Production

Development

The project was first announced as being in development as a feature film at 20th Century Fox, which entered negotiations to acquire the self-published e-book Wool by Hugh Howey on May 11, 2012.[16] Five days later, it was confirmed that 20th Century Fox had acquired the rights to the novel, with Ridley Scott and Steven Zaillian among those attached to produce the film.[17] On November 28, 2012, it was announced that J Blakeson was in negotiations to write and direct the film.[18] It was later announced on June 5, 2015, that Nicole Perlman had been hired to rewrite the screenplay, with Blakeson no longer involved in the project.[19] The film was ultimately shelved as a result of the acquisition of 21st Century Fox by Disney.[20]

On July 30, 2018, it was announced that a new iteration of the project was in development for television at AMC, with LaToya Morgan attached to write the adaptation under her overall deal at AMC Studios.[21] The series eventually moved to Apple TV+ on May 20, 2021, with the project receiving a series order consisting of 10 episodes. Graham Yost was attached to replace Morgan as creator and writer, marking his third series at Apple TV+ under his overall deal with the network. Morten Tyldum was also attached to direct and serve as an executive producer of the series, with Yost serving as showrunner.[22]

Casting

Alongside the series order announcement, it was also announced that Rebecca Ferguson had been cast in a lead role.[22] In August 2021, Tim Robbins was added to the cast.[23] Rashida Jones, David Oyelowo, Common, Harriet Walter, Avi Nash and Chinaza Uche joined the cast in the following months.[24][25][26]

Filming

Principal photography began in late August 2021 in Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire and was scheduled to last until the second quarter of 2022.[27] Mark Patten, David Luther, and Laurie Rose serve as cinematographers.[28]

The second season began filming by mid-April 2023.[29]

Release

Silo is scheduled to be released on Apple TV+ on May 5, 2023, with the first two episodes set to be available immediately and the rest scheduled to debut on a weekly basis until June 30.[30]
