Pluribus Adds Samba Schutte as a Series Regular for Season 2

Schutte’s role expands

Schutte played Mr. Diabaté in two episodes of the first season. His character is among the small number of people whose consciousness has not been absorbed into an extraterrestrial collective mind.

Unlike Carol Sturka, played by Rhea Seehorn, Mr. Diabaté enjoys the changed world. He lives in a Las Vegas casino hotel, where his wishes are met.

Season two is in production

Pluribus is currently filming its second season. Apple TV has not said when the new episodes will premiere. Schutte joins Seehorn, Karolina Wydra and Carlos-Manuel Vesga as a regular cast member. His work in season one brought him a Saturn Award nomination for best guest star.

Awards and production team

The first season received six Emmy Awards, including lead actress recognition for Seehorn and a writing award for creator Vince Gilligan. The series also received a Peabody Award.

Sony Pictures TV produces the show. Gilligan executive produces alongside Gordon Smith, Alison Tatlock, Diane Mercer, Jeff Frost, Jenn Carroll and Trina Siopy.

Schutte’s other credits

Schutte’s credits include HBO Max’s Our Flag Means Death and NBC’s Sunnyside. He has also voiced characters in Jurassic World: Chaos Theory, several Call of Duty: Black Ops games and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.
