Apple TV+ renewed Silo even before the end of its first season and now there are more updates on the second season with the confirmed news that it will premiere on November 15, 2024.
Silo is based on the novels by Hugh Howey and follows thousands of people who live in a huge silo that acts as an underground bunker. The silo is governed by strict rules and residents are forbidden from exploring the outside world as they are made to believe that threats are lurking outside.
Throughout season 1, Silo showed that not everything was what it seemed inside the bunker. With an explosive finale, season 2 is now likely to explore the aftermath of what happened in season 1.
Does Silo Season 2 have a release date?
As per Apple’s confirmation, the second season of Silo will be premiering on November 15, 2024. Unlike Apple's general format, Silo Season 2 will only premiere with a single episode.
The rest of the episodes will come out following a weekly schedule. Season 2 of Silo consists of 10 episodes.
What is the plot of Silo Season 2?
The Silo series of books that the Apple show is based on consists of a lot of short stories, novels, and novellas, which are roughly divided into three books.
While it's been almost a decade since the last book from Howey, a new book is on its way and it may connect to Silo Season 2.
The first season of Silo was based on Howey’s book trilogy Wool as part of the Silo story franchise. Since the first season ended where the book does, season 2 will probably follow the novel’s ending.
However, Silo has often featured changes from its source materials, and therefore, the same can happen for season 2. Though there is a possibility of the second season following the book Shift, the prequel, it is also possible that this season will include flashbacks within the present narration.
The main storyline is likely to focus on the cliffhanger that season 1 ended with when Juliette stepped outside the Silo but did not die.
Season 2 could deal with questions like what is life like outside the silo and how much does the judiciary know about the outside world.
Who are on the Silo Season 2 cast?
Apple has released a press release regarding the confirmed returning cast members for season 2. The list includes:
