Silo season 2: Release date speculation, cast, and latest news

The series has been shooting in the UK but stars US actors including Tim Robbins and Rashida Jones.

It was announced last month that Silo had been renewed for season 2, with Ferguson returning to lead the cast once again as engineer-turned-sheriff, Juliette Nichols.

"Apple has believed in our vision from day one and it’s an honour to have the opportunity to dig deeper into this story and peel back the layers to our characters in the Silo," Graham Yost, Silo screenwriter and showrunner, said in a statement.

The season 1 finale unravelled secrets that left us with more shocking questions about what happened to humanity, and where Juliette and co will go next.

So, when will they be answered in the second run? Read on for everything you need to know about Silo season 2.

Silo season 2 release date speculation

Silo season 2 is expected to be released in 2024, but no release date has been officially confirmed. Considering the series has been impacted by the strikes, that date also could be pushed back.

The second season was confirmed in June 2023 and also began filming at Hoddesdon Studios in Hertfordshire that same month, suggesting the series will be moving swiftly with its production.

Graham Yost continues to serve as showrunner, while executive producer Morten Tyldum will return to direct the first three episodes.

Rebecca Ferguson is also once again among the large roster of executive producers.

Who will star in Silo season 2?

We fully expect the following cast members from Silo to return for the second season.

Rebecca Ferguson as Juliette "Jules" Nichols
Common as Robert Sims
Dame Harriet Walter as Martha Walker
Chinaza Uche as Paul Billings
Avi Nash as Lukas Kyle
Rick Gomez as Patrick Kennedy
Tim Robbins as Bernard

Rebecca Ferguson will most certainly return as series protagonist Jules, particularly after that epic cliffhanger.

Meanwhile, we can expect the other major players who were still alive in the Silo to return for the next run.

Additionally, there are other supporting characters that we could see back, including Sophie Thompson as Gloria Hildebrandt, Shane McRae as Knox, Remmie Milner as Shirley, Billy Postlethwaite as Sheriff Hank, Chipo Chung as Sandy, Matt Gomez Hidaka as Cooper, Will Merrick as Danny, and Game of Thrones star Iain Glen as Jules' father, Dr Pete Nichols.

Is there a trailer for Silo season 2?

At present there is no trailer for the second season of Silo.

However, you can watch the trailer for the first run below.

What will be the plot of Silo season 2?

The series will continue on from that epic cliffhanger from the season 1 finale that saw Juliette discover that the world outside was indeed toxic but that there were numerous other silos.

The show will continue to explore what this means for Jules and the rest of the cast, whilst also updating us on life in the series' initial setting.

The story will also be adapted from Hugh Howey's Wool trilogy of books which will answer questions about the nature of the silos and how the world ended up in the state it is in.

We also predict to see the romantic relationship between Jules and IT hand Lukas explore and grow in future episodes, but we doubt it will be smooth sailing.

Speaking to RadioTimes.com about what future seasons of the series will hold, author Hugh Howey explained: "What I love about this series, the book series, and what we would do with the TV show if we get an opportunity, is it doesn't tell the same story over and over again. There's not a lot of repetition.

"The story gets bigger over time and you try to maintain the DNA in the heart of what makes the series fantastic, but there's new characters to introduce, and again, every time you think the mystery is solved, it just gets more intriguing.

"That's been the thrill of this show and the thrill of the books, and we have to get a chance to keep doing it."
