Apple put out a series order for "Silo," then dubbed "Wool." Now, just under three years later, Apple TV+ has decided to end the series without giving the cast and crew a chance to finish the story.
On Monday, Apple announced, "Silo" has been picked up for season three and four, which will allow the series to conclude in its fourth year. That's considerably more notice than the recently-canceled "Time Bandits" had gotten.
Currently, its not known whether or not "Silo" was always intended to be a four-season story, or if Apple has pulled the plug before its time. Either way, it's hardly uncommon for a service to cancel a streaming-only series relatively early as compared to broadcast television.
"Silo" began airing its second season on November 15 and will continue to air new episodes every Friday through January 17, 2025. Airing dates for seasons three and four won't be known for some time.
Apple had renewed "Silo" for a second season in June 2023. The series had its production halted a month later during WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.
In April, "Silo" received two Bafta Television Awards. It won Best Production Design as well as Best Original Music.
Season one began airing on May 5, 2023.

Not even plausible.
5 seasons they would have had to pad with filler that distracts from the plot. Much like the article author felt the need to do with poor research and just making stuff up
It's really striking how short attention spans have become.
You're not the anomaly.

It's good that they have reasonable season limits for some shows and don't drag them on for 10 seasons like other networks. Maybe 40 episodes is a bit much for Silo, it probably could have been a bit more condensed but the high production values are nice with good actors.
A show should go as long as good stories and acting hold up. When that stops being the case or the writer has said what they wanted to say, then it's time to bid adieu.
Some shows overstay their ability to sustain good story telling. Others are cancelled far too soon mostly on the bad judgement of studios or networks. I'm all in on Silo.
