When it comes to streaming sci-fi, there aren't many more valuable subscriptions than Apple TV. Some of the very best sci-fi shows of the last decade are available exclusively on the streamer, including the epic Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, the underrated sci-fi comedy The Big Door Prize, the many twists and turns of Dark Matter, the decades-spanning For All Mankind, and, of course, the mind-boggling labyrinthine mystery of Severance. But of all these shows, few have a better reputation than Silo, Apple TV's genius sci-fi hit based on Hugh Howey’s New York Times bestselling trilogy (Wool, Shift, and Dust).
After two near-perfect seasons, the Emmy Award-winning Graham Yost series returns on July 3, as one of the most hotly anticipated returning shows of this summer across all streaming platforms. Rebecca Ferguson returns as Juliette Nichols, following a particularly busy year for the acclaimed actress, which includes the AI-based sci-fi thriller, Mercy, alongside Cillian Murphy in Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, and as the villainous Dame Snap in the fantasy adaptation The Magic Faraway Tree.
Ahead of Ferguson's Dune: Part Three, the final installment in Denis Villeneuve's acclaimed adaptation of Frank Herbert's Dune novels that arrives on December 18, the embargo has finally been lifted for Silo's third season, and the response has so far been perfect. On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, Silo Season 3 has earned a perfect 100% score, at the time of writing. This improves on the second season's 92% score and the first season's 88%. ScreenRant wrote that "Apple TV dystopian sci-fi series starts an exciting new era," with CBR writing, "At this rate, Silo is heading for a stellar ending that will be hard to beat, and perhaps then, people will finally recognize the spellbinding allure of Silo."
Your answers point to the iconic sci-fi hero who shares your instincts, your values, and your particular way of facing the impossible.
You carry a weight most people would crumble under — the knowledge of what you're capable of, and the burden of what you might have to become.
You lead with instinct, warmth, and an absolute refusal to accept a no-win scenario — because you've always believed there's a third option nobody else has thought of yet.
You are the kind of person who holds the line when everyone else is losing faith — not because you're fearless, but because giving up simply isn't something you're capable of.
You are not reckless, not grandiose, and not particularly interested in being anyone's hero — you just refuse to stop when it matters.
You have been through fire that would break most people — and what came out the other side is something the world underestimates at its peril.
In her review of Season 3 for Collider, Tania Hussain similarly gushed over its quality, praising "emotionally rich storytelling," "nuanced performances," and intimate character-driven focus." "Three seasons in, Silo somehow still finds new ways to surprise," Hussain wrote, adding, "Silo proves once again why it’s not only Apple TV’s best shows, but also one of the best shows currently on television. Thoughtful, gripping, and beautifully made, it sets a new standard for what prestige sci-fi can be." A fourth season of Silo has already been announced.
Silo Season 3 has earned a perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes and will premiere on Apple TV on July 3.
