Some good news: Apple TV has finally unleashed the full-length trailer for Vince Gilligan\u2019s Pluribus<\/a> after weeks of vague (but tantalizing) teasers<\/a>. That\u2019s bound to make fans of Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, and frequent Gilligan collaborator Rhea Seehorn<\/a> happy, right? Okay, well here\u2019s the bad news: In the world of Pluribus, happiness is a disease that traps the afflicted in a sort of Borg-esque hive-mind. Even the president seems to be in on it. That\u2019s sure to put a damper on your day.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If so, that\u2019s exactly what Seehorn\u2019s character, Carol, wants, even if she doesn\u2019t know exactly how to go about her task of saving the world from becoming shiny happy automatons. \u201cHow do I reverse all this?\u201d she asks as she moves through a landscape that\u2019s both eerily empty and actively devolving. Smoke rises from a nearby city and people hose down fires with smiles on their faces. At one point, a buffalo appears as Carol hits balls on a deserted golf course. Nature may be healing, but that doesn\u2019t seem like a great sign for the human race.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In an interview with TV Insider<\/a> last month, Gilligan said the series would leave it to the audience to decide if its story was \u201cdystopic or utopic.\u201d The trailer definitely has a little bit of both. The President of the United States addresses Carol directly in a White House press briefing, which is obviously terrifying, but on the other hand, she does get a whole passenger jet to herself. That\u2019s the dream! At times, the trailer evokes past utopia-with-a-twist series, The Good Place. \u201cIf I ask right now, would you give me a hand grenade?\u201d Carol asks a friendly DHL employee (Robert Bailey Jr.). \u201cYes,\u201d he responds. He would even give her a bazooka or a tank\u2014in fact, he would \u201cmove heaven and earth\u201d to make her happy.<\/p>\n

Try to think sad thoughts before hitting play on the trailer below. The first two episodes of Pluribus premiere November 7 on Apple TV.<\/p>\n
