In ‘peak TV’ terms, waiting a year and a half for the next season of a great show is actually not that bad. And yet, when that show is Silo, a grand and glacial sci-fi show that occasionally deals out major mind-blowing twists and turns, a year and a half is a very long time. Which is why it’s such a relief that we now know when Season 3 will be with us. Yes, the wait is nearly over for the return of Rebecca Ferguson’s Juliette Nichols, unpicking the mysteries of why humanity is living in giant underground bunkers – with Season 3 set to begin streaming this July.
As confirmed by Apple TV today, Silo will return on July 3, kicking off the next chapter in the adaptation of Hugh Howey’s Wool novels. And since Season 2 ended with – SPOILER ALERT – a massive shift in the narrative, we can’t wait to see what comes next. Because this season looks set to partly follow Juliette, who has successfully returned to Silo 18 (though last thing we knew, she was in the incinerator with Tim Robbins’ Bernard), but we’ll also be following a flashback narrative, revealing exactly what happened in the mysterious ‘before times’ – as teed up by that shock Washington DC scene in the Season 2 finale. SPOILERS END.
Fans can heave a sigh of relief that Silo will get to play out its full story, which is confirmed to end with Season 4 – which shot concurrently with Season 3, meaning we might not even half to wait another 18 months to see how it all goes down. For now, get ready to learn many more secrets of the Silo this July.
