Vince Gilligan’s New Apple TV Series Set to Address Better Call Saul Injustice
Vince Gilligan’s upcoming series, Pluribus, is set to challenge past injustices associated with the acclaimed show Better Call Saul. As the 2026 Golden Globe nominations have been announced, hopes are rising for Gilligan to receive well-deserved recognition.
Awards Season and Nominations
The awards season is heating up as Pluribus receives two notable nominations for the 2026 Golden Globes:
- Best TV Series, Drama
- Best Female Actor, TV Series Drama for Rhea Seehorn
With these nominations, Pluribus aims to garner significant acclaim. Past experiences have shown that shows are less likely to be canceled following major industry awards recognition.
Rhea Seehorn as a Frontrunner
Rhea Seehorn’s portrayal of Carol Sturka in Pluribus has made her a strong contender in the Best Female Actor category. She faces competition from notable actresses, including:
- Kathy Bates in Matlock
- Britt Lower in Severance
- Helen Mirren in MobLand
- Bella Ramsey in The Last of Us
- Keri Russell in The Diplomat
Seehorn’s impressive ability to blend comedic relief with deep emotional resonance sets her apart, making her a likely frontrunner not just for the Golden Globe, but also for an upcoming Emmy nomination.
Correcting Past Injustices
A win for Rhea Seehorn at the Golden Globes or the Emmys would finally address the Better Call Saul snub. In her previous role as Kim Wexler, Seehorn received neither Golden Globe nominations nor Emmy wins, despite critical praise. Pluribus represents a pivotal opportunity for her career, allowing her to gain the recognition she truly deserves.
Details on Pluribus
Pluribus is set to premiere on Apple TV+ on November 6, 2025, and is helmed by directors Adam Bernstein, Zetna Fuentes, and Melissa Bernstein, with a writing team led by Ariel Levine.
As anticipation builds, fans and critics alike are eager to see if this new series will not only earn the accolades but also rectify past oversights in awards recognition for Gilligan’s work.
