Silo: “It will take more than a year to make season 3”

Creator Graham Yost explains how he envisions the end of the series, now ordered.

We plunged back into the depths of Silo for a few weeks. And while season 2 has just passed the halfway point, Apple TV+ announces that it has ordered the sequel and the ending, which will be available in season 3… and season 4! Yes, Silo will span four seasons, and not three seasons to adapt the three novels of Hugh Howey. That Rebecca Ferguson had started dropping in the press this summer:

“We started talking about it among ourselves… and then Rebecca Ferguson did an interview and she started telling everyone about it (laughs)” confided this fall the creator of the series, Graham Yostto Première before specifying that he did not want the series to drag on over time. Because Silo is a heavy and long production:

“There is a plan, which we would like to execute within a reasonable time frame. So that it doesn't take years. Because it's not a series that we can release every year in November. There There are a lot of special effects that we have to do (in post-production) We start working on them during the filming, it saves time, but it still takes months afterward. So it will take more than a year to complete! do season 3, for sure!”

Without coming forward to give a broadcast date for the rest of the series, the showrunner then admits to us having a fairly precise vision of the way in which Silo will adapt the last two books, in the last two seasons:

“I can't really answer your question.” he tried to dodge at first. “Let's just say we'll answer all the questions. We're not going to leave people in suspense for years, promising new seasons and new revelations again and again. I want us to be respectful of books. When Peter Jackson made The Lord of the Rings, he adapted all three volumes into three films. Not five or six films. We are in this philosophy.”
