Is Silo Season 3 releasing in June 2025? Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on June 2, 2025, 19:00 IST Last updated June 2, 2025, 13:40 IST The dystopian sci-fi series Silo , streaming on Apple TV+, has captivated audiences with its gripping narrative, intricate world-building, and stellar performances, particularly by lead actress Rebecca Ferguson as Juliette Nichols. Based on Hugh Howey's Wool trilogy, the show explores a post-apocalyptic world where survivors live in a massive underground silo, bound by strict rules to protect them from a toxic outside world—or so they're told. After a thrilling Season 2 finale, fans are eagerly awaiting news about Season 3, with rumors swirling about a potential June 2025 release. Here's everything we know so far about Silo Season 3. Is Silo Season 3 Releasing in June 2025? As of June 2, 2025, Apple TV+ has not officially confirmed a June 2025 release date for Silo Season 3. Speculation about a June 2025 premiere has circulated among fans, but recent reports and production timelines suggest otherwise. Filming for Season 3 began in October 2024 in the UK, with Seasons 3 and 4 being shot back-to-back, as confirmed by showrunner Graham Yost and star Rebecca Ferguson. Production wrapped in May 2025, according to social media posts from the official Silo account and Apple TV+. Looking at past patterns, Season 1 filmed from August 2021 to mid-2022 and premiered in May 2023, a roughly 10-12 month post-production period. Season 2 began filming in June 2023, paused due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes, resumed in December 2023, wrapped in March 2024, and premiered in November 2024—about an 8-month gap. If Season 3 follows a similar timeline, a late 2025 release (November or December 2025) or early 2026 premiere (January to March 2026) seems more likely than June 2025. Some unverified rumors have hinted at an earlier release, but without official confirmation, a June 2025 date remains speculative and unlikely based on current evidence. Where to Watch Silo Seasons 1 and 2 of Silo are currently streaming on Apple TV+, with all episodes available. Season 3 will premiere exclusively on the platform.

What to Watch After The Last of Us
There was a time when the idea of a video game adaptation sounded alarm bells, with all but guaranteed audience disappointment and critical dismissal. But the times have changed, especially with the success of HBO's The Last of Us, based on the video game of the same name. The series earned massive acclaim from fans and critics alike, including 8 Primetime Emmys. The game-changing show follows Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) as they survive a harsh and unforgiving America that's been taken over by the undead—and the other humans who have survived aren't exactly friendly. It's not hard to see why The Last of Us has broken the video game curse. The adaptation takes the game's hugely engaging story and expands it for the screen, bringing tremendous performances, stunning effects, and impeccably shot action. It's a tale of humanity's survival at its most desperate, the unshakable bond between two unlikely people, and a zombie horror all in one. As the second season of the series comes to an end on Sunday, we've got some suggestions on how to fill that Last of Us -shaped hole in your lives. From other world-building epics and post-apocalyptic dramas to other worthy video game adaptations, these choices should fit the needs of every kind of Last of Us fanatic. Post-Apocalyptic Dramas Silo A mysterious and unknown event means that all of humanity now lives deep underground in a Silo, a complex and gigantic 144-level community with firmly entrenched class systems and plenty of intrigue. Juliette (a sensational Rebecca Ferguson), an engineer working at the very bottom of the Silo, begins to unravel a theory that may change everything that's understood about their way of life. The AppleTV+ series benefits from spectacular world-building, with carefully layered details that reveal more and more about life in the Silo as episodes progress. Silo is a wicked and bingeable slow burn with a tantalizing central mystery. And there's no fear of it being cancelled too soon, as the show has been confirmed for Season 3 and plans to conclude the story in Season 4. Chernobyl A miniseries with universal acclaim, including winning 10 Primetime Emmys, Chernobyl hones in on the nuclear fallout in the Soviet Union city of Chernobyl. Created and written by Craig Mazin (who went on to co-create and write The Last of Us), the series is bleak, heartbreaking, and utterly haunting, yet nearly impossible to look away from. Like The Last of Us, it's a provocative exploration of humanity on the brink, fighting back against what feels like an impossible force. The impressive ensemble cast includes Jessie Buckley, Jared Harris, Emily Watson, Paul Ritter, and Stellan Skarsgård. Station Eleven The 10-episode miniseries uses multiple timelines to explore the lives of those who survived a vicious and widespread flu that wiped out much of humanity as they strive to rebuild society. What's fascinating about Station Eleven, created by Patrick Somerville (Maniac), is that it doesn't follow the kind of people you might expect, like societal leaders or rebellious groups. Instead, we see the world through a theatre troupe known as the Traveling Symphony, which performs Shakespeare in the new world as they attempt to make sense of the carnage that took so much life. This is a magical series about the healing power of art and how the key to survival lies in community. World-building Epics The Walking Dead Both an apocalyptic drama and a world-building epic, AMC's The Walking Dead has everything a fan of The Last of Us could want: a horde of undead, beloved characters, and great action. The series begins with Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln), a sheriff's deputy who wakes from a coma to find the world taken over by creatures called 'walkers,' and goes from there. As a bonus, once you get into the series, you may not need to look for your next show for many months; on top of the 11 seasons of The Walking Dead, there's an array of spinoffs, including Fear the Walking Dead, World Beyond, and The Ones Who Live. The Leftovers A shocking event changes the world forever when 2% of the entire world's population vanishes without a by Damon Lindelof (Lost, Watchmen) HBO's The Leftovers examines the impact of the event, dubbed the 'Sudden Departure,' on a series of people in a small New York town. There's police chief Kevin (Justin Theroux), Reverend Matt (Christopher Eccleston), and his sister Nora (Carrie Coon), grieving the loss of her husband. The impressive ensemble cast also includes Regina King, Margaret Qualley, Amy Brenneman, Liv Tyler, and Ann Dowd. At just three seasons, epic might not be the best world to describe The Leftovers, but this unpredictable, thought-provoking series is so expansive in its ideas that it deserves to be discussed alongside the biggest and best of them. Other Video Game Adaptations Twisted Metal The number of video game adaptations are fairly limited, and the ones that are actually worth recommending are even fewer. But Peacock's Twisted Metal is genuinely fun, and a much lighter look at a post-apocalyptic landscape than The Last of Us, though there's still plenty of thrilling action sequences. Writers had a lot less to work with here, adapting a game where you drive a car around and blow stuff up into an intriguing story about John Doe (Anthony Mackie) who's saddled with a strange package he must deliver across a ruthless America with foes that try to wipe him out at every turn. Fallout Created in 1997 by Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky of Interplay Entertainment, Fallout has emerged as one of the most beloved role-playing game franchises in history. The retro futuristic games have been given TV series treatment, which Amazon has already renewed for two additional seasons. Occurring hundreds of years into the future, Lucy (Ella Purnell) leaves her very secure home in Vault 33 (most people live in bunkers called Vaults after a nuclear war in 2077), heading into unforgiving wastelands to try and find her kidnapped father. It looks and sounds terrific, and delivers exciting action and intriguing characters with a welcome comic edge. Devil May Cry Perhaps the show most tonally opposite to The Last of Us on this list, Netflix's Devil May Cry is a riotous, colorful blast of punk energy. Based on the extremely popular (and fun) action series from Capcom, Devil May Cry follows mercenary demon hunter Dante (voiced by Johnny Yong Bosch) as he tries to take down a terrorist known as the White Rabbit (Hoon Lee). This animated series helmed by Adi Shankar is visually adventurous and stylish, and its action sequences are fast paced and inventively choreographed. The first season's sixth episode is a particularly strong standout, and a great example of why the show is so damn fun.

BBC Death Valley viewers switch off within minutes as they make same complaint
BBC Death Valley viewers switch off within minutes as they make same complaint The new comedy drama series began on Sunday night, but some viewers were left unimpressed Viewers who tuned in to watch the new comedy drama series on BBC were quick to switch off, with many expressing the same criticism. Death Valley, which premiered on Sunday night (May 25), stars Timothy Spall as John Chapel, a reclusive actor renowned for his role as a TV detective, who also has a talent for solving real-life crimes. Despite his attempts to lead a quiet life, he encounters detective Janie Mallowan (Gwyneth Keyworth), who is investigating a mysterious death in the area. As it turns out, she's a huge fan of the actor, and the unlikely duo team up to solve crimes. The show, which was entirely filmed in Wales, boasts a star-studded cast alongside Spall and Keyworth, including Steffan Rhodri from Gavin and Stacey, Alexandria Riley of Silo and The Pembrokeshire Murders, Sian Gibson from Peter Kay's Car Share, and additional writing from comedian and actor Sian Harries. The series features a star-studded cast (Image: (Image: BBC) ) Despite the show's lighthearted premise and positive early reviews, some viewers were left underwhelmed and took to social media to share their initial thoughts, reports the Express. Article continues below While The Guardian described the show as "a fun new crime spoof for Ludwig fans," not everyone agreed. One viewer expressed their disappointment: "Just what I thought! It's too silly. The Guardian says people who love Ludwig will love Death Valley. NO! I LOVE Ludwig - this is absolute rubbish!" "Five mins and switching off - this is AWFUL. So bad," voiced one viewer, while another offered their take on the programme's quality with "BBC1 weekday afternoon vibes to it." Gwyneth Keyworth plays a detective in Death Valley (Image: (Image: BBC) ) Another viewer tuned in only to say, "Hmm ... Not hitting the spot yet." Meanwhile, someone else clearly unimpressed stated, "Ten minutes unintelligible thanks." However, not everyone was left feeling let down, as many praised Timothy Spall's exceptional portrayal of the elusive television personality. Comparisons with other series emerged too, with a fan saying, "Love Timothy Spall," and another drawing parallels to an ITV production: "#DeathValley this is very much like #ProfessorT," they wrote. Paul Doolan, the mind behind the series, opened up about the origins of the show ahead of its first episode. "I liked the idea of a TV actor who played a detective, and a fan of them, and the awkward relationship, but I couldn't really get beyond what else was funny about that," he revealed to the BBC. "Then I thought 'what if they solve murders?', which is all really meta, and then started plotting it based around that."

Like Murderbot? Here are 3 more sci-fi shows to watch
Apple TV+ appears to have another critical success on its hands. Murderbot, which stars Alexander Skarsgard as a sentient robot who is trying to hide his sentience, is receiving overwhelmingly positive reviews and is being praised for its sharp, funny tone. If you like Murderbot and are looking for other shows that scratch the same itch, we've got you covered. We pulled together this list of three sci-fi shows like Murderbot that are worth watching. Recommended Videos Mrs. Davis (2023) If you'd like to watch something that establishes a similar whimsical tone as Murderbot, then Mrs. Davis is a good place to start. The series follows a former nun who decides to take on an artificial intelligence that is taking over the world. After striking a deal with artificial intelligence, she's sent on a wild and sometimes confusing journey into a world of resistance and secret societies. Anchored by a remarkable central performance from Betty Gilpin, Mrs. Davis is wild and ambitious in ways that few shows manage to be. In an era where AI has become increasingly prevalent in the world around us, Mrs. Davis feels more relevant than ever. You can watch Mrs. Davis on Peacock. Silo (2023-) It's admittedly much more serious than Murderbot, but Silo builds the same kind of expansive and interesting world as that show. It's riveting in its own right. The series is set inside of a silo where 10,000 people live. Although they have been led to believe that the world outside is decimated or unsafe, some people begin to believe that the entire world around them is nothing more than a lie. As the leaders of the silo try to maintain order, they face a populace that is becoming more and more restless and is looking around for someone to blame. Rebecca Ferguson is brilliant at the center of this series, and the show knows how to maintain intrigue as its plot unfolds. You can watch Silo on Apple TV+. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (2022-) Star Trek: Strange New Worlds exists to remind you just how fun Star Trek can be. The series, which is technically a prequel to the original show, follows the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise as they explore new worlds and travel the galaxy. Starring Anson Mount, the show has exactly the right combination of silliness and stakes, and, above all else, the show knows how to create stories that are fun to watch. Murderbot's sense of humor is undeniably a little bit darker than Strange New Worlds, but if you're looking for something with some whimsy, Star Trek has you covered. You can watch Star Trek: Strange New Worlds on Paramount+.
