The final episode Silo Season 2 debuted on Apple TV+ today, and it was as explosive a finale as fans have come to expect from the series. Apple has already green-lit the third season and the concluding fourth season, so there is a lot of speculation about what they will cover. In a new interview, series creator Graham Yost teased what is in store for the fans in the third season.
Graham Yost teases Jessica Henwick and Ashley Zuckerman’s return in Silo Season 3
The audience meets Jessica Henwick’s Helen and Ashley Zuckerman’s Congressman from the 15th district of Georgia in a flashback sequence towards the end of the Season 2 finale. In a new interview, Yost hinted that these two characters would return in Season 3 with the series delving into the origin of the silos and how the post-apocalyptic world came to be.
“We are going to get into some origin story stuff in Season 3, you’ve now met Daniel and Helen, played by Ashley Zuckerman and Jessica Henwick,” Yost told TheWrap.
The series creator also disclosed that during conversations with Apple, there were suggestions to finish the season with Rebecca Ferguson’s Juliette Nichols in the airlock and on fire. However, Yost and his team argued against it, asserting that Silo was “not a show that ends with just a cliffhanger. It needs to be something is answered and something is raised.”
The above-mentioned scene with Helen and the Congressman also reveals the origin of the Rubber Ducky Pez dispenser, the very one George Wilkins gives to Juliette centuries later. Yost noted, “With this one, it was a different kind of thing. We knew people are going to go, ‘Oh s––, that’s where the Pez came from. What does that mean?’ That then propels us forward and that’s kind of the way this show works best because it’s a mystery show.”
Notably, Seasons 3 and 4 will be filmed back-to-back in 2025, with a brief intermediate period to accommodate pre-production for the latter. Henwick has appeared in projects like Game of Thrones, Iron Fist, and Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, whereas Zukerman is known for, the Fear Street series, Succession, and The Lost Symbol.
