Everything that was revealed about the next Silo Book

Hugh Hui has more silo novels planned

In an AMA (by Reddit), a reader asked Hugh Howie if he plans to expand Silos doctrine except the first three books. The author replied that he had a second trilogy “planned and designed,“But he wants to”Write them as a different person“Because their stories will not be the same as the first Silo Trilogy.

He added that too He wrote the first chapters of the next book And loves them so much that he doubts whether he will ever change them. Whether Apple TV will adapt the subsequent trilogy will depend on Silo‘s overall success on the streaming platform, but the prospect sounds exciting.

Will Silo Season 2 cover the second book?

Silo Season 2 will cover several arcs from Hugh Howie’s shift

Since Silo Season 1 only adopts half of VolBeing the first book in the Hugh Howey book trilogy, season 2 will likely continue to cover the remaining story arcs before moving on to the second book. however, Silo Star Rebecca Ferguson has already hinted (via TVLine) that the show will introduce some major changes to the books. The early footage of Silo Season 2 also suggests the show will drift away from the original books’ story before returning to the original story.

Since the second Silo book, ShiftUnfolds over 100 years earlier Vols events, the show needs to bring a well-rounded closure to the events of season 1 before exploring the origins of Silos post-apocalyptic world. With that said, as the show’s creators have planned a four-season run for the series, Silo Season 2 will likely have to cover at least the opening arcs of the second book To be able to complete the entire original story in four seasons. The suggested book changes in Silo Season 2’s narrative will likely help the series achieve this.

How likely is Silo to stick to the book?

The series will have to make changes to finish the story in four seasons

It is unlikely that the Apple TV+ series will follow Hugh Houry Vol Books hit by hit, but with the author involved with the production, expect it to at least keep the theme and focus of the story. The idea of ​​bringing in an entirely new cast for the possible third season to tell Silo’s backstory is unlikely. Instead, it may be more likely that the show will continue forward with the main cast but drop in flashbacks that show what happens in the second book along the way.

It will also be tough in some ways since the Apple TV+ show will have to deal with the budget, and although multiple silos can happen thanks to CGI, it will also need to have a higher financial budget regardless. From the word that the show’s creators have planned four seasons, expect a lot to be eliminated from the books to create a tighter and more focused series. It could mean some major changes in SiloBut fans who want the whole story still have these Vol Book series there to read.
