TL;DR
Apple TV posted a behind-the-scenes video on its YouTube channel documenting the production of Pluribus season one. The clip includes set construction, location scouting, choreography notes and the moment Vince Gilligan told principal cast members the series name and its meaning.
What happened
As Pluribus concluded its first season, Apple TV uploaded a behind-the-scenes feature to its YouTube channel that collects interviews and production footage from season one. The video shows how multiple sets were built — including Carol’s neighborhood and a recreation of Air Force One — and explains how locations were chosen to represent the show’s many countries. It also highlights the choreography used to stage interactions with a group labelled the “Others.” In one segment Vince Gilligan, credited for Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad, informs cast members Rhea Seehorn, Karolyna Wydra and Carlos-Manuel Vesga that the series title is Pluribus and offers an explanation of the word. The feature carries spoilers for the nine episodes of season one, and viewers are advised to watch the season before viewing the clip if they want to avoid plot details.
