The season two finale for Silo dropped today, and Apple TV+ is already giving us tidbits about what we’ll see in the already-greenlight third season of the show.
According to Deadline, Jessica Henwick (pictured above at Comic-Con, whose previous credits include Iron Fist, The Matrix Resurrections, and Glass Onion) and Ashley Zukerman (Succession, Fear Street) have joined the cast. Henwick will be playing a character named Helen, who is described as “a smart-whip reporter,” while Zukerman will be a “young and hungry congressman” named Daniel.
The two join the existing cast of the show based on the book series by Hugh Howey, where ten thousand people, presumably the last of humanity, live in an underground silo after the surface of Earth became uninhabitable some hundreds of years ago. Based on the job descriptions of Henwick’s and Zukerman’s characters, odds are good that they play people from the time before the Earth’s surface suffered that fate.
The series stars Rebecca Ferguson as Juliette, and season two’s ensemble cast includes Tim Robbins, Steve Zahn, Common, Iain Glen, Harriet Walker, Chinaza Uche, Remmie Milner, and Tanya Moodie. Graham Yost has helmed the television adaptation as showrunner for the first two seasons and is on board for the already-approved third and fourth seasons, which will wrap up the story.
The first two seasons of Silo are now streaming on Apple TV+. M[end-note]
