Silo showrunner discusses the storyline
Silo on Apple TV+ impressed viewers in its debut season by mixing mystery and drama in a sci-fi world. Producer Graham Yost hinted at “really, really scary” revelations in Season 2.
Rebecca Ferguson’s portrayal of Juliette, who left her silo and sparked a potential rebellion, adds suspense. Her discoveries outside the silo may reveal the consequences of such actions.
Yost told Entertainment Weekly that “there’s the beginnings of a call for rebellion because Juliette went over the hill, so maybe it’s safe outside.” However, the fate of another silo showcases the risks of rebellion going wrong, setting the stage for a tense season.
He added, “One storyline follows Juliette in this other silo, and another returns to her home silo. Juliette is aware of the potential peril in her original silo and is trying to prevent disaster. Things are getting really, really scary.”
The show depicts the last 10,000 people on Earth living in a mile-deep silo, protected from a toxic environment. Juliette, an engineer, dives into the mystery surrounding her loved one’s death, uncovering a deeper secret.
In the first episode of Season 2, Juliette faces challenges as she escapes and tries to survive. Yost mentioned her struggles in the new silo, with limited air in her suit. Survival becomes crucial as resources dwindle.
Juliette’s exploration of an abandoned silo unveils new mysteries, hinting at unexpected encounters. Yost teased a twist at the end of the episode.
New developments in Season 2
Silo, based on a book series, has foundational material for Season 2 while diverging from the source. Future seasons may incorporate flashbacks rather than strictly following the prequel narrative.

Silo features a talented cast including Rashida Jones, David Oyelowo, Tim Robbins, Harriet Walter, Common, and more.
