'Claustrophobic and, at times, genuinely terrifying. The series stars Rebecca Ferguson, who also executive produces the series, and it premiered on Apple TV+ on May 5, 2023. Tugging this thread may uncover the truth. Silo, previously titled Wool, is an American science fiction television series created and written by Graham Yost and directed by Morten Tyldum and based on the Silo series of novels by author Hugh Howey. With newfound power and with little regard for the customs she is supposed to abide, Juliette uncovers hints of a sinister conspiracy. They are given the very thing they want: They are allowed to go outside.Īfter the previous sheriff leaves the silo in a terrifying ritual, Juliette, a mechanic from the down deep, is suddenly and inexplicably promoted to the head of law enforcement. These are the dangerous people, the residents who infect others with their optimism. This and the offer from the BBC has me wondering just what sort of film or TV show anyone would expect to make of WOOL. (I suppose I’ll know more about this after we talk). But there are always those who hope, who dream. Tonight I’ll be talking to my film co-agent, who I think is going to shop WOOL around to studios and production companies. The remnants of humanity live underground in a single silo. The world outside has grown toxic, the view of it limited, talk of it forbidden. The first book in the acclaimed, New York Times best-selling trilogy, Wool is the story of mankind clawing for survival. 'One of dystopian fiction's masterpieces alongside the likes of 1984 and Brave New World.'
