Emmy-Nominated Actress Returns in Highly Anticipated Series
Rhea Seehorn, the American actress best known for her role as Kim Wexler in Better Call Saul, has taken on a new leading role as Carol Sturka in Apple TV+’s science fiction thriller series Pluribus. The nine-episode drama series made its global debut on Apple TV+ with its first two episodes on 7 November 2025, with new episodes released weekly through 26 December.
A Role Written Specifically for Seehorn
Creator Vince Gilligan wrote the main role specifically for Seehorn without telling her, whilst continuing to work on Better Call Saul. In the series, Seehorn portrays Carol Sturka, a cynical fantasy romance author who discovers she is one of 13 people immune to an alien virus that transforms humanity into a hive mind. The genre-bending series follows the most miserable person on Earth as she must save the world from happiness.
Critical Acclaim and Recognition
Seehorn’s performance in Pluribus has earned her a Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Actress in a Television Series Drama and her fourth Critics’ Choice Television Award nomination. The series has already been renewed for a second season, demonstrating strong confidence from Apple TV+ in the project.
Building on a Distinguished Career
Seehorn’s performance in Better Call Saul earned her a Television Critics Association Award for Individual Achievement in Drama, along with three Primetime Emmy Award nominations for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series. Her collaboration with Gilligan continues to showcase her remarkable range, from the complex Kim Wexler to the misanthropic yet compelling Carol Sturka.
Looking Ahead
As Pluribus continues to captivate audiences with its thought-provoking exploration of individuality versus collective consciousness, Seehorn’s performance stands at the heart of the series. For viewers who appreciated her nuanced work in Better Call Saul, Pluribus offers another opportunity to witness one of television’s most talented actresses at the height of her powers, tackling questions about human nature, creativity, and what it truly means to be oneself in a world that demands conformity.
