Silo: The Underground Sensation That's Still on Top

Mon Sep 08 2025

Silo, the gripping sci-fi series based on Hugh Howey's books, continues to make waves on Apple TV+. Despite the last season ending months ago and season 3 yet to be released, the show has clawed its way back into the global top 10 streaming charts. This resurgence highlights the enduring appeal of the series, which explores a society living underground where venturing outside is strictly forbidden.

A Phenomenon Since Season 1

From its debut, Silo has captivated audiences worldwide. Its success is so profound that Apple TV+ has already greenlit seasons 3 and 4, with season 4 being the final chapter. Filming for season 3 concluded in June, and production for the final season is set to begin soon. Even without new episodes, Silo remains in the top 10 in 49 countries, including powerhouse markets like Brazil, France, Japan, and Spain.

Why the Enduring Popularity?

The show's allure isn't just about its intriguing premise and mysteries. It's also about the clever cliffhangers that compel viewers to watch "just one more episode." Silo is a series that rewards multiple viewings, making it a perfect binge-watch even for those who have already seen it. If you haven't started yet, now is the ideal time to catch up before season 3 premieres.

Apple TV+'s Sci-Fi Dominance

While Silo shines, it's not alone in Apple TV+'s sci-fi lineup. Other notable shows include:

  • Severance: A cultural phenomenon and the most-watched Apple TV+ show ever. Its second season garnered 27 Emmy nominations and several Creative Arts Emmys.
  • Foundation
  • For All Mankind
  • Dark Matter
  • Invasion

Apple TV+ has solidified its commitment to high-quality sci-fi content, and Silo is a testament to that dedication.
