Airdate: Silo

New 10 part dystopian drama series Silo, based on Hugh Howey’s trilogy of novels, will premiere on Apple TV+ in May.

Silo is created by screenwriter Graham Yost (Band of Brothers, Justified), who also serves as showrunner and stars Rebecca Ferguson (Dune, Mission: Impossible).

The cast also includes Common (The Chi), Harriet Walter (Succession, The End), Chinaza Uche (Dickinson), Avi Nash (The Walking Dead), David Oyelowo (Selma), Rashida Jones (Parks and Recreation) and Tim Robbins (The Player, Mystic River).

Morten Tyldum (Defending Jacob, The Imitation Game) directs the first three episodes.

Silo is the story of the last ten thousand people on earth, their mile-deep home protecting them from the toxic and deadly world outside. However, no one knows when or why the silo was built and any who try to find out face fatal consequences. Ferguson stars as Juliette, an engineer, who seeks answers about a loved one’s murder and 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.

“Silo” is produced for Apple TV+ by AMC Studios and based on the novels by Hugh Howey. The series is executive produced by Yost, Howey, Tyldum, and Ferguson, alongside Nina Jack, Fred Golan, Rémi Aubuchon, and Ingrid Escajeda.

Two episodes Friday May 5 on Apple TV+ and continues weekly.
