The series also boasts guest stars Miriam Shor (American Fiction) and Samba Schutte (Our Flag Means Death).
A Highly-Anticipated Release
The launch of Pluribus has been surrounded by intense secrecy from Apple TV, with very little information revealed beyond its basic premise prior to the premiere. This marketing strategy, combined with the two-episode start, successfully built significant mystery and anticipation.
The show's impact was immediate, with the platform reportedly experiencing crashes during the launch of the first two episodes, as claimed by users on social media. With a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes already under its belt, the series is poised to be one of the standout streaming hits of the season.
