A dystopian science fiction drama series Silo is inspired by the novels Wool, Shift, and Dust. These novels belong to the trilogy of books authored by Hugh Howey. The series focuses on a dystopian future where the last few thousand people live in an underground silo.
In the series, people live underground to keep themselves safe from the outside, which has become toxic. While nobody knows anything about how the silo came into existence, a curious engineer finds herself entangled in the mysteries and lies of the silo.
The cast features David Oyelowo, Rebecca Ferguson, Rashida Jones, Tim Robbins, Common, Avi Nash, Harriet Walter, Rick Gomez, Steve Zahn, and Chinaza Uche. The Apple TV+ series is currently releasing episodes from its second season.
Season 2 of the series is scheduled to drop its last episode on January 17, 2025. The series has also been renewed for a third and fourth season. The fourth season will be the last season of the series and will conclude the story of the three novels.
Will there be a season 3 and 4 for Silo?
Apple TV+ has announced that the series will be renewed for seasons 3 and 4. The streaming platform also announced that season four will be the last and final season of the series.
As the series announced that season 4 would be its last season, showrunners and cast members of the series have already begun to express how they feel about the next two seasons being the last few seasons. Rebecca Ferguson, who serves as the executive producer and protagonist of the series, stated,
"I've loved every minute of bringing Juliette to the screen and am immensely proud of what we've all created with 'Silo' since the first episode. I have always felt passionately about telling the entire story contained within Hugh Howey's books, so I couldn't be happier that audiences around the world have enthusiastically embraced the show."
She continued,
"Alongside our partners at Apple, Graham, and the entire cast and crew, I cannot wait to dive into these final two thought-provoking seasons that will beautifully conclude this dystopian tale."
While talking about the upcoming seasons, Graham Yost, who serves as the showrunner and executive producer, stated,
"It has been a richly rewarding experience to adapt Hugh's epic novels with our partners at Apple and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to bring this complete story to the screen over the course of four seasons. With the final two chapters of 'Silo', we can't wait to give fans of the show an incredibly satisfying conclusion to the many mysteries and unanswered questions contained within the walls of these silos."
When will seasons 3 and 4 be filmed?
Seasons 3 and 4 of the Apple TV+ series will be filmed together. Recently, Tim Cook and Rebecca Ferguson sat in an interview with Empire Magazine's Pilot TV podcast. When asked about whether she was prepared to film both seasons simultaneously, Ferguson stated,
"I have scheduled my home life. I've got my Pilates in. I've got a reformer on set. No, it's wonderful. And also sort of when you get involved in something like this, the books are a certain quantity and mass, and we all knew ho far it would have to go."
She went on,
"It's more, will the audience like it? And the fact that it's going so well, it's just such a sort of homage to all of us being involved in it. So yeah, it's phenomenal that we get to do season three and four, and even if it's long, it's going to take the time it takes. And I'm excited."
