Apple TV's Silo Season 2 finally concluded its sophomore season with a gritting finale, which left the fates of Juliette and Bernard in the fire.
While it is expected that Juliette will sustain this incident, thanks to Solo's orange suit, the same cannot be said about Bernard.
Silo Seasons 1 and 2 adapted Hugh Howey's book Wool, which is the first book in his trilogy of the Silo books. Silo Season 3 will adapt his second book Shift.
While the show closet followed the source material, there were still many changes in the show, and here are some changes observed in Season 2 from the book.
Every major change in Silo Season 2 compared to Howey's Wool
1) Lukas maintains a relationship with Juliette and is Bernard's first choice
Season 1 hinted at a romance between Lukas and Juliette, but as the characters set out for different missions in Season 2, they seem to have a falling out and do not communicate in the sophomore season.
This is a detail the show changed because in the books, Juliette maintains her relationship with Lukas, and even her main aim to go in Silo 18 is to save him.
In addition, in Silo Season 2, Bernard gets to know Lukas' relationship with Juliette, which makes him choose Meadows as his shadow initially. This is changed from the books where Bernard does not learn about Lukas' relationship with Juliette, he is also his first choice to shadow him.
2) Silo Season 2 introduced new characters that are not in the books
Season 2 introduced some new characters in the show, like Salvador Quinn, who is not mentioned once in the books. Silo Season 2 mentions his name many times, and it is revealed that he was Silo's mayor during the last rebellion, who lost faith in the system and expressed his anger in a cryptic letter.
These are the letters that Bernard instructs Lukas to decode, which are the sole creation of the show.
In addition, Judge Meadows is also not a character in the books. The books barely mention the Judiciary, but she is an important character in the show. Juliette learns that it is IT who is responsible for everything, and Meadows is also a pawn. It is also hinted that she has a romantic relationship with Bernard.
3) Bernard's death is changed in Silo Season 2
The final moments of Silo Season 2 showed Bernard and Juliette getting trapped inside the airlock and burning to flames. In the show, Bernard wants to experience some moments of freedom, so he goes outside but accidentally gets caught inside the airlock.
This is changed from the books, where Bernard decides to take his own life by burning in the airlock. At the end of Wool, Juliette comes into the airlock thinking it is Lukas who is sitting on a chair, and she wraps a heat blanket around him, but it is actually Bernard who has learned the truth about the Safeguard and the silos. He dies by burning while Juliette sustains some burn marks.
4) A change in timeline in Silo Season 2
While it is not established evidently, it can be inferred that the show's present timeline is set ahead of what was shown in Howey's Wool. When Judge Meadows is about to die, Bernard shows her the outside world of the past through a VR experience, and he mentions 2018.
This means that the world was fine before 2018. Since he also mentions that silos were created 352 years before the present, the present timeline should be somewhere around 2375.
But in the books, the silos are created in 2050, and the present timeline is set in 2345, which is 25-30 years before the show.
5) There are no digital resources in the books
In Silo Season 2, Bernard gives Lukas access to Silo 18's vault, which contains many books and resources for him to crack Quinn's cryptic letter. He also mentions that the Legacy also has a digital library, which is not a part of Wool.
There were only physical books mentioned in the source material, but this detail actually enhances Season 2 because, in a future world, digital resources would make more sense.
