The acclaimed sci-fi drama Silo has been renewed for two more seasons, with filming for Season 3 already underway in the UK. The announcement was made by Apple CEO Tim Cook, who joined series star and executive producer Rebecca Ferguson on the show’s expansive set at Hoddesdon Studios near London.
“We’re thrilled about it. We couldn’t be happier. Season 3 is already in production,” Cook shared during a visit to the Silo 18 cafeteria set. Ferguson added, “We get to re-enter this world under new circumstances and threats. It’s tense, mysterious, and utterly gripping.”
Based on Hugh Howey’s bestselling Silo book trilogy, the series is set in a post-apocalyptic world where the last remnants of humanity live in a massive underground structure, believing the surface is uninhabitable. Ferguson portrays Juliette, a determined engineer who seeks to uncover the truth behind her loved one’s death, ultimately challenging the secrets of the silo’s governing authorities.
The first season ended with a shocking twist as Juliette stepped outside Silo 18, defying centuries of warnings. The second season, currently streaming on Apple TV+, delves into the aftermath of her bold decision and the upheaval it brings to her world. New episodes of the 10-part season are released weekly, with the finale set to air on January 17.
According to the creators, the fourth season will mark the conclusion of the series, wrapping up the story in a gripping and satisfying way.
Reflecting on the success of Apple TV+, Cook noted that the streaming service, launched in November 2019, focuses on quality over quantity. “Like the rest of Apple, our goal is to be the best, not the biggest. With Silo, we’re showcasing high-quality storytelling led by exceptional talent,” he said. Cook also highlighted the importance of the UK as a hub for creative production, noting, “The UK is a fantastic place for storytellers and a wonderful environment for innovative projects like this.”
With its riveting narrative, top-tier production, and powerful performances, Silo continues to captivate viewers, solidifying its place as a standout in the sci-fi genre. Fans can look forward to more intrigue, tension, and surprises in the upcoming seasons.
