While the show has yet to finish its first run, Apple TV+ have confirmed a season 2 for Silo.
Based on the novels of Hugh Howney, the show’s launch broke records for Apple TV+. According to the Nielsen’s, it debuted as the No. 1 drama in the (albeit short) history of the streamer.
With a cast lead by Rebecca Ferguson, Silo presents a dystopian future where the remnants of humanity live underground. No one knows when or why the silo was built and any who try to find out face fatal consequences.
Silo‘s impressive ensemble cast includes Common, Harriet Walter, Chinaza Uche, Avi Nash, David Oyelowo, Rashida Jones and Tim Robbins.
Apple TV+’s Head of Programming Matt Cherniss said:
“It has been enormously fulfilling to see the engrossing, atmospheric and beautifully crafted sci-fi epic Silo quickly become Apple’s number one drama series. As audiences around the world have become gripped by the mysteries and conspiracies buried within this fascinating subterranean world, viewership only continues to climb, and we are so excited for more secrets of the silo to be revealed in season two.”
Showrunner Graham Yost added:
“We cannot wait for audiences around the world to immerse themselves in the epic world we have created to bring Hugh Howey’s novels to life. Apple has believed in our vision from day one and it’s an honor to have the opportunity to dig deeper into this story and peel back the layers to our characters in the Silo.”
AMC Studios produce Silo for Apple TV+.
Season 1 concludes on June 30th, 2023. We’ll keep you posted on season 2.
