What is a silo?

in siloHumanity, or at least what’s left of it, lives miles underground. The last 10,000 humans live in a silo-shaped underground shelter, where new rules have been set. Trying to learn about the past is forbidden, but apparently, records of the past were destroyed centuries ago. Leaving is tantamount to death, as the outside environment is toxic: all the silo’s inhabitants can do to see what’s outside is use the facility’s screens.

But when the silo sheriff follows the subversive ideals of his late wife, the silo begins to crumble. His wife, Allison, doesn't believe in the silo's rules and decides to leave. The residents see her collapse to the ground right after cleaning the camera outside. Years later, the sheriff claims he also wants out, but this time, we get to see that maybe there's no such thing as a wasteland outside. The problem is that Sheriff Holston is also dead. However, he left a manifesto appointing Juliet Nichols (Rebecca Ferguson), an engineer, as the next sheriff. Juliet's husband, George, died under mysterious circumstances when he also followed Allison's advice and Juliet will use her new position to find out more.

As Deadline reports, the cast and crew appeared at San Diego Comic-Con to reveal the release date, release schedule, and new cast member. Executive producer Graham Yost, executive producer Hugh Howey — who also wrote the novels that inspired the show — and stars Rebecca Ferguson and Common took the stage before the surprise announcement of Zahn’s addition to the cast. During the panel, they also confirmed that season two will have 10 episodes, released weekly.
