Apple TV+ Renews Silo

The world-building drama Silo, based on Hugh Howey’s New York Times best-selling trilogy of dystopian novels, has been renewed for a second season by Apple TV+.

Created by Graham Yost, who also serves as showrunner, Silo is the story of the last 10,000 people on Earth, their mile-deep home protecting them from the toxic and deadly world outside. The eighth episode of Silo premieres this Friday on Apple TV+.

“It has been enormously fulfilling to see the engrossing, atmospheric and beautifully crafted sci-fi epic Silo quickly become Apple’s number one drama series,” said Matt Cherniss, head of programming for Apple TV+. “As audiences around the world have become gripped by the mysteries and conspiracies buried within this fascinating subterranean world, viewership only continues to climb, and we are so excited for more secrets of the silo to be revealed in season two.”

“We cannot wait for audiences around the world to immerse themselves in the epic world we have created to bring Hugh Howey’s novels to life,” said Yost. “Apple has believed in our vision from day one, and it’s an honor to have the opportunity to dig deeper into this story and peel back the layers to our characters in the Silo.”
