‘Silo’ Season 3 Already in Development at Apple TV+, Season 2 Yet to Premiere

The third season of the hit Apple TV+ sci-fi series Silo is already in active development as per a new listing in prod weekly. Although it is not very surprising as the series lead Rebecca Ferguson had already hinted the same a few days back, this still is unusual as the second season premiere date is months away from being announced.

Apple TV+ is yet to confirm the third season renewal officially, but Rebecca Ferguson had earlier expressed her desire for the third and the fourth season to be filmed back to back. Season 2 recently completed filming and is currently in post-production, which will be complete before the end of July 2024. Although we have predicted that Season 2 is likely to be released in 2025, there is a chance that it could be released before the end of this year, if Apple decides.

The listing in Prod Week doesn't have any filming dates, but if we go by the comments of Rebecca Ferguson, it should start as early as the end of this year. Although, I am not sure how much Apple TV+ would be in favor of the idea of filming Seasons 3 and 4 back-to-back. The first season premiered in May last year, while the second season started filming at the same time, even though it was renewed later. If the strikes hadn't delayed the production, the second season would have premiered in the first half of this year. But nothing to be disappointed about as another Sci-Fi series, Dark Matter will premiere in May on Apple TV+, and I am sure you are going to like it.

In the first season's finale, Juliette has Danny broadcast the outside footage to the entire Silo, but Bernard swiftly shuts it down. Later, Juliette steps outdoors, and her helmet's display shows the same video footage of a gorgeous landscape as the previous day. She recognizes the illusion and discovers that the reality is the dismal vista on  Silo's displays. Because Walker has made sure that the heat tape on Juliette's suit is of high quality, instead of dying there, Juliette can walk out of the crater that surrounds the  Silo, out of sight of its inhabitants. The crater is surrounded by dozens of identical craters, each with a structure akin to a Silo entrance and a hazy ruined city in the background.

The regular cast of the series includes Rebecca Ferguson as Juliette Nichols, Rashida Jones as Allison Becker, David Oyelowo as Holston Becker, Common as Robert Sims, Tim Robbins as Bernard Holland, Harriet Walter as Martha Walker, Avi Nash as Lukas Kyle, Rick Gomez as Patrick Kennedy, and Chinaza Uche as Paul Billings.

"Silo" is the story of the last ten thousand people on Earth, who live in a mile-deep tunnel to protect themselves from the toxic and deadly world outside. However, no one knows when or why the  Silo was built, and anyone who tries to find out risks being killed. Rebecca Ferguson leads the series as Juliette, a hardworking engineer who seeks answers about the murder of a loved one stumbles upon a mystery that is far deeper than she could have ever imagined, leading her to discover that if lies don't kill you, the truth will. “Silo” is written by Graham Yost and directed by Morten Tyldum, both of them return for the second season.
