Apple has another dark drama on its way to its streaming service. Today, the company showed the first trailer of Silo, a dystopian series based on the novels by Hugh Howey. It begins streaming on Apple TV Plus on May 5.
The show follows the story of the last 10,000 people left on Earth, who live in the depths of the titular silo to avoid the poisonous world above. However, the origin of the silo itself remains a mystery, and as the official description explains, “anyone who tries to find out faces fatal consequences.” The show stars Rebecca Ferguson, Common, Harriet Walter, Chinaza Uche, Avi Nash, David Oyelowo, Rashida Jones, and Tim Robbins.
Silo joins a growing list of dramas on Apple TV Plus that start with the letter S: now it’s part of a lineup that includes See, Breaking off, Server, Suspicionand Surface. The first season of 10 episodes of Silo will premiere in May with two episodes, followed by weekly releases every Friday.
