giant crack in the earth through Hawkins.
A bad way to take this is just to have Carol tell the hive mind to get rid of it at the start of the season and then move the story along as if it didn’t happen

Gotta say, I’m glad I didn’t jump on this show when it premiered. I’m always skeptical these days of any new “prestige” show because it’s basically a given that there will be an insanely long wait between seasons, and it seems like this is shaping up to go that way.
GiantTourtiere on
Ahhh that’s frustrating. Like I can see writing that as a cool final scene, especially if you didn’t know you were even going to get renewed, but there should be at least a vague concept of what happens next in case you do.
It was a really intriguingly written season but this gives me rather less confidence about what season 2 is going to be like if the plan is just vibes, baby!

Just a reminder that they won awards, and many people praise this show, lol. I’m a fan of the work with BCS and BB, but this felt like I wasted my time for no reason, and towards the end, the main character just became highly unlikable. Literally, there are so many good shows out there, and the fact that people are pushing this one down onto other throats because of the director or the main actor being a woman is a huge shame.

I think the final season of Breaking Bad is one of the most overrated seasons of television ever, and the problem for me is the fact that they obviously don’t have a plan. They set a bunch of things up and figure they will find a way to solve it later

Gilligan started BB planning on putting Jesse in a bag before season 2. I’m gonna go out on a limb and have some faith he can land this plane
