Adapted from Hugh Howey's best-selling books known as Wool, Shift, Dust and additional short stories, Silo tells the story of the last ten thousand people on earth, their mile-deep underground home protecting them from the toxic outside world. However, no one knows when or why the silo was built and any who try to find out face fatal consequences.

Rebecca Ferguson (Dune, Mission Impossible), who also executive produces, stars as Juliette, an engineer. After a loved one is murdered, Juliette sets out to find answers and stumbles onto a mystery that goes deeper than she could have imagined.

Also starring are Common (The Chi), Harriet Walter (Succession), Chinaza Uche (Dickinson), Avi Nash (The Walking Dead), David Oyelowo (Selma), Rashida Jones (Parks and Recreation) and Tim Robbins (Mystic River).

Silo is produced for Apple TV Plus by AMC Studios. The series is executive produced by Graham Yost (Band of Brothers, Justified), Howey, Morten Tyldum, who also directs the first three episodes, and Ferguson, alongside Nina Jack, Fred Golan, Rémi Aubuchon and Ingrid Escajeda.

Silo premieres Friday, May 5 on Apple TV Plus.
