Silo Season 3: Cast, plot, new faces, and everything to know about Apple TV+'s dystopian epic
Apple TV+ has officially renewed its hit sci-fi series 'Silo' for a third season, continuing the story based on Hugh Howey's dystopian trilogy 'Wool, Shift, and Dust'. The critically acclaimed series explores the lives of 10,000 survivors living deep underground in a silo, cut off from a toxic world above and governed by strict rules and deadly secrets. At the centre of the mystery is Juliette Nichols (Rebecca Ferguson), an engineer determined to uncover the truth behind a murder and the origins of their confined society. Season 3 will go back in time, drawing from Howey's second novel, Shift, to explore the events that led to the construction of the silo system. 'We get into the origin story [of the Pez dispenser], but we're also deep into our silo world,' showrunner Graham Yost told TIME in January 2025. 'There'll also be more to learn about the dirty bomb." Yost added in a December 2024 press release, 'It has been a richly rewarding experience to adapt Hugh's epic novels with our partners at Apple, and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to bring this complete story to the screen over the course of four seasons.' While no official release date has been announced, Apple confirmed on X that filming for season 3 wrapped in May 2025. Seasons 3 and 4 are being filmed back-to-back. Most of the main cast is expected to return, including Rebecca Ferguson, Steve Zahn, Common, Harriet Walter, Clare Perkins, and others. Jessica Henwick and Ashley Zukerman, who appeared in the season 2 finale, will join as regulars. Tim Robbins and Iain Glen may not return. Season 3 will offer a rare glimpse of the outside world, bringing light—literally and figuratively—into the dark, claustrophobic narrative. You can stream Silo exclusively on Apple TV+.

Hurricane season prep urged by Tallahassee, Leon officials
With the hurricane season set to begin June 1, public officials from Leon County and the city of Tallahassee gathered together at the Public Safety Complex to urge residents to prepare for the upcoming season. Huddled together in the media room of the complex, officials from departments across all levels of local government gathered with the "Billy the Bucket" mascot as they showed and spoke to residents what they should be packing in advance of storms and to have a safety plan in place. "This year's forecast calls for an above average season ... comprehensive preparedness requires the whole community, the young and the old, to get involved to start preparing for hurricane season," Leon County Emergency Management Director Kevin Peters said. The event was underscored by last year's slew of storms which tore through Leon County, such as Hurricanes Helene, Debby and Milton and even some that occurred prior to hurricane season such as the May 10 tornado outbreak and the "Bicentennial Storm," the effects of which still are being felt in the community. "County and city officials encourage you to keep your essential emergency supplies in a five gallon bucket ... these buckets are waterproof, easy to grab and multi-purpose," Peters said. One by one, officials placed items into the bucket while speaking about their importance for storm preparedness, three-day supply of medication, batteries, weather radio, important documents and more. Among the several speakers was Mark Wool with the National Weather Service who provided the numbers for the upcoming season. "I bring you a forecast that favors an above normal season, specifically, the numbers are 13 to 19 named storms, six to 10 of which will become hurricanes and three to five major hurricanes," Wool said. "I always like to reference the 1992 season, where there was only six named storms that whole year, can you imagine that, but the first one was named Andrew." Hurricane Andrew struck South Florida with sustained winds of up to 175 miles per hour, killing 44, and the storm continued all the way to Louisiana where it caused more deaths and an estimated $1 billion in damages, according to the National Weather Service. "I don't know how many of you recall that Helene was predicted to come directly at us," Wool continued. "Had that forecast that was out as recently as 12 hours before landfall held true, we'd still be recovering today." Outside of the Public Safety Complex, preparations will continue as Leon County looks to hold community engagement events for residents and the 2025-2026 Survival Guide will start being sent out to households. Officials shared several ways that residents can stay connected and receive alerts when storms do arrive: Leon County Citizens Connect mobile app Residents can sign up for text alerts from the city at Arianna Otero is the trending and breaking news reporter for the Tallahassee Democrat.

A silent reading group takes it to the next level
How did your love for reading develop? I've been an avid reader all my life. A teacher once told me that everyone is a reader – they just haven't found that one book that gets them hooked yet. For me, it was Journey to the Centre of the Earth by Jules Verne. I remember picking it up randomly from our home library and finishing it during our train ride to Delhi. I must have been in the fifth or sixth grade. My parents wanted both their children to be readers, so we were fortunate to have access to many comics, children's books, and encyclopaedias. That's where my love for books began. How was 'Versova Reads' founded? The community was founded in February 2024. My brother, Ujjwal, helped out during the initial two months, but I've taken sole charge since then. I had just returned from Bangalore with a knee injury that severely restricted my movement and didn't have many like-minded friends around. One random Saturday, I limped my way to the park, and ended up reading there for hours. It was a wonderful experience – being lost in a book in a park, surrounded by the tranquillity of nature with the cool early morning February breeze. I remember excitedly telling my brother about the experience and asking if he knew of any community that did this. He suggested that I start one myself. Initially, I was very nervous and wondered if anyone would show up, but we're about 60 editions in now, and every edition, many have turned up. What do you like to read? What are you reading now and what do you wish to read next? I've realised that I enjoy dystopian science fiction as it challenges me to imagine a world that never existed, giving me space to get creative and get lost in these alternate realities. I'm currently reading Wool by Hugh Howey, the first book in the Silo Series (a three-part series). It's post-apocalyptic science fiction about a community living in a giant underground silo. It's fascinating to imagine a world 144 stories beneath the surface! I was previously reading The Giver by Lois Lowry, another favourite that I highly recommend to anyone who enjoys this genre. I have several books on my to-read list after I finish this series, including classics like The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath, 1984 by George Orwell, and Japanese books translated into English like Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi. Tell us about your relationship with reading. As a young adult, I enjoyed reading series like The Hunger Games, Divergent Trilogy, and tons of novels on Wattpad (it was just a phase!). In college, I focused on business books and biographies, particularly those about women in corporate – I aspired to be like them. After that, though, I lost touch with reading, 'Versova Reads' has helped me fall in love with books again. I'm proud to say I finished 12 books last year thanks to our consistent Sunday morning reading sessions. It's been a lovely and refreshing achievement compared to the hours of doom-scrolling I totalled in before. How has the reading group nourished you as a person? My experience is slightly more nuanced than being just a reader. Being the curator requires you to put yourself out there to interact with different people, and the biggest task, in my opinion, is making everyone feel welcomed. Though, looking at myself simply as a reader, being in a reading group has helped me stay extremely consistent throughout the year. It has given me space to make memories, laugh and cry while reading. It has allowed me to have thoughtful and introspective discussions and brought me closer to reading. It has helped me overcome my inhibitions about speaking publicly and helped me form clearer thoughts. How has the group informed your reading choices? After reading every Sunday, we stack our books and discuss what we've read. While this activity is voluntary, it helps everyone learn about different authors, genres, and books that exist beyond our knowledge. I've also read a few books that fellow readers have suggested. We've had organic book exchanges among readers, which has been a delightful experience. One reader in the group would only read poetry, and he motivated me to explore more poetry myself. Do you notice any trends in what's being read at present in the group? Conversations have revealed a trend toward reading books promoted on Instagram by book influencers (if that's the appropriate term). Apart from that, I've noticed a lot of Japanese fiction being picked up by readers of all age groups. How many meetings have you had so far? How many members does the group have? We've had 61 meetings so far, every Sunday morning at 9:30. I feel the need to mention that particular time because I truly believe getting up early on a Sunday morning is a commitment that must be acknowledged and appreciated. On average, we see about 10-12 readers on a given Sunday. However, for our 60th meeting, we had a large group of 21 readers, with a mix of regular readers and new faces. On Instagram, we have a small and growing community of 1050+ followers. Have the group's activities extended beyond silent reading? Yes, we have started playing board games after our reading sessions. Someone who was reading Just Play! by Vinita Siddhartha spoke about how the author believes in the importance of play and how deeply ingrained traditional games were in our culture. He mentioned how games serve as tools for community bonding and intergenerational interaction. That's when we decided to have at least one round of a game after reading. Setting up a library is rare among reading groups. How did it happen at 'Versova Reads'? One of our readers, Ram Parsani, had a very dear friend who was also an avid reader. After his sudden demise, the family was at a loss about what to do with his collection of books. Mr. Ram took these books under his care and tried to promote reading in his building society to keep his friend's memory alive. Unfortunately, it didn't take off as he had hoped. After attending a few sessions at 'Versova Reads', he spoke to me about this collection. That's when I thought of incorporating it as part of 'Versova Reads', giving our readers access to this lovely collection of books. Which genres appear in the library, and how many books are kept currently? The broad genre categories include a mix of classic literature, thriller/crime, romance, historical fiction, science fiction, biography/autobiography, self-help, and contemporary books. We currently have about 120 books in total. Where is the library housed at present, who can access it and what are the charges? The library is currently housed in a small cupboard in Rajdoot Society at Versova. It can be accessed after our reading sessions at the park from 11:30 AM to 11:45 AM every Sunday morning. The library is open to the entire community. We charge a nominal fee of ₹20 while issuing a book, which goes to the society manager for maintaining the space and keeping it clean. How did you get space for the library? When Mr Ram acquired the books from his friend's family, he wanted them to be accessible to everyone in his society. He spoke to the society secretary, who enjoys reading herself, and she was happy to allow a small cabinet near the society office to house the books. What are your wishes or aspirations for the collection? While, at the moment, there are many books and many people willing to donate, I hope that the 'Versova Reads' library becomes a fully functioning side project of the community where readers actively borrow books. There is a plethora of untold stories in that cupboard, and I wish more people would read and share these books in our discussions after reading. Suhit Bombaywala's factual and fictive writing appears in India and abroad. He tweets @suhitbombaywala.
