"If Pluribus fans understand anything by now, it's that the mysterious new Apple TV drama is far from predictableto say the absolute least. Following weeks of bizarre clips teasing the plot of Vince Gilligan's (Breaking Bad) latest series, the first few episodes finally revealed that the story follows an author named Carol (Rhea Seehorn) who finds herself the last hope for humanity in a post-apocalyptic Earth compromised by an alien virus."
"Ahead of episode 4which premieres this Fridayit seems that audiences may be closer to meeting this individual. In an exclusive new clip shared with Esquire, Pluribus introduces viewers to a new character played by actor Carlos-Manuel Vesga. Though viewers will have to wait for the new episode to confirm his identity, IMDb casting info lists Vesga as the actor playing Manousosthe Paraguayan man who is also immune to the virus."
"In the clip, Manousos appears to spend all his time scanning the radio for signs of life. He's methodical, yet unsuccessful. Plus, a notice on his desk reads (translated from Spanish): Warning! Payments 30 days late will result in the lock being cut and your belongings being removed. No exceptions. Much like Carol's overdue bills that no longer matter, I imagine that this note is shown simply to clue viewers in that we are meeting Manousos for the first time."
