Apple TV+ Orders Wool Series Starring Rebecca Ferguson

Apple TV+ has given a series order for Wool, a drama series based on Hugh Howey’s New York Times best-selling trilogy that will star Rebecca Ferguson.

Set in a ruined and toxic future where a community exists in a giant silo underground that’s hundreds of stories deep, Wool sees men and women living in a society full of regulations they believe are meant to protect them. Ferguson will star as an independent and hardworking engineer named Juliette.

Wool will be written by screenwriter Graham Yost (Band of Brothers, Justified) and directed by Morten Tyldum (Defending Jacob, The Imitation Game). The series is executive produced by Ferguson, Yost and Tyldum, alongside Howey. Remi Aubuchon, Nina Jack and Ingrid Escajeda will also serve as executive producers on the drama, produced by AMC Studios.
