Silo show runner drops an honest detail about Bernard’s future in the series 

Silo season two recently came to an end on Apple TV+. Towards the finale of Silo season two, Bernard tragically met his end in a twisting set of events. As the climax of the Apple TV+ show revealed, Bernard tried to go out into the open, outside the confines of the vault. However, in contrast to the protective suit worn by Juliette, Bernard was relatively exposed to the elements.

He couldn't go out all the way before being halted by Juliette. It was just at this moment that the airlock decontamination system of Silo 18 exploded, engulfing everyone around in ravishing flames. Although the show leaves Bernard's death ambiguous, it might be surmised that he perished in the ensuing fire.

In a recent interview with The Wrap, Silo showrunner and executive producer Graham Yost commented:

"I will say that in that final confrontation between them, every word is important. There are certain key words that you’ll see come back big in season 3. I will also say to those who have read the books, Bernard dies at the end of the book, he’s gone. So I would just say that. No one is safe in this show, as we showed in season 1."

Here's everything that we know.

What does Bernard's death mean for the future of Silo?

Throughout the second season of the Apple TV+ show, Bernard assumed the role of the chief antagonist, driving the forces at his disposal against Juliette. Bernard was at the center of the power within the confines of Silo 18 and did everything at his disposal to ensure that the subjects in the vault remained subservient to the powers that be. The death of Judge Meadows was a testament to this fact.

Nevertheless, it might said that Bernard Holland was never quite the same following the death of Judge Meadows. Despite being at the epicenter of authority, he was reeling under the burden that comes from the exercise of power. Following his death, it is fair to say that the show would be tossed in a power struggle between his underlinings and those who have a claim to the seat of power.

Graham Yost opens up about Silo season 2

In a recent interview with The Wrap, showrunner and executive producer Graham Yost spoke at length about the second season and the ending of the Apple TV+ show. Speaking about the ending of the second season, Yost commented:

"A lot of it is just instinctual and also just trial and error. Breaking Season 2 was difficult. We didn’t know how far Season 2 was going to go. We thought maybe we would have Juliette over in Silo 17 for two seasons, and then we said, “No, we can’t sustain that. We don’t need to sustain that. Let’s move it along.” Then it was sort of like, then what’s Season 3 and what’s Season 4? I won’t get into all of that, but we are going to get into some origin story stuff in Season 3, you’ve now met Daniel and Helen, played by Ashley Zuckerman and Jessica Henwick."

In answer to the idea of adapting Hugh Howey's original literature, he remarked:

"In Hugh’s books, the second book, Juliette only appears on the last page. Originally, Jamie Erlicht and I thought the series would run five years, and that Book 1 would be two seasons, Book 2 would be one season, and Book 3 would be two seasons. And I called him and I said, “We’ve got Rebecca Ferguson, we can’t do a season of television when she’s (only) in the last scene. We’ve got to come up with something different.” That’s when we decided on four seasons. And that was our plan really from the beginning."

Silo season two is exclusively available on Apple TV+.
