Vince Gilligan and composer Dave Porter have been collaborating for 18 years, and their latest project, Apple TV's Pluribus, has received 18 Emmy nominations. Porter has been nominated for three Emmys for his work on the show, including Outstanding Music Composition for a Series and Original Main Title Theme Music.

The duo recently discussed their collaboration on the Deadline Crew Call podcast, where Gilligan shared updates on the show's second season. Filming for season 2 is expected to start in a couple of months, with a release date likely in late 2027. This comes after a successful first season, which premiered on November 7, 2025, and received widespread critical acclaim.

Gilligan has planned for Pluribus to last at least three seasons, and Apple TV executive Eddy Cue has expressed confidence in the show's future. Cue stated that he has not seen any of the scripts for season 2 yet, but he is not worried, given Gilligan's track record. Pluribus star Karolina Wydra also expects to return to Albuquerque to film season 2 in the fall.

The show's main title theme, composed by Porter, has been praised for its unique and haunting sound. Porter explained that the theme is meant to present two sides of an argument, reflecting the show's exploration of dichotomies and ambiguity. The theme has been recognized by the Television Academy, with Porter's nomination for Original Main Title Theme Music.

## What's Next The release date for Pluribus season 2 is likely to be in late 2027, although the exact date has not been confirmed. Given the production timeline of season 1, which took 21 months from filming to release, it is likely that season 2 will follow a similar schedule. This would mean a gap of around two years and eight months between seasons, although this has not been officially confirmed.
