Pluribus is described as 'a genre-bending original in which the most miserable person on Earth must save the world from happiness.' Along with Seehorn, the cast includes Karolina Wydra (Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) and Carlos Manuel Vesga (The Hijacking of Flight 601), and guest stars Miriam Shor (Younger) and Samba Schutte (Our Flag Means Death).
Apple TV+ has also released a (kinda gross) first-look teaser for the series, with a woman licking every donut in a box next to a sign saying, 'Help Yourself!' Watch it here:
Much of Pluribus is still shrouded in mystery, but the title seems to come from the U.S. motto 'E pluribus unum,' or Latin for 'out of many, one.' (So the word 'many' is a key, somehow.) Plus, Apple TV+ released a teaser image for the series, featuring what looks like a petri dish with a smiley face drawn in some unknown substance, with the tagline: 'Happiness Is Contagious.' Does the story revolve around some sort of lab-grown virus, perhaps?
Gilligan dropped some teases about Pluribus a while back: 'I wouldn't call this heavy science fiction, I would call it mild science fiction… There's no crime, and no methamphetamine. It's going to be fun and different.' He added that 'Rhea will be playing a very different character than she played on Saul' and 'the world changes very abruptly in the first episode, and then it is quite different… and the consequences that that reaps hopefully provide drama for many, many episodes after that.'
The series was first announced in September 2022, with Apple TV+ handing it a two-season order. Seehorn recently wrapped up a six-season run as attorney Kim Wexler on Better Call Saul, earning two Emmy nominations for best supporting actress in a drama.

The Paper: The Office follow-up finally has a trailer, and it teases a familiar face
Dunder Mifflin became a household name in comedy thanks to the sitcom The Office. After years of chronicling the lives of Dunder Mifflin employees, the documentary crew has found a new subject in The Paper, a new Peacock sitcom and follow-up series to The Office. 'I hope it's not too disruptive to have me come in and sort of shake everything up,' Domhnall Gleeson's Ned Sampson says in the trailer. Ned joins the Toledo Truth Teller as its new editor-in-chief. The struggling Midwestern newspaper needs a fresh look, with Ned hoping to revitalize the company. Recommended Videos However, Ned faces an uphill battle to prominence because his staff is severely inexperienced. One staffer says he once wrote a paper in junior high, while another writer lists tweeting as his experience. Nonetheless, Ned remains steadfast in his mission to transform the Toledo Truth Teller into a respectable organization. At the end of the trailer, fans of The Office will recognize Oscar Martinez (Oscar Nuñez). 'I'm not agreeing to any of this,' Oscar passionately tells the documentary crew. The Paper's cast features Gleeson, Sabrina Impacciatore, Chelsea Frei, Melvin Gregg, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Alex Edelman, Ramona Young, Tim Key, and Oscar Nuñez. Guest stars include Eric Rahill, Tracy Letts, Molly Ephraim, Mo Welch, Allan Havey, Duane Shepard Sr., Nate Jackson, and Nancy Lenehan. Greg Daniels, who developed the American version of The Office, co-created The Paper with Nathan For You's Michael Koman. The Office ran for nine seasons on NBC from 2005 to 2013. It remains one of the most popular and beloved sitcoms of the 21st century. Daniels also directed the pilot. Executive producers include Daniels, Koman, Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant, Howard Klein, Ben Silverman, and Banijay Americas. The Paper premieres on Peacock with four episodes on September 4, 2025. Two new episodes will stream every Thursday through September 25.

KJ Apa Set to Star as James Stewart in Upcoming Biopic JIMMY — GeekTyrant
KJ Apa is stepping into the shoes of a Hollywood legend. The Riverdale star has officially signed on to play legendary actor James Stewart in an upcoming biopic titled Jimmy . The film will explore Stewart's journey from small-town Pennsylvania to Oscar-winning Hollywood actor and World War II hero. Apa shared his excitement about the role, saying: 'I have always been a huge James Stewart fan and feel so honored I get to bring his story to life. As someone from New Zealand, I've long admired that generation of American men who stood for patriotism, integrity, and a deep sense of duty. 'It is important to me to give back to a country that has given me so much, and what better way to do that than by honoring a man who served it with great honor.' Directed and produced by Aaron Burns, Jimmy will chronicle Stewart's early acting career, his Academy Award win for The Philadelphia Story , and his brave service in the U.S. Army Air Corps during World War II. The story continues with his post-war return to Hollywood and his iconic role in It's a Wonderful Life , directed by Frank Capra, who will be portrayed by Max Casella. The film also features Jason Alexander as Louis B. Mayer, Sarah Drew as Hedda Hopper, Julian Works as Second Lieutenant Martinez, and Jen Lilley as Stewart's wife, Gloria. Stewart's daughter, Kelly Stewart-Harcourt, is executive producing the project and voiced her support for Apa's casting. 'My family and I are delighted and excited that KJ Apa has agreed to play my father in this film,' she said. 'In addition to his considerable acting skills, KJ's enthusiasm for the project will only add to the energy and depth he will bring to the role.' Burns expressed how Stewart's real-life legacy inspired the film, saying, 'Jimmy Stewart is universally beloved as an actor. He truly embodied the everyman. We all know him from It's A Wonderful Life , but as I discovered his real-life story as a World War II military hero, I realized Jimmy's life makes for an amazing movie. 'I'm truly honored that Kelly Stewart-Harcourt and the Stewart family have entrusted Burns & Co. to share Jimmy with the world, and I'm excited to see KJ Apa and the rest of our amazing cast bring this story to life.' Scripted by Justin Strawhand, the film will be produced by Strawhand, Burns, David Cook, Angela Galgani Sullivan, and John Norton of Redted Media. Executive producers include Andre Caraco, Jack McClintock, Bob Gordon, Sam Juergens, Amy K. Mitchell, Edwina Forkin, Kip Konwiser, Walter Krumm III, and Brian Williams. Principal photography kicks off in West Cork, Ireland, on September 1, with the support of the Screen Ireland Nationwide Fund. Jimmy is set for a U.S. theatrical release in November 2026. Before that, Apa will be seen next in The Map That Leads to You , a romantic drama directed by Lasse Hallström and co-starring Madelyn Cline, premiering August 20 on Prime Video. Source: Variety
