"It's a good thing that we already know a second season of Pluribus is on the way. Because the season finale for the show - a sci-fi drama on Apple TV, helmed by Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan - made it clear that things are just getting started. The episode brought together a number of significant threads but, more importantly, opened up potentially explosive (literally) new lines of inquiry for what comes next."
"First, a little reminder of how we got here. The inciting incident of Pluribus was the release of a virus of unknown, but extraterrestrial, origins, that turned almost the entirety of the Earth's human population into an interconnected hive mind. The hive are peaceful, to the point that they won't even kill a bug or pick an apple off of a tree, and they are physically harmed by negative emotions."
A virus of unknown extraterrestrial origin transforms nearly all humans into a peaceful, interconnected hive mind that is physically harmed by negative emotions and refuses to kill or take fruit. Roughly a dozen people remain uninfected, including Carol (Rhea Seehorn) and Manousos (Carlos-Manuel Vesga), who navigate a world fundamentally altered by collective consciousness. The season finale ties significant storylines together while revealing new, potentially explosive conflicts and questions about the hive's nature and external threats. The finale establishes that the story is only beginning and lays groundwork for season two, which has already been confirmed.
