After the silo’s sheriff breaks one of those rules and residents die mysteriously, engineer Juliette investigates the cause and starts to uncover shocking secrets. What she finds reveals the truth about the silo.
Under a story of environmental collapse is a twisted, dangerous journey to find truth in an underground world built on lies.
If the lies don’t kill you, the truth will.
Silo Cast & Details
The show is based on Hugh Howey’s best-selling sci-fi series, which includes Wool, Shift, and Dust. It was initially developed as a feature film with Ridley Scott a decade back, but it didn’t pan out after Disney bought Fox. It’s finally making it to the screen as a 10-episode series. It’s better for the story than compressing it into two-ish hours. Graham Yost (Justified) is showrunner and wrote the adaptation.
The cast includes Rebecca Ferguson, David Oyelowo, Rashida Jones, Common, Harriet Walter, Chinaza Uche, and Tim Robbins.
“Silo is the story of the last ten thousand people on Earth. Their mile-deep home protects them from the toxic and deadly world outside. However, no one knows when or why the silo was built. Any who try to find out face fatal consequences. Ferguson stars as Juliette, an engineer who seeks answers about a loved one’s murder. She tumbles onto a mystery that goes far deeper than she could have ever imagined, leading her to discover that if the lies don’t kill you, the truth will.”
The first two episodes of Silo debut on May 5th on AppleTv+.
