Apple extended the sci-fi show Silo for a second season before the first season was even over. Since then, even more exciting Silo season 2 news has come out. Silo is based on a set of books written by Hugh Howey, and Graham Yost (Justified) made the show.
In the future show, thousands of people live in a huge silo that serves as a bunker underground. The people who live in the silo are not allowed to go outside. In Silo, Rebecca Ferguson plays Juliette, an engineer who starts to look into what happens to people who try to leave the silo and how the people who live there are managed.
The first episode of Silo came out on Apple TV Plus on May 5, 2023, and the season 1 ending was added to the streaming service on June 30, 2023. Since its first season, Silo has gained a lot of fans and gotten good reviews from reviewers.
Trends on TV change all the time, and lately the focus has been on making shows that only last one season instead of long-running stories. The fact that Silo has been picked up for a second season shows how popular it is on Apple TV Plus and how much faith the streaming service has in the show. Here’s what we know about season 2 of Silo.
When Will Silo Season 2 Be Released?
Season 2 of Silo was supposed to come out in the middle or end of 2024, but the shooting has been put on hold because of the Actors Strike.
Apple TV Plus revealed that there would be a second season of the sci-fi show before the first season was even over. The first season ended on June 30, 2023. Season 2 started shooting in April 2023, so even though there will be a delay, things are well on their way. Depending on how much has already been shot, this could push the series back to early 2025.
Matt Cherniss, who is in charge of programming for Apple TV Plus, said in a statement that the show quickly became one of the most popular on the service, which is why it was renewed.
Cherniss said, “It has been incredibly satisfying to see the gripping, atmospheric, and beautifully made sci-fi epic Silo become Apple’s most popular drama series so quickly.”

“Audiences all over the world are drawn in by the mysteries and conspiracies hidden in this fascinating underground world. The number of viewers keeps going up, and we can’t wait for season 2 to show us more secrets of the silo.”
Who is in the Cast of Silo Season 2?
There isn’t an official cast list for Silo season 2, but it’s safe to say that Rebecca Furguson will be back as Juliette. Here is the list of expected cast members in season 2:
- Rebecca Ferguson as Juliette Nichols
- Common as Robert Sims
- Tim Robbins as Bernard Holland

What Will Happen in Silo Season 2?
We think that “Shift,” the second book in the Silo series, could be part of the storyline for season 2.
The second book in the series is a prequel, so it tells more about how the silo came to be and what happened to the rest of the world. Still, there are some big changes in the books, so the people who made the show may decide to go in a different direction for the second season.
We might see a mix of the silo timeline from season 1 and flashbacks from the prequel book.
In 2049, when Shift takes place, Donald Keene, a Democrat, has just been elected to Congress. It shows how the bunkers were built. At first, people thought they were built to store nuclear fuel, but it turns out they were built to house people when nuclear blasts happened. After that, the story gets into plot, nanoterrorism, and revolution.

We think that some of the second season will take place outside of the silo, with the people trying to go out into the world. If the extension adds to the world’s history and lore, they would also be setting up for a third season.
Is There any Trailer for Silo Season 2?
We don’t have a trailer for season 2 yet, but since it’s already being filmed, we should have one by the end of 2024.
