Following a Season 2 finale that left audiences reeling with a game-changing flashback, fans are looking forward to the next chapter in the sci-fi series. Based on the novels by Hugh Howey, there are already theories about how the show will adapt the source material. Perhaps the series will delve deeper into the backstory of the silos, exploring the origins of their creation and the motives behind the strict societal rules governing their inhabitants. Fans disapointed that we might see less of Rebecca Ferguson having nothing to fear as showrunner Graham Yost has confirmed the actor will be a “big part of Season 3”, according to an interview with TVLine.
Here’s everything to know about Silo Season 3.

What is Silo about?
Silo is a sci-fi drama set in a post-apocalyptic world where the remnants of humanity live in a massive underground silo, sealed off from the toxic wasteland outside. Governed by strict rules and riddled with secrets, the silo is a society built on control, where questioning the truth can have deadly consequences. The story follows Juliette Nichols (Ferguson), an engineer turned reluctant investigator, as she uncovers the lies and mysteries surrounding the silo’s origins, its leaders, and the world beyond its walls. Adapted from Hugh Howey’s Wool series, the show weaves a compelling narrative of survival, rebellion, and the search for freedom in a world designed to suppress it.
Has Silo been renewed?
Yes, the show was renewed for two final seasons. “It has been a richly rewarding experience to adapt Hugh’s epic novels with our partners at Apple and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to bring this complete story to the screen over the course of four seasons,” said showrunner and executive producer Graham Yost. “With the final two chapters of Silo, we can’t wait to give fans of the show an incredibly satisfying conclusion to the many mysteries and unanswered questions contained within the walls of these silos.”
What will happen in Season 3 of Silo?
In the final moments of Season 2, Silo hinted at what content it might explore in Season 3. The last scene of the series shows Congressman Donald Keene (Ashley Zukerman) on a date with Helen (Jessica Henwick). Both characters play a major role in the second book in the Silo series, Shift. This very likely means that Season 3 will adapt content from the book. However, the book features very little of Juliette and other inhabitants of the season. Yost has said that Rebecca Ferguson will be featured heavily, so it’s highly likely that the show will cover both the current story of the show while also adapting the content from Shift.
What books will Season 3 of Silo cover?
Given the final scene of Season 2, it’s expected that Season 3 will adapt storylines and characters from the second book in the series, Shift. In that novel, the focus drifts away from Silo 18 and into the past, as we get to see not only how the silos were created (and who created them), but also get to see the lives of individuals in the other silos prior to the events of the show. While Howey has said that there will be parts of Shift that will be adapted, the show is certain to take a few liberties from the source material.
When does Silo Season 3 come out?
There is not a release date set for Season 3 of Silo. Seasons 1 and Seasons 2 were released within 18 months of each other. If Season 3 was to premiere 18 months after the Season 2 finale, the show could release in mid-2026. Rebecca Ferguson has also said that she believes Seasons 3 and 4 will be filmed at the same time.
