The harrowing sci-fi series starring Rebecca Ferguson and Common returns July 3 with an origin story set centuries earlier, while continuing the bleak, dark story of the last 10,000 people on Earth, living in a mile-deep home that protects them from a toxic and deadly outside world, who never dare to question their existence or they’ll end up dead.
Apple TV has just dropped the official trailer for the 10-epsiode Season 3 of its harrowing sci-fi drama, Silo, which debuts July 3.

Based on Hugh Howey’s New York Times bestselling trilogy, Season 3 reveals an origin story set centuries earlier, while continuing the saga of a dystopian society of 10,000 people living underground under mysterious circumstances. In the present, Juliette Nichols (Ferguson) survives her forced “cleaning” but returns with memory loss as the silo recovers from rebellion and faces a dangerous new threat. Meanwhile, in the “Before Times,” journalist Helen Drew (Jessica Henwick) and Congressman Daniel Keene (Ashley Zukerman) uncover a conspiracy that pulls them into a chain of events with catastrophic, irreversible consequences.
The returning cast includes Ferguson, Common, Harriet Walter, Chinaza Uche, Avi Nash, Alexandria Riley, Shane McRae, Remmie Milner, Rick Gomez, Billy Postlethwaite and Clare Perkins. Joining the cast for the new season are Zukerman and Henwick, who appeared in the Season 2 finale, along with Laura Innes, Jessica Brown Findlay, Morven Christie, Reed Birney and Matt Craven, with Colin Hanks set to recur, and Steve Zahn also set to return.
Silo is produced by Apple Studios. The series is executive produced by Yost, Michael Dinner, Nina Jack, Joanna Thapa, Ferguson, Morten Tyldum, Howey, Amber Templemore, Fred Golan, Rémi Aubuchon and AMC Studios.
