Normally season-two episodes of hit Apple TV+ sci-fi series Silo air on Fridays, but Apple TV+ said it plans to move upcoming episode three to Wednesday, November 27, ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday weekend celebrated in the United States. As in the past, the streamer apparently makes that move to try to maximize viewership while people are home recovering from Turkey Day food comas.
And as many Apple TV+ watchers know, the streamer often posts new episodes the evening before the air date. So you might be able to watch it as early as Tuesday night.
Silo season 2, episode 3, pairs nicely with your Thanksgiving food coma
Silo‘s 10-episode second season emerged from its off-season bunker on Apple TV+ November 15 with the first episode. Missed it and want a quick taste before you commit to the new season? Watch the first 5 minutes here or below. You can check out the season two trailer below, too. And you can always stream episodes on Apple TV+, of course.
Silo is based on Hugh Howey’s New York Times-bestselling trilogy of dystopian novels. Created by Emmy-nominated screenwriter and show-runner Graham Yost, the series stars Swedish actor Rebecca Ferguson. She also executive produces it.
Here’s how Apple TV+ describes the show:
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 those 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.
A bonafide hit for Apple TV+
Season one, in which Juliette rises to become the unlikely sheriff of the silo, a position that exposes her to secrets, lies and conspiracies, ranked as one of the most popular series on any streaming service. And it earned an 88% critics approval rating on review-aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes.
In season 2, Ferguson stars alongside Tim Robbins, Common, Harriet Walter, Chinaza Uche, Avi Nash, Alexandria Riley, Shane McRae, Remmie Milner, Clare Perkins, Billy Postlethwaite, Rick Gomez, Caitlin Zoz, Tanya Moodie, Iain Glen and new addition Steve Zahn (War for the Planet of the Apes).
