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 …

Silo’s Juliette Nichols has never been afraid to get her hands dirty – but her new position means she’s now taking up an entirely new challenge. In a first look teaser about what lies ahead shared by Rotten Tomatoes, a quick clip of Juliette (Rebecca Ferguson) confirms she’ll be taking up a new mantle as Mayor of the Silo. With just over a month to go until Silo returns for season 3 on July 3, the snippet of what’s to come sees Juliette getting dressed in a smart power suit, pausing to look at the scar on her neck. Someone then knocks at the door and calls out to her off-screen, calling her “Madam Mayor”. Want to see this content? This page contains content provided by Instagram.

Apple today announced that its hit sci-fi series “Silo” is returning for a third season starting Friday, July 3, and it shared a teaser trailer. “Silo” follows the lives of 10,000 people living in an underground bunker to escape the seemingly toxic wasteland outside. The people are unaware of why the silo was built, and those who seek the truth face deadly consequences.

The show is based on Hugh Howey’s best-selling book series, and it is one of the most popular original series on the Apple TV streaming service.

Fallout’s society includes vault-dwellers (shown here) and those stuck topside Lorenzo Sisti/Prime This is the year of the bunker – at least, it is on TV. We kicked off in January, just as season two of Fallout (Amazon Prime Video) was getting going. It is a lively alternate history, set hundreds of years after the US was nuked, with a privileged few now living in subterranean “vaults”, while the rest inhabit a topside wasteland of monsters and mercenaries. Vault-dweller Lucy is looking for her villainous father Hank, accompanied by The Ghoul, an irradiated gunslinger with no nose but buckets of gruff charm. Then came Paradise (Disney+), returning for its second season this month. The cataclysm here is a volcano-induced mega-tsunami that has ended civilisation, causing the US elite to retreat beneath a mountain in Colorado. Having tracked down the killer of US President Cal Bradford, secret service agent Xavier Collins has heard of survivors and sets off to find his wife Terri, while political machinations continue inside the Colarado bunker. And later this year, season …
