Apple TV+ unveiled today a brand new trailer for “Silo,” the gripping, world-building Apple Original drama based on Hugh Howey’s New York Times bestselling trilogy of dystopian novels. It’s set to premiere globally on Friday, May 5.
The series tells “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.”
The new trailer below teases just how intense the search for truth might get for the protagonists amidst a post-apocalyptic setting. It also highlights an all-star cast at the center of this dystopian thriller.
Rebecca Ferguson (Dune, Doctor Sleep) leads the ensemble cast and also serves as executive producer. “Silo” is created by Emmy-nominated screenwriter Graham Yost (“Band of Brothers,” “Justified”), who also serves as showrunner. Academy Award-nominee Morten Tyldum (“Defending Jacob,” “The Imitation Game”) directs the first three episodes.
The series also stars Common (“The Chi”), Emmy nominee Harriet Walter (“Succession”), Chinaza Uche (“Dickinson”), Avi Nash (“The Walking Dead”), Critics Choice Award and NAACP winner David Oyelowo (Selma), Emmy-nominee Rashida Jones (“Parks and Recreation”) and Academy Award winner Tim Robbins (Mystic River).
“Silo” is based on the Silo series by Howey, which began with the 2011 short story “Wool.” The short story expanded to a series that includes Shift, Dust, three short stories, and Wool: The Graphic Novel.
The 10-episode series will premiere globally on Apple TV+ on Friday, May 5, 2023 with the first two episodes, followed by one new episode weekly, every Friday through June 30, 2023.
