After a lengthy wait, fans of ‘Silo’ are finally gearing up to return to the underground realm filled with mystery, secrets, and survival. The third season of Apple TV+’s acclaimed dystopian drama is set to premiere on July 3, and early reviews indicate that the anticipation may have been worthwhile.
The new season has already made a significant impact on critics. As per Rotten Tomatoes, ‘Silo’ Season 3 currently boasts a perfect 100% score based on five reviews. Although the number of reviews is still limited, every critic who has weighed in thus far has rated the season positively.
This latest chapter continues the narrative based on the bestselling ‘Silo’ book trilogy by Hugh Howey. The series chronicles the lives of thousands residing deep underground in a massive silo, where they are led to believe that the outside world is perilous and uninhabitable.
Season 3 will follow Juliette Nichols, portrayed by Rebecca Ferguson, after the shocking events of the previous season. The official synopsis reveals that Juliette survives her forced “cleaning” but returns with memory issues as the silo grapples with the aftermath of a rebellion and confronts a new, dangerous threat.
The season will also delve into historical events, introducing a storyline set hundreds of years in the past. Journalist Helen Drew, played by Jessica Henwick, and Congressman Daniel Keene, portrayed by Ashley Zukerman, uncover a conspiracy that could alter everything.
Critics who have previewed the new episodes believe the series is embarking on an exciting new path. Felipe Rangel from Screen Rant rated the season an 8/10, noting that Season 3 feels distinct from the first two seasons, but in a positive manner. Rangel suggests that the new episodes usher in a new era for the series.

Chris Evangelista from Slashfilm gave the season a 7/10 rating but encouraged viewers to catch up before the story reaches its conclusion, noting that there has never been a better time to start watching.
Season 3 will once again consist of 10 episodes, following the same format as the previous seasons. New episodes will be released weekly on Apple TV+, providing fans ample opportunity to discuss the latest mysteries and theories.
