Guide to ‘Silo’ Season 2 on Apple TV+: Release Date, Cast & More

Near the top of Apple TV+’s large catalog of science fiction series is Silo, a dystopian drama that has captivated fans, sci-fi lovers and novices alike. After the world was destroyed by a rebel uprising nearly a century and a half ago, the seemingly last community on earth resides in an underground silo, protected by what is called the Pact.

This set of strict rules governs those in the Silo “to protect them,” but to protect them from what? Is the Outside really as dangerous and uninhabitable as Judiciary – one of the law enforcement groups in the Silo – wants them to think? What’s really out there?

After a critically acclaimed first season, Silo is back for a second to (hopefully) answer some of these questions. Keep reading to get more information on the Silo Season 2 release date, cast guide and more.

‘Silo’ Season 2 Release Date

The season 2 premiere of Apple TV+’s Silo will be Friday, November 15, 2024.

How Will ‘Silo’ Be Released?

Gone are the days where you can immediately binge a whole season of your favorite TV shows from streaming services. Taking a note from linear television’s playbook, many streamers are now choosing to release their streaming series on a week-by-week basis.

Silo season 2 will likely be released weekly, as its first season was. But don’t worry! Apple TV+ dropped the first two episodes of season 1 on the premiere date, so fans can hopefully look forward to that happening again.
