The Apple TV sci-fi drama 'Silo' is receiving exceptional reviews for its third season, with critics widely describing it as setting a 'new standard' for the genre and one of the most compelling shows currently available. The series, which stars Rebecca Ferguson as Juliette, continues to explore the lives of thousands of individuals living in an underground silo within a dystopian future society.
The latest season picks up after the explosive finale of season two, which left Juliette's fate uncertain. She is now alive but suffering from memory loss as the silo community grapples with the aftermath of a rebellion. As new threats emerge, Juliette uncovers vital information about the world beyond their subterranean existence, deepening the show's intricate mythology.
Currently, 'Silo' season three boasts a perfect 100 per cent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 16 critical reviews. Reviewers have consistently highlighted the series' profound storytelling and its remarkable ability to sustain viewer interest, a feat many other long-running shows often struggle with. Tania Hussain of Collider praised the show for continually finding 'new ways to surprise,' noting how each revelation deepens both the characters and the surrounding world, solidifying its position as one of Apple TV's and television's best offerings.
Matt Fowler of IGN commended the season's 'awesome narrative two-hander,' effectively weaving together Juliette's present conflicts with the Head of IT and crucial flashbacks detailing the years leading up to humanity's confinement. This approach provides significant backstory and answers about the ruined world, culminating in a 'savage revelation' that merges both timelines. Fowler described the season as a 'critical culmination' of the first two, linking Juliette's discoveries in Silo 17 with the other characters' experiences from the season two rebellion.
Joonatan Itkonen of Region Free went further, calling the final two episodes 'some of the most intense and brilliant TV' he had seen all year, leaving him 'on the edge of my seat.' He suggested that if the series maintains its high quality to the end, 'Silo' could be regarded as an 'all-time great series' across any genre or decade. The first episode of 'Silo' season three is available now on Apple TV, with new episodes scheduled for weekly release until 4 September 2026. A fourth and final season is already in development.
