As part of The Paley Center’s 43rd William S. Paley Television Festival, this festival program celebrates Pluribus, the thought-provoking series exploring identity, connection, and the pursuit of happiness in a complex, ever-evolving world. Held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, this PaleyFest LA 2026 event features a panel with cast members Rhea Seehorn (“Carol Sturka”), Karolina Wydra (“Zosia”), Carlos-Manuel Vesga (“Manousos”), and Samba Schutte (“Mr. Diabaté”), along with executive producer Gordon Smith and coexecutive producer/writer Jenn Carroll. Moderated by Yvette Nicole Brown.
The conversation explores the series’ central question—what does it truly mean to be happy—and how that idea shapes each character’s journey. Panelists discuss how they would personally navigate the world of Pluribus, offering insight into the emotional and philosophical challenges at the heart of the story, as well as the creative collaboration behind bringing this unique narrative to life.
