Apple TV surprised fans yesterday with the release of a laugh-filled blooper reel for the first season of Pluribus, the post-apocalyptic sci-fi series from “Breaking Bad” creator Vince Gilligan.
The official @AppleTV account on X posted the nearly 90-second compilation with the simple caption: “#Pluribus bloopers have arrived.” The video quickly racked up thousands of likes and enthusiastic replies from viewers thrilled to see the lighter side of the dark comedy-drama.
“Pluribus” follows Carol Sturka (Rhea Seehorn), “the most miserable person on Earth,” who remains immune when a mysterious wave of forced happiness overtakes the planet. Tasked with saving humanity from its artificial bliss, Carol navigates a bizarre new world alongside a small group of fellow skeptics. The nine-episode first season premiered in November 2025 and is currently streaming on Apple TV, with a second season already ordered.
The blooper reel captures the cast—led by Seehorn — in a series of mishaps between takes. Fans have been particularly amused by Seehorn’s frequent “klutzy” moments, including dropped props, stumbles, and perfectly timed comedic reactions that contrast sharply with her character’s intense on-screen persona. One viewer even playfully dubbed her the “set klutz” in the most affectionate way possible.

Social media reactions have been overwhelmingly positive, with fans thanking Apple TV for the fun behind-the-scenes treat and some asked for more behind-the-scenes content. The lighthearted video serves as a perfect palate cleanser for the show’s ultra-dark tone.

You know what would be better than a blooper reel?
Not having to wait years between seasons.
If NBC could figure this out in the middle of the 20th century, surely Apple, with all its resources and brilliance, could solve this in 2026.
