Apple TV+ Sci-Fi Series 'Silo' Renewed for Third and Fourth Seasons

[MacRumors]

Apple today announced it has renewed the award-winning sci-fi series "Silo" for third and fourth seasons, allowing for the "complete story" to be told. The series is based on Hugh Howey's best-selling book series.

Apple confirmed that the fourth season will be the final season of the show.

"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," said showrunner and executive producer Graham Yost.

"Silo" is currently midway through its second season on Apple TV+, with new episodes releasing each Friday through January 17.

The series follows the last 10,000 people on Earth, all of whom live in a massive underground bunker to escape the seemingly toxic and deadly world outside. The people are unaware of why the silo was built, and those who seek the truth face deadly consequences. Rebecca Ferguson stars as Juliette Nichols, an engineer who attempts to unravel the mysteries surrounding the silo following a loved one's murder.

Apple TV+ costs $9.99 per month or $99 per year in the U.S., and the streaming service is also included in all Apple One subscription bundles.

Interesting enough but it’s painfully show and dark and I have yet to stay fully awake through an episode. That is usually the case with most Apple TV shows with few exceptions.

 

[breather]

Great news. Love the show!!

 

[TechWhisperer]

Second season is lackluster.

 

[neptuna]

Loved the first season, but struggling to get into the second. May be more of a "me" problem than the show, however. I think there's just too much content to consume these days and a show like this requires your focus; something that big tech has been attacking for years now. Hard to find the focus needed to watch and truly enjoy.

 

[Expos of 1969]

OK with me. I can always stop watching if I feel it no longer entertains me.

 

[contacos]

Happy to hear it gets a proper conclusion but can they pick up the plot already. Season 2 is sooooo slow and I can hardly see anything half the time! (Don't have a OLED TV). Had to watch the first episode like 3 times because I always fell asleep.

Everything that has happened so far in season 2 could have been edited down to a single episodes or even just a opening scene. I am watching it on 1,5x speed now.

Shame cuz I really enjoyed season 1 and the idea is really great. Just don't care for some of those side characters that have too much dialogue

I agree the second season is a letdown so far.

Agree. It's unlike other sci-fi shows in that it is built on suspense not a lot of CGI and silliness.

Second season is lackluster.

very much. even the first season seemed to get more into the BS politics than anything really silo related. Wish they would expand upon the ACTUAL story line instead of a few character spats.

This is deliberate. Got to keep you paying your subs.

Trying to track with the 2nd season, feels like an MMO with lots of fetch quests and side characters.

 

[Ctrlos]

At the very least it gives us confidence that they will see it through to the end.

Now if Apple could buy The Expanse from Amazon and make the final 3 seasons, that would be swell.

 

[star-affinity]

I think the show has good visuals and acting is pretty good overall (I'm at season 1 episode 9 now), but what I think it's lacking at times is believability and the sense of scale.

A few examples:

• It becomes ridiculous when doors can be opened so easily – one try with a crowbar and ”pop”, the door opens. Or when a door can be opened with the pin/needle from a badge. Some more creativity script wise here, please.

Spoiler: • Lack of sense of scale

So the mayor of the whole silo that supposedly inhibits 10 000 people dies, and there are like 20 people there for the funeral? Quiet speeches that only people very close to the person speaking could possibly hear. This breaks immersion I think and makes things feel a bit cheap and manufactured.

In general I think there should be more scenes that gives a better sense of the place being inhabited by quite a lot of people.

Spoiler: • Falling from high heights

Someone falls from a height that should cause serious injury and the person quite quickly gets up and runs off. Again, some more creativity script wise here, please.

 

[ELman]

I really like this show. Like many of these series it seems like many of the episodes drag on until the final episode of the season. Now that they have been renewed for two more seasons I hope this doesn't happen.

 

[akro]

already stretching the plot to eons, adding more seasons likely to compound the matter.....get on with the story

 

[gatorvet96]

I love it. Also my wife and I loved Disclaimer

 

[canadianreader]

I loved season 1 very much but season 2 is slow and uneventful.

I started the show with blind Aquaman like 3 or 4 times. I wonder if it's the same show runners?

 

[egyhenger]

Season 2 is a bit slow. Specially Juliette’s path. Nothing is happening there.

same here...to point where I may stop watching it.

 

[surferfb]

Guess I'm in the minority here - love both seasons and always looking forward to Fridays to see what happens next.

From what I understand, they're keeping pretty close to the plot of the books (haven't read them, but my MIL has and is watching the show too).

 

[Spock]

I like it a lot but it is very dark and sometimes hard to see what is going on. I do know that the calibration feature on the Apple TV helps.

 

[victorvictoria]

If something doesn't blow up, catch fire, flood or spill blood real soon, there won't be a third season or a fourth for me. I probably won't finish the second.

 

[lmddawson]

Second season has been great and love that the show won't overstay its welcome and has a plan in place. It's leading to some huge revelations, I can't wait
