Report: Apple TV working on spin-off to its hit series Silo

Apple TV recently concluded the third season of its popular sci-fi series, Silo. A fourth and final season is slated for release in the summer of the following year. However, sources suggest that the streaming platform may have bigger plans for the franchise. According to Apple TV insider Sigmund Judge, the company is reportedly working on a spin-off show that could enter pre-production later in the year.

The spin-off would be based on an upcoming novel by Hugh Howey, focusing on events occurring in Silo 40. While Apple has not officially confirmed these plans, and despite Howey's public denial, there is one key piece of evidence that lends credibility to the speculation. The sets used in Silo have remained intact since the fourth season wrapped up in March, nearly six months ago.

Typically, shows that have no planned follow-ups would swiftly dismantle and sell off their sets to make way for new productions. However, the fact that Silo's sets are still standing indicates that Apple has plans to repurpose them for a future project, likely the spin-off currently in development. Apple has a history of investing in science fiction franchises, including spin-offs such as Star City (inspired by For All Mankind) and an upcoming series set in the Monarch universe.

Given the success of Silo among viewers, it is reasonable to expect the streamer will continue to expand its content in this genre. For additional Apple news, check out 9to5Mac on YouTube.
