- Silo Season 3 will be much less dark than Season 2
- Meanwhile, “turn up the brightness” on your TV
- Season 3 will include more locations and even sunshine
If you – like us – have just binged the second season Siloone of the very best Apple TV Plus programs, you’ll be very familiar with its big problem: the dark.
However, I do not mean dark in the sense of gloom or horror Silo season 2 served up some of that. I mean literal darkness, the darkness that made watching the second season feel for long periods as if Apple forgot to pay the lighting crew and decided to go ahead and film entire episodes with nothing more than a candle and the torch patch on an old iPhone.
The good news? Darkness lifts for Season 3 – and we assume future seasons that have been confirmed are coming. Or at least, some of the places won’t be in pitch darkness.
Brings Silo into the light
The news comes via TV Line, which has spoken to Silo showrunner Graham Yost and probably said, “hey Graham, how about making a season we can actually watch this time, huh?” Because Yost has shared the welcome news that the lighting will be much brighter in the third season of Silo.
That doesn’t mean he’s sorry for making a show so dark that my brother ended up upgrading to one of the best TVs to watch it. According to Yost, “that’s just the way it plays” when you’re doing a season that’s largely underground in places that are written as having limited or no power. “When we showed the first episode on a big screen in London, it looked amazing because movie screens are very bright. So I just encourage everyone to turn up the brightness [on your TV]and you will see a difference.”
So what changes for Season 3? In short, places. The next season will also go into much more detail about the origins of the silos and the events that made them necessary. “We will be outdoors and we will be in the world and there will be sunshine.” Sunshine! But don’t expect to turn down the brightness too often, because Yost also confirms that – very mild spoiler ahead – we’ll also be returning to Silo 17.
