Rebecca Ferguson, the star of the Apple TV+ show Silo, has addressed the potential for the series to continue beyond its second season. Silo, based on Hugh Howey's novels, envisions a dark dystopian future where humans are confined in an underground facility to protect them from an unknown disaster. Ferguson plays the lead role of Juliette "Jules" Nichols, who uncovers a series of clues that reveal the terrifying truth about life in the Silo.
With Silo season 1 concluding with a mind-bending finale and season 2 currently in production, Ferguson remains tight-lipped about the number of seasons being discussed with creator Graham Yost and Apple. However, she is eager to tease what viewers can expect from the upcoming second season. Read her comments below. (via Collider)
No, I'm a businesswoman. I approach situations with a clear and rational mindset. I enter into contracts and negotiate deals. I won't disclose the specifics of those deals. [Laughs] I have a distinct understanding of my objectives. Additionally, my exceptional team at Apple will also contribute their insights and preferences to determine our course of action. We all have each other's backs. We evaluate what strategies will be effective for the future. Given my experience and accomplishments, I don't approach things with a "let's see what happens" mentality, you know? I've already blocked off November for another filming project. I'm always thinking two or three years ahead. ... You might say that I'm just suggesting the idea of having multiple seasons in the future! However, as of now, sir, the show is absolutely fantastic and we have already given the green light for a second season. Apple is extremely satisfied, and I am even more delighted. That's where I will conclude.
Silo Season 1’s Finale Set Up Potential Multiple Seasons – With Or Without Ferguson
The enigmatic Silo season 1 captivated viewers with its captivating storyline, with Jules, played by Ferguson, portraying a tough and resourceful character who took center stage. As the momentous season 1 finale unfolded, it became clear that the mystery was only beginning and had the potential to extend beyond a single season. The reveal was so monumental and introduced such a vast and unexplored world that the possibility of multiple seasons is now in contention.
Ferguson's practical and business-oriented approach to her career means that it's not surprising to see her keeping the future of Silo under wraps. However, given the show's success on Apple TV+, it would be shocking if discussions weren't taking place regarding Silo season 3 and beyond. It's uncertain whether Ferguson will continue with Silo for multiple seasons, as the world of the show is expansive enough to introduce a new main protagonist. Silo has established the possibility of passing on the protagonist role, following the quick demise of its previous leads. While Silo may have a promising future on Apple TV+, there's no guarantee that Ferguson will maintain her on-screen role beyond season 2.
