From the very first episode of the Apple TV sci-fi show Silo, everyone had the same questions. Set hundreds of years in the future, the show follows people living in mile-deep silos built into the ground. And so, we all wondered things like: Who built the silos? Why did they build him? And why is it so important for everyone to stay inside? Season three of the show, which premieres on July 3, finally begins to answer those questions in some very exciting and surprising ways. It also answers many of the new questions raised by the admittedly disappointing second season. The only problem is that it takes its sweet time to do both. Apple provided io9 with all 10 episodes of Silo season three, which runs from July 3 through the beginning of September, and don’t worry, we won’t spoil anything specifically. But we will talk about the season generally, and if you want to know absolutely nothing, just know season three is much better than season two. Intrigue, suspense, shocks, everything you loved about the first season is back again. There’s a lot more happening this time around, though, and so the season, ultimately, demands a good deal of patience. Silo season one ended with Juliette Nichols (Rebecca Ferguson) getting out of the silo. Season two saw her arrive at another silo and, after many twists and turns, somehow return to her first silo. It also teased us by jumping back in time to the present day and introducing Daniel (Ashley Zukerman) and Helen (Jessica Henwick), a congressman and a journalist who seemingly had zero connection to any of this, making us wonder why the heck we just saw them in the first place.
