Silo Season 1
Overview
Silo Season 1 is the first season of Apple TV+'s dystopian science fiction drama, based on the Wool series of novels by Hugh Howey. The first season is set in a future where humanity lives in a giant, underground silo, 144 stories deep. The silo is a self-contained ecosystem, with its own farms, power plant, and judicial system. No one knows why the silo was built, or what happened to the outside world. The only view of the outside is through a large screen on the top floor, which shows a desolate, toxic wasteland. Anyone who asks to "go outside" is sent out to clean the sensors, and they die within minutes. The first season follows Juliette Nichols (Rebecca Ferguson), an engineer who works in the silo's mechanical department. She is called to the top floor to investigate the death of a sheriff. She discovers that the sheriff was investigating a conspiracy: the silo's founders are hiding a terrible secret about the outside world. The first season ends with Juliette going outside the silo, and discovering that the outside world is not as toxic as she was led to believe.
