Silo is back on global streaming charts as fans await the third season. Streaming data from FlixPatrol reveals that the Rebecca Ferguson sci-fi drama, which has received critical acclaim, is finding a new audience in many countries. This is no minor feat for a show that has not been on the air for close to a year and with no Season 3 release date in sight. The dystopian drama's return to the charts is a strong indicator of its popularity among viewers eager to experience the next stage of the mystery thriller. Additionally, it's a tall order for a sci-fi show to keep viewers engaged this long when Apple TV has cemented itself as the destination for buzzy sci-fi shows like Severance and Pluribus.

Created by Graham Yost, Silo is about the last couple of thousand people left on Earth after a world-ending event leaves the outside world uninhabitable and forces humanity to seek lower ground in silos. Ferguson stars as Juliette, an engineer in one of the silos who stumbles across something that sends her on a dangerous truth-seeking path. The actress has been praised for her gravitas in the role, which requires emotional and physical prowess. "I've loved every minute of bringing Juliette to the screen and am immensely proud of what we've all created with Silo since the first episode," the actress said when the team learned that the show would return for more seasons.

'Silo' Has Racked Up Massive Wins Throughout

With solid source material and an exquisite cast on a platform like Apple TV, Silo was on a path to success. The first season was positively received by critics, earning a fresh score at 89% on Rotten Tomatoes. The second season fared even better with a 92% score on the same site. Meanwhile, the show has generated a lot of buzz, leading to numerous award nominations and wins. Apple TV renewed the show for two more seasons while the second season was airing, guaranteeing a fitting conclusion to this story. "I have always felt passionately about telling the entire story contained within Hugh Howey's books, so I couldn't be happier that audiences around the world have enthusiastically embraced the show. Alongside our partners at Apple, Graham, and the entire cast and crew, I cannot wait to dive into these final two thought-provoking seasons that will beautifully conclude this dystopian tale," Ferguson said, lauding Apple's decision.

Silo Season 3 does not have a premiere date yet. Season 4 is still in production. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
