Silo season 2 release date confirmed on Apple TV+
The news was confirmed at San Diego Comic-Con.
After a year-long wait following that major cliffhanger, Apple TV+ sci-fi show Silo has finally got a release date for its second season.
The exciting news was officially announced at San Diego Comic-Con, confirming that season 2 will kick off on Friday 15th November, with episodes airing weekly, as is standard for Apple TV+.
Season 2 of Silo will see Rebecca Ferguson helm the series once more as Juliette 'Jules' Nichols, while other cast members including Common, Dame Harriet Walter, Chinaza Uche, Avi Nash, Rick Gomez and Tim Robbins will also return.
There will also be some new cast members making their way to the Silo, with The White Lotus star Steve Zahn confirmed to be joining the cast, playing the pivotal character of Solo.
The series is based on Hugh Howey's Wool novels, and the author previously spoke to RadioTimes.com about what the future will hold for the show.
He 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."

While the show's future beyond season 2 is not yet officially confirmed, Fergus previously told Collider that the team are hoping a third and fourth season will be filmed back to back, and will bring the series to an end.
She said: "I believe that the show has an ending, and I know when that is. So that's the answer. You will find out when the show is done.
"To be honest, I don't think it's a secret. The books are the books. It's three books, and the three books are divided into four seasons.
"So I believe, unless any Apple person is gonna jump on, I think we're absolutely fine in saying season 1, we've done. Season 2 is shot and coming out, and we're now looking at green-lighting seasons 3 and 4.
"And I think we would film them maybe together, and that would be the end."
