The Rebecca Ferguson-led science fiction series, Silo, has been a massive hit for Apple TV+. The show has so far produced two seasons, and according to Ferguson, could run for two more.

Speaking with Collider about Silo, Ferguson revealed that the current plan is for Silo to conclude after its fourth season, which has yet to receive an official greenlight from Apple TV+. "I believe that the show has an ending, and I know when that is. So that's the answer. You will find out when the show is done. To be honest, I don't think it's a secret. The books are the books. It's three books, and the three books are divided into four seasons," she explained. "So I believe, unless any Apple person is gonna jump on, I think we're absolutely fine with saying Season 1, we've done. Season 2 is shot and coming out, and we're now looking at green-lighting Seasons 3 and 4. And I think we would film them maybe together, and that would be the end."

What Is Silo About?

Created by Graham Yost, Silo is a sci-fi drama television series based on author Hugh Howey's trilogy of novels — Wool, Shift, and Dust. The series is set in a dystopian future where a community exists in a giant underground silo comprising 144 levels, following Juliette Nichols (Ferguson), an engineer who becomes embroiled in the mysteries of its past and present. Rashida Jones, David Oyelowo, Common, Tim Robbins, Harriet Walter, Avi Nash, Rick Gomez, and Chinaza Uche round out the main cast.

The first season of Silo consisted of 10 episodes, which were released weekly on Apple TV+ from May 5, 2023, to June 30, 2023. The first season received positive reviews from critics, who praised the world-building, production design, and Ferguson's performance. A second season was ordered, and began filming, in June 2023. After suspending production due to the SAG-AFTRA strike, filming resumed that December and wrapped in March 2024.
