As quickly as "Pluribus" came into our lives, it's leaving it. Yes, there are only a few more episodes left of the acclaimed Apple TV sci-fi drama, which has already scored Golden Globe and Critics' Choice nods for Best Drama and Best Actress for lead Rhea Seehorn, and which we've already dubbed the best TV show of 2025.
The series — which premiered on the streaming service on Nov. 7 — comes from "Breaking Bad" creator Vince Gilligan and reunites him with "Better Call Saul's" Seehorn, who plays Carol Sturka, an unhappy author found immune after an alien virus transforms the rest of humanity into a blissfully content hive mind, leaving her to uncover what's really going on and save humanity in the process.
The end is near for Carol and Co., so here's everything you need to know about when to expect the next new episode of "Pluribus," as well as the impending season finale.
What is the release date for 'Pluribus' episode 8 on Apple TV?
Episodes of "Pluribus" hit Apple TV on Fridays, so you can expect episode 8 — titled "Charm Offense" — to arrive on the streamer this Friday, December 19.
However, longtime Apple TV users know that, due to a glorious glitch, most of the streamer's series tend to pop up a bit early. So if you're a "Pluribus" fanatic, you'll be wanting to keep a watchful eye beginning Thursday, December 18 at 9 p.m. ET.
Per Apple TV, the episode 8 synopsis reads: “Carol takes a different tack with The Others and discovers more than she anticipated. Manousos awakens in unfamiliar surroundings.”
When is the season finale of 'Pluribus' on Apple TV?
The season finale of "Pluribus" will officially begin streaming on Apple TV on Friday, December 26. But remember what we said about that early-access hack! And due to the Christmas holiday, it might even drop a few days earlier, as Apple did with the "Pluribus" the week of Thanksgiving.
