Apple Shares Official Trailer for 'Silo' Based on Hugh Howey Trilogy [Video]

Apple has shared the official trailer for "Silo," a world-building drama based Hugh Howey's bestselling trilogy of dystopian novels. The series was created by screenwriter Graham Yost, who also serves as showrunner, and stars an ensemble cast led by Rebecca Ferguson, who also serves as an executive producer.

"Silo" is the story of the last ten thousand people on earth, their mile-deep home protecting them from the toxic and deadly world outside. However, no one knows when or why the silo was built and any who try to find out face fatal consequences. Ferguson stars as Juliette, an engineer, who seeks answers about a loved one's murder and tumbles onto a mystery that goes far deeper than she could have ever imagined, leading her to discover that if the lies don't kill you, the truth will.

The ensemble cast starring alongside Ferguson includes Common ("The Chi"), Emmy nominee Harriet Walter ("Succession"), Chinaza Uche ("Dickinson"), Avi Nash ("The Walking Dead"), Critics Choice Award and NAACP winner David Oyelowo ("Selma"), Emmy nominee Rashida Jones ("Parks and Recreation") and Academy Award winner Tim Robbins ("Mystic River").


"Silo" is produced for Apple TV+ by AMC Studios and based on the novels by Hugh Howey. The series is executive produced by Yost, Howey and Ferguson, alongside Academy Award nominee Morten Tyldum ("Defending Jacob," "The Imitation Game") who also directs the first three episodes, Nina Jack, Fred Golan, Rémi Aubuchon and Ingrid Escajeda.

The 10-episode series will premiere globally on Apple TV+ on Friday, May 5, 2023 with the first two episodes, followed by one new episode weekly, every Friday through June 30, 2023.
