Silo has been renewed for season 2 at Apple TV+, Variety reported. The Rebecca Ferguson-led series debuted on the streaming service on May 5. It became a nearly instant hit for the streamer, delivering its renewal before episode eight, which arrives on June 16. The series is based on Hugh Howey’s Wool trilogy of novels. With that source material and the success of the adaption, it was not a surprise to see that Silo was renewed for season 2. The books started as an online, self-published story, then found an audience that led to the publishing of the novels: Wool, Shift, and Dust.
The show became such a hit it landed as the biggest drama series, according to Nielsen (via Deadline). Between the adaption of the Howey novel, Ted Lasso season 3, The Last Thing He Told Me, and Shrinking, Apple TV+ viewership went up 147% this year.

Silo season 2 will continue the storyline of people living in an underground bunker. This society is in place due to a threat of a ruined surface that has been plagued with toxins. This story was adapted by Graham Yost (Justified), who served as a writer and an executive producer.
Ferguson is joined by supporting co-stars Tim Robbins (Castle Rock), Common (John Wick 2), Avi Nash (The Walking Dead), Harriet Walter (Succession), Iain Glen (Game of Thrones), and David Oyelowo (Salem). Ferguson also served as an executive producer.
The leading star and the creator of the show executive produce with Cassie Pappas, Fred Golan, Ingrid Escajeda, Remi Aubuchon, Howey, Nina Jack, and Morten Tyldum. Producers included Aric Avelino, Ben Brafman, Jessica Hodges, Joanna Thapa, Jon Midlane, Matthew Bird, Jessica Blaire, and Daniel Rauchwerger.
Due to the WGA strike, there is no timeline on when we will see Silo season 2. For now, you can catch up on Apple TV+. The first season will run for ten episodes, with its season finale arriving on June 30.
