Apple TV+ is upgrading actor Samba Schutte to a series regular for the upcoming second season of “Pluribus.” Multiple outlets report that Schutte, who previously appeared as Mr. Diabaté in Season 1, is now being elevated for Season 2 while production is underway.
The coverage aligns on the basic facts: Schutte’s promotion, his Season 1 guest-starring role, and that his character is associated with a particular outlook toward the outbreak. Several outlets add similar character context, describing Mr. Diabaté as someone who remains immune and pursues a luxury, pleasure-focused lifestyle. One outlet frames the change as a “tease” about what could be coming in Season 2, while others state the promotion more directly. Coverage also notes that Schutte appeared in limited parts of the first season, with one report specifying two episodes.
Overall, the story is treated as a cast update tied to the show’s second-season development, with minor differences in how much character detail is included and how prominently the news is positioned as a plot hint.
