Vince Gilligan has provided updates regarding the production of the second season of the Apple TV science fiction series ‘Pluribus Hive’. 

Initial reports indicate that while the story for the second season has been mapped out, scripts are still being written and filming has not yet begun. The production faces logistical hurdles, including international filming locations and a complex post-production process required to maintain the show’s depopulated setting by digitally erasing background elements from shots.

In subsequent updates, Gilligan discussed the writing team’s progress in ‘breaking’ the upcoming season. He noted the creative pressure to resolve narrative threads from the first season, specifically involving the character Carol Sturka, played by Rhea Seehorn.
