Apple TV's dystopian sci-fi television series Silo is back with Season 2. The show is based on Hugh Howey's trilogy of books.
The story follows a dystopian time where the last of humanity is living in massive Silos built to 'protect' them from the supposedly toxic and uninhabitable Earth. While the people inside these structures follow a strict hierarchy, there is much secrecy among the order within.

Actress Rebecca Ferguson plays the titular role of Juliette Nichols, an engineer who works on the lowest level. After she is involved in a web of mysteries, including the murder of her partner, she starts to question the reality of the structures they are trapped within.
Season 1 ends with Juliette stepping outside of her silo after a harrowing escape. The season ends on a cliffhanger where the true nature of silos or whether the outside world is actually 'toxic' is not revealed.
More about the Season 2 premiere in our story.
What is the release date of Silo Season 2 Episodes 1 & 2?
After the success of Season 1, the show was announced for a second season in June 2023. Primary shooting for Silo Season 2 took place at Hoddesdon Studios in Hertfordshire, which began in August 2023.
Graham Yost continues as series showrunner, and Morten Tyldum, who will also return as Executive Producer, directed the first three episodes.
The first ever Silo Panel, led by Rebecca Ferguson, Common, Graham Yost, and author Hugh Howey was interviewed at San Diego Comic-Con. The cast and crew confirmed the Season 2 release date there.
Silo Season 2 will release its first episode on Apple TV+ on Friday, 15th November 2024. While releases on Apple TV+ tend to vary in time, the episodes are expected to drop at 12:00 a.m. (PT) / 3:00 a.m. (ET).
Like most Apple TV shows, the series will also have a weekly release schedule. New episodes will be released every Friday. Episode 2 will be available on November 22, 2024.
What is the plot for Silo Season 2? Which cast members are back for a second season?
The show's major cast will revive their respective roles in Season 2, except Rashida Jones's Allison Becker and David Oyelowo's Sheriff Holston, considering their fate in Season 1.
Rebecca Ferguson, Common, Tim Robbins, Dame Harriet Walter, Chinaza Uche, Avi Nash, and Rick Gomez will return along with the supporting cast for Season 2. The White Lotus actor Steve Zahn will join the cast and play an important character, Solo.
While the showrunners have not revealed much plot details of Season 2, it 'will begin with a rebellion gone wrong'. The season will pick right after the cliffhanger of Season 1. According to Yost for Entertainment Weekly,
"...she's (Juliette) looking for safety 'cause her suit is running out of air...The wondrous tape that Walker [Harriet Walter] arranged for her to have her suit wrapped in, that's going to fail. A lot of the episode is about Juliette just trying to survive and the engineering stuff she has to do to try to stay alive."
While the show's details are slim, viewers can expect to travel back in time if the series follows the story of Howey's second book. The book follows the origins of the Silos by focusing on young congressman Donald Keene, who is ordered by Senator Thurman to build massive Silos.
Season 2 will conclude on January 17, 2025, following a run of 10 episodes.
