While no official release date has been set for Silo Season 2 as of yet, showrunner Graham Yost teases what viewers can expect from the new season of the Rebecca Ferguson-led dystopian drama.
The Apple TV+ sci-fi series, which is set in a dystopian future, centers on thousands of people living as a community in a massive silo with multiple regulations that they believe would protect them from the dangers outside. In order to survive, they all must abide by the rules. However, few individuals from the lowest levels of the Silo believe the threat is actually within the confines of the shady underground.
Silo is based on the trilogy of novels (Wool, Shift, and Dust) by Hugh Howey.
What to expect in Silo Season 2?
Now with the series having been renewed for Season 2 just last month, the showrunner shared in an interview with Entertainment Weekly that Season 2 gets “really, really scary.” Additionally, according to Yost, the second season will be adapting Wool slightly differently and that it will center on two separate storylines.
“There’s the beginnings of a call for rebellion, because Juliette went over the hill, so maybe it’s safe outside. And yet what we saw over in the other silo is what can happen if the rebellion goes wrong and all the people died, so that’s the basic tension of the season,” said Yost.
The showrunner added, “One is with Juliette in this other silo, and one is back in her home silo. Juliette knows [what] could happen to her silo, and is there any way she could get back to them to help them to stop that from happening? Stuff’s starting to get really, really scary.”
In addition to Yost’s exciting update about the second season of Silo, a newly shared look at Silo Season 2 has been unveiled. See the photo down below, courtesy of EW.
Silo also stars Rashida Jones, David Oyelowo, Tim Robbins, Harriet Walter, Common, Rick Gomez, Avi Nash, Chinaza Uche, and more.
The official synopsis reads: “In a ruined and toxic future, a community exists in a giant underground silo that plunges hundreds of stories deep. There, men and women live in a society full of regulations they believe are meant to protect them.”
