The first time we meet Carol, she's in a Dallas Barnes & Noble reading from Bloodsongs of Wycaro, the fourth book in her wildly popular Wycaro series, which follows the adventures of the sand pirate Lucasia and the rogue who has captured her heart. The members of her audience technically aren't the living dead, but they all want a piece of the author. Carol, in turn, is barely able to mask her disdain even as she enjoys the spoils of their adoration.

We knew it was Apple TV's next big bet in experimental sci-fi, a market the streamer had cornered with series like , Foundation, and For All Mankind. But unlike those series, the plot wasn't immediately obvious. You can describe the premise of something like very easily, but the only description for Pluribus described it as: "following the most miserable person on Earth and the one who must save the world from happiness." And the official trailer didn't reveal much else.
