Peter Gabriel Survives Apocalypse, Silo Showrunner Confirms
Wait! Stop! Don't go any further! Are you all caught up on Silo , the big post-apocalyptic sci-fi show on Apple TV+. Or failing that, do you not care what happens on Silo ? I've never seen an episode of the show, but this blog post evidently deals in some major-spoiler plot twists that have implications much deeper than what you already read in the headline. It's not a mere idle hypothetical for…
The season finale of Silo is set to air on Friday, and the most recent episode's flashback to the public unveiling of the silos featured a major plot moment. Peter Gabriel, a 76-year-old art-rock great, made a surprise appearance, singing his 1986 song about an apocalyptic catastrophe, "Here Comes The Flood." This was the first time Gabriel had appeared on the show to sing one of his songs, as previous episodes had used "Red Rain" and "Come Talk To Me."
Gabriel and his family were seen by character Steve Zahn's future-timeline character Jimmy, leading to speculation that Jimmy could be one of Gabriel's distant descendants. Graham Yost, the creator and showrunner of Silo, confirmed that there is a non-zero chance of this happening, although they didn't delve into the details. Gabriel and his family are reportedly fans of the show.
Yost also shared that they bonded over Peter Gabriel during the making of Slow Horses, leading to his appearance on Silo.
