Who are Daniel, Charlotte, and Helen in Silo season 3?

Published by Daniella Wilson

With the arrival of Silo season 3 comes an entirely new timeline – and a big clue as to how the silos were created in the first place. The third season of the Apple TV hit, which has so far focused on the story of Juliette (Rebecca Ferguson) in Silo 18, with brief flashes back to the past, will now take us back to the “Before Times”. As part of that, it’s going to tell the story of Daniel (Ashley Zukerman), Helen (Jessica Henwick) and Charlotte (Jessica Brown Findlay), who we meet in season 3 in the aftermath of Iran setting off a dirty bomb in Washington DC. But who exactly are these new characters? Here’s everything you need to know. Who is Daniel in Silo season 3 and who plays him? Ashley Zukerman. Matei Horvath/FilmMagic Daniel Keene is a congressman, who is determined to do right by his people. He’s steadfast in the knowledge that he is employed by the people – and it’s them who he needs to answer to. He was previously an …

When does Silo season 3 take place? Both timelines explained

Published by Daniella Wilson

It’s time for Silo season 3 to level up, with the series now tackling two different timelines. The Apple TV hit has previously covered the story of Rebecca Ferguson’s Juliette in Silo 18, hundreds of years after humanity was forced underground. By this point, the origins of the silos are unknown and the “founders” are little more than myths. However, season 3 is about to turn this narrative on its head by going back to the “Before Times” with congressman Daniel (Ashley Zukerman) and journalist Helen (Jessica Henwick) to show us what happened when the silos were built. Here’s everything you need to know about the two different timelines tackled in Silo season 3! When is Silo season 3 set? According to Hugh Howey’s books, Juliette’s story takes place in the 24th century – around 2352. However, the “Before Times” (where we meet Daniel and Helen) will be a bit more recognisable to audiences, despite still containing some sci-fi elements. That story is set in our near future – from about 2049 to 2052. Rebecca …

How to read the Silo books in order after Apple TV+ series

Published by Daniella Wilson

With Silo season 3 arriving on Apple TV, now is the perfect time to delve into Hugh Howey’s books, the which are the inspiration behind the Rebecca Ferguson series. Season 3 is set to diverge quite heavily from Shift, the second book in Howey’s Wool trilogy, with showrunner Graham Yost recently opening up to Radio Times about the difficulties involved in adapting it. He said: “The heaviest lifting we had to do was in this season, and then to an extent, in the final season. The first two seasons were the first book. “The first half of the first book gets Juliette sent out to clean, and the second half is her in Silo 17 and the rebellion in 18. And so we followed that roughly. We did a bunch of switcheroos and stuff, but basically that. “In Shift, the second book, Juliette doesn’t appear until the final page, and I said, “Hugh, we’re not doing that.” And he’s like, “Cool. I wanna see what you do.” There are certain twists in the book that …

Silo season 3 showrunner reveals political reason for character change

Published by Daniella Wilson

Silo’s showrunner Graham Yost has revealed the unexpected reason behind a big change in season 3 of the Apple TV dystopia. The Rebecca Ferguson series, based on the novels by Hugh Howey, will switch between two timelines in its upcoming season – continuing Juliette’s story in Silo 18, and taking us back to the “Before Times” with journalist Helen Drew (Jessica Henwick) and congressman Daniel Keene (Ashley Zukerman). Except, in Howey’s novel, Shift, Daniel isn’t called Daniel. He’s called Donald. When asked about the change by Radio Times, Yost suggested the change was due to the name being so recognisable as a result of Donald Trump’s presidency. Yost said: “I didn’t want to name a character Donald in this world, either because I believe in that Donald or not believe [in him]. It’s recognisable, it’s too much of a hot button. Also I love the Elton John song Daniel!” While Silo seasons 1 and 2 have kept relatively faithful to Howey’s novels, season 3 will diverge from the books more than ever before. It creates …
