“Silo” May Film Seasons 3 & 4 Together?

Apple TV+

Following much critical acclaim and strong numbers, it was understandable that Apple TV+ renewed its Rebecca Ferguson-led big-budget sci-fi drama series “Silo” even before its first season had finished its run.

The series is set in a post-apocalyptic world where humanity survives in a giant underground silo, tackling the mysteries and political intrigue threatening their existence, Ferguson plays an engineer who ends up being put in charge of the sheriff’s department.

According to Nielsen, the series debuted as the #1 drama in the history of the Apple TV+ service thus far and saw double-digit growth across episodes.

Once the second season was greenlit, production was able to get underway right away – at least until the strikes grounded everything. Once over, filming resumed with the show’s second season wrapping its shoot last month ahead of an expected 2025 airing.

As the series is based on Hugh Howey’s bestselling “Wool” dystopian novel trilogy, and expands the story beyond the book’s scope, the plan from the start has been to adapt the material across four televised seasons.

With one aired and one in the can, Ferguson tells Collider that there’s ambitious plans for the show’s future – indicating that those final two seasons might film concurrently:

“I believe that the show has an ending, and I know when that is. So that’s the answer. You will find out when the show is done. To be honest, I don’t think it’s a secret. The books are the books. It’s three books, and the three books are divided into four seasons.

So I believe, unless any Apple person is gonna jump on, I think we’re absolutely fine with saying Season 1, we’ve done. Season 2 is shot and coming out, and we’re now looking at green-lighting Seasons 3 and 4. And I think we would film them maybe together, and that would be the end.”

The reason for the concurrent shoot makes sense as there’s multiple cost and logistic advantages to such a shoot, along with shrinking the gap between seasons, and comfort for the audience knowing that the story will be told in full.

Such a shoot can be strenuous on the actors and filmmakers who have to keep track of where things are. However the cast and crew of the show are used to it as the second season had a similar approach with Ferguson revealing she would “film with three different directors, three different episodes” across one day.
