There’s one big question that haunts every post-apocalyptic story: the apocalypse itself. Maybe you start with the apocalypse unfolding in the first episode before leaping to the future, like The Last of Us or Fallout, maybe you keep the true nature of the apocalypse secret until a key moment, like in Paradise, or maybe you don’t acknowledge what happened at all, like in Twisted Metal.
But Apple TV’s post-apocalyptic sci-fi series Silo is trying a new tack entirely. Season 3, premiering in July, splits the story between the post-apocalyptic present, where Juliette (Rebecca Ferguson) returns to her home silo after being exiled for a “cleaning,” and the pre-apocalyptic past, where politicians do what they can to prepare for the worst. Check out the first teaser for the series below:
