‘Silo’ will end with season four: “We can’t wait to give fans an incredibly satisfying conclusion”
The second season is currently airing on Apple TV+
by Adam England · NMEApple TV+ has renewed Silo for two more seasons, with the dystopian sci-fi drama set to end with its fourth season.
Silo, based on a trilogy of novels by Hugh Howey, is partway through its second season – it began on November 15, a year and a half after the first season began in May 2023. Another two seasons are expected to be enough to allow the show to tell the whole story.
Showrunner and executive producer Graham Yost said in a statement: “It has been a richly rewarding experience to adapt Hugh’s epic novels with our partners at Apple and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to bring this complete story to the screen over the course of four seasons.
“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 contained within the walls of these silos.”
Apple CEO Tim Cook wrote on X (Twitter): “Excited to share that Silo will return for a third AND fourth season! We’re thrilled to support the imagination and inspiration out of the UK as they continue to create world-class films and series.”
Executive producer Rebecca Ferguson, who also plays engineer Juliette Nichols in the series, said: “I’ve loved every minute of bringing Juliette to the screen and am immensely proud of what we’ve all created with Silo since the first episode.

“I have always felt passionately about telling the entire story contained within Hugh Howey’s books, so I couldn’t be happier that audiences around the world have enthusiastically embraced the show. Alongside our partners at Apple, Graham, and the entire cast and crew, I cannot wait to dive into these final two thought-provoking seasons that will beautifully conclude this dystopian tale.”
Alongside Ferguson in season 2 of Silo are the likes of Tim Robbins, Common, Steve Zahn, Harriet Walter, Chinaza Uche, Avi Nash, Alexandria Riley and Shane McRae.
In a four-star review of the second season, NME described Silo as a “worthy successor” to the ’00s adventure drama Lost and added: “Silo season two doesn’t attempt anything too outlandish, fully aware that its enigma is what keeps us coming back. The mix of paranoia and politics makes for intriguing seasoning over a sci-fi show that plays into our fears of the post-apocalyptic wilderness.
“And with Ferguson again in resolute form, building on her stellar work in the first season, Silo is a tantalising prospect, simply begging you to wrestle with its mysteries. It’s more than worth it.”
