The show is based on Hugh Howey’s trio of novels – Wool, Shift and Dust – and is set in a future where civilisation exists in a giant underground silo made up of 144 levels.
Rebecca Ferguson, an executive producer on the series, leads the cast as an engineer who becomes invested in the mysterious past of the silo, with Rashida Jones, David Oyelowo, Common and Tim Robbins co-starring.
Graham Yost, writer of Speed and Mission To Mars and the creator of Justified, is the showrunner on Silo, with the first season having aired on the streaming platform in the summer of 2023.
It returned on November 15 for its second run of 10 episodes, with the final instalment premiering on Friday (January 17).
In a four-star review of the second season, NME described Silo as a “worthy successor” to the ’00s adventure drama Lost and added: “Silo season two doesn’t attempt anything too outlandish, fully aware that its enigma is what keeps us coming back. The mix of paranoia and politics makes for intriguing seasoning over a sci-fi show that plays into our fears of the post-apocalyptic wilderness.
“And with Ferguson again in resolute form, building on her stellar work in the first season, Silo is a tantalising prospect, simply begging you to wrestle with its mysteries. It’s more than worth it.”
Will there be a Silo season 3?
The good news for Silo fans is that the show has been recommissioned not just a third season, but a fourth as well.
In December, Apple TV+ announced that the show would end with season four, with Yost saying: “It has been a richly rewarding experience to adapt Hugh’s epic novels with our partners at Apple and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to bring this complete story to the screen over the course of four seasons.
“With the final two chapters of Silo, we can’t wait to give fans of the show an incredibly satisfying conclusion to the many mysteries and unanswered questions contained within the walls of these silos.”

No release date has been confirmed for season three, but after the 18-month wait for season two, fans might expect it to arrive at some stage in 2026.
