The first season of Apple TV+’s sci-fi mystery series Silo was a spectacular series. The creative team behind the development of that show did such an awesome job bringing that story to life, and it sounds like Season 2 is going to be even better!
Rebecca Ferguson recently revealed that Silo Season 2 had completed filming, and the author of the Silo novel series, which is titled the “Wool” series, Hugh Howey, has seen it, and he shared his thoughts on it, which are sure to get fans excited.
He said on social media: “I’ve seen season two and it’s one of the best things I’ve ever seen.” That’s some epic hype right there and I couldn’t be more excited to watch it!
The series is based on Howey’s trilogy of dystopian novels, and it tells the story of the “last ten thousand people on earth, their mile-deep home protecting them from the toxic and deadly world outside. However, no one knows when or why the silo was built and any who try to find out face fatal consequences.”
After its sheriff breaks a cardinal rule and residents die mysteriously, engineer Juliette, who is played by Rebecca Ferguson, “seeks answers about a loved one’s murder and tumbles onto a mystery that goes far deeper than she could have ever imagined, leading her to discover that if the lies don’t kill you, the truth will. She starts to uncover shocking secrets and the truth about the silo.”
Ferguson talked about the future of the series, saying: “I believe that the show has an ending, and I know when that is. So, that’s the answer. You will find out when the show is done.”
She added: “To be honest, I don’t think it’s a secret. The books are the books. It’s three books, and the three books are divided into four seasons. So, I believe, unless any Apple person is gonna jump on, I think we’re absolutely fine with saying Season 1, we’ve done. Season 2 is shot and coming out, and we’re now looking at green-lighting Seasons 3 and 4. And I think we would film them maybe together, and that would be the end.”
When previously talking about Season 2, Matt Cherniss, head of programming for Apple TV+ said in a statement: “It has been enormously fulfilling to see the engrossing, atmospheric and beautifully crafted sci-fi epic Silo quickly become Apple’s number one drama series.”
He added: “As audiences around the world have become gripped by the mysteries and conspiracies buried within this fascinating subterranean world, viewership only continues to climb, and we are so excited for more secrets of the silo to be revealed in season two.”
The series was created and written by Graham Yost (Band of Brothers, Justified), and he shared: “We cannot wait for audiences around the world to immerse themselves in the epic world we have created to bring Hugh Howey’s novels to life.”
He continued: “Apple has believed in our vision from day one and it’s an honor to have the opportunity to dig deeper into this story and peel back the layers to our characters in the Silo.”
Ferguson is joined in the series by a great ensemble cast that includes Common, Harriet Walter, Chinaza Uche, Avi Nash, David Oyelowo, Rashida Jones and Tim Robbins.
Silo Season 2 doesn’t have a release date yet.
