Silo is based on Hugh Howey's bestselling trilogy of dystopian novels. Starring Rebecca Ferguson, the cast also stars Common, Harriet Walter, Chinaza Uche, Avi Nash, David Oyelowo, Rashida Jones and Tim Robbins.
The story revolves around the last 10,000 people on Earth who live in a house miles deep that protects them from the toxic and deadly outside world. However, no one knows when or why the silo was built and anyone trying to find out will face fatal consequences. Juliette (Ferguson) is an engineer searching for answers about the murder of a loved one and stumbles upon a mystery far deeper than she could have imagined, leading her to discover that if the lies don't kill you, the truth will.
The series started in May and the eighth episode of the ten-episode first season will be released this Friday.
“It is immensely gratifying to see the compelling, atmospheric, and beautifully crafted sci-fi epic Silo quickly become Apple's top drama,” said Matt Cherniss, director of programming for Apple TV+. "Audiences around the world have been captivated by the mysteries and conspiracies that lurk in this fascinating underground world. The viewership continues to grow and we are so excited that season two will reveal even more secrets of the silo ."
"We can't wait for audiences around the world to immerse themselves in the epic world we've created to bring Hugh Howey's novels to life," said Yost. "Apple has believed in our vision from day one and it's an honor to have the opportunity to dive deeper into this story and peel back the layers of our characters in the silo."
More information and a start date for season two of Silo will be announced in the future.
