We have to go back! To the silo, I mean. (Not the island.) To be more specific, we have to go back to the beginning of Silo—to find out where it all began.
And by “it,” of course, I mean the network of underground silos that, to all appearances, hold what’s left of humanity after some kind of disaster befell the surface of the planet. This being Silo, though, it seems quite likely that history is not exactly as it has been told.
Silo is based on Hugh Howey’s novel series of the same name, and stars Rebecca Ferguson as an engineer who stumbles into a whole string of trouble when her boyfriend dies under dubious circumstances. In the second season, she survives being sent outside to “clean”—generally a death sentence—and finds other survivors in a second silo. Back at home, rebellion arises under the rule of extremely morally dubious Mayor Bernard Holland (Tim Robbins).
According to Apple TV, “Season three of Silo continues the saga of a dystopian society of 10,000 people living underground under mysterious circumstances, while revealing an origin story set centuries earlier.”
Their synopsis continues:
In the present, Juliette Nichols (Ferguson) survives her forced “cleaning” but returns with memory loss as the silo recovers from rebellion and faces a dangerous new threat. Meanwhile, in the “Before Times,” journalist Helen Drew (Jessica Henwick) and Congressman Daniel Keene (Ashley Zukerman) uncover a conspiracy that pulls them into a chain of events with catastrophic, irreversible consequences.
(There is something very funny about putting “Before Times” in quotes and giving the term Capital Letters. Just call it the before times! We all know what that means.)
Silo’s excellent cast also includes returning stars Common, Harriet Walter, Steve Zahn, Chinaza Uche, Avi Nash, Alexandria Riley, Shane McRae, Remmie Milner, Rick Gomez, Billy Postlethwaite, and Clare Perkins. Along with Henwick (Iron Fist) and Zukerman (Succession), the new kids on the Silo block include Laura Innes, Jessica Brown Findlay, Morven Christie, Reed Birney, Matt Craven, and Colin Hanks.
Silo has already been renewed for a fourth and final season, so we don’t have to worry about never getting answers. Whether they will satisfy remains to be seen. Silo’s third season premieres July 3 on Apple TV, where you can watch the first two seasons at your leisure.[end-mark]
