According to Deadline, the Apple TV+ series Silo has indefinitely paused filming amid the SAG-AFTRA strike and the WGA strike. The series premiered on May 5 of this year and was recently renewed for second season.
Silo’s IMDB description reads, “Men and women live in a giant silo underground with several regulations which they believe are in place to protect them from the toxic and ruined world on the surface.”
Silo is based on Hugh Howey’s (Sand, Shift) dystopian trilogy. The series has been filming in Hertfordshire at Henderson Studios. Silo stars Rebecca Ferguson (Dune, Mission Impossible: Fallout), Tim Robbins (Mystic River, Bull Durham), and Rashida Jones (Parks and Recreation, The Office). The series was expected to take break while the production switched sets, but, according to Deadline, the pause is going to be extended until further notice.
Deadline also reports production of another Apple TV series, Foundation, is also expected to be postponed indefinitely because of the actor’s and writer’s strikes. The series is based on books by Issac Asimov (The End of Eternity, Nightfall) and features Lee Pace (The Fall, Halt and Catch Fire) and Jared Harris (Chernobyl, Morbius). Despite shooting in Prague in the Czech Republic, Apple has yet to officially confirm a season three. The IMDB description for the series calls it, “A complex saga of humans scattered on planets throughout the galaxy all living under the rule of the Galactic Empire.”
Apple has declined to leave a comment for Deadline.
