Silo has been renewed to the end – so how will the show budget the books?

But apparently the Apple TV Plus show won’t be nearly as slow: On Monday, Apple announced it was giving it the green light Silo for a third And fourth season, and would then end the show. “As we look toward seasons three and four of this ambitious, character-driven sci-fi series – which will conclude Juliette Nichols’ journey and complete Hugh Howey’s epic trilogy of novels,” said Matt Cherniss, head of programming for Apple TV Plus- programming, said in a statement. “We can’t wait for everyone to experience more of the show’s powerful performances led by the incomparable Rebecca Ferguson, as well as the unexpected twists and surprises we’ve come to expect from this deeply human story.”

So with promises in hand to finish the series: Is Silo do you have to move with a clip? It really all depends on how this second season goes.

(Ed. remark: This post contains mild spoilers for season 1 of Siloand plot setup from early season 2.)

If Season 2 ends where the first book did, expanding the rebellion in Juliette’s silo, as well as her own struggles to get out of Silo 17 with the help (or lack thereof) of Solo, it would certainly make sense as a finale spot. . That book gives Juliette and her team a clear place to prepare for what comes next, and it would be a logical place to leave an adaptation.

But considering that Silo a bit of a zigzag in season 1 in this regard, it’s possible that season 2 will pick up plots Shiftthe second book in the series, and starts to move forward a bit. It would be a bit unorthodox – I’ll leave it to you to figure out what the best cliffhanger to get from that book is – but on the other hand, it would have been worth it Silo season 1. With the revelation that Juliette was wrong not only about the outdoors, but also about some other silos she didn’t even know existed, Silo left her in the biggest lurch, even if this wasn’t the book’s natural break point. Season 2 could find a similar cliffhanger, with Juliette’s conclusion being bypassed (or even partially adapted). Wool find something juicier to leave the second season on.

At the very least, it seems important that in this announcement they emphasize “finishing” the series, and promise to deliver on the many unknowns. Silo‘s world. “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 that lie within the walls of these silos,” showrunner Graham Yost said in a statement . With a list of questions as long as the silo stairs, seasons 3 and 4 will hopefully come up with real answers.
