New Silo Image Hints Juliette Will Explore Silo 17 In Season 2
Silo 17 Will Reveal New Details About The Show’s Post-Apocalyptic World
A new image fromSiloseason 2 has been revealed (viaEW), in which Rebecca Ferguson’s Juliette Nichols can be seen in an indoor space with a flashlight in one hand. InSiloseason 1’s ending, Juliette was last seen outside Silo 18 after Bernard sent her out to clean. Since she is not outside in theSiloseason 2 image, it confirms that she has found her way inside an abandoned Silo.Silo’s showrunner Graham Yost also confirmed this by revealing that even though Walker arranged a good heat tape for Juliette to survive outside Silo 18 in season 1,her tape will eventually fail in season 2’s opening moments.
…Juliette will explore Silo 17 inSiloseason 2’s opening arc
Her failing tape would prompt her to seek shelter in a neighboring silo that initially seems to have no signs of life. The showrunner also disclosed that season 2’s premiere would initially go back in time and walk through a rebellion gone wrong in another silo. All these subtle details surroundingSiloseason 2’s opening moments suggest Juliette will explore Silo 17 inSiloseason 2’s first arc. In the original Hugh HoweySilobooks,Silo 17 was terminated after a rebellion erupted within its walls. To kill the uprising, almost all citizens of the silo were eradicated by the higher authorities.
According To The Hugh Howey Books, Juliette Will Encounter Solo In Silo 17
Solo Will Be A Crucial Character In The Overarching Story
Yost also added that although Juliette will initially follow a trail of corpses that will lead her to the lifeless Silo 18, she will eventually notice that “she might not be alone.” The episode will then end with a major twist, marking the inception of a new story arc for Juliette in Apple TV+‘sSilo. Graham Yost obviously did not disclose the details of this twist, but it seems likely thatJuliette will encounter a character named Solo before the episode ends. In the final arc of Hugh Howey’s firstSilobook,Wool, Solo is introduced as the sole survivor of the rebellion in Silo 17.
He becomes a crucial character in Juliette’s journey because he tells her a lot about the other silos and even helps her establish communication with Silo 18. This later allows Juliette to contact Lukas, who tells her everything that has happened in Silo 18 since her departure. He also discloses the IT’s secrets to her, allowing her to deduce her next plan of action. SinceSiloseason 1 only revolved around characters from Silo 18, Solo would be an incredible addition to the show’s rost, making it hard not to wonder who will play him in season 2.
Despite Solo’s Introduction, Silo Season 2 May Stray Away From The Books
Many Changes In Silo Season 1 Have Triggered Major Book Deviations
The early details surroundingSiloseason 2’s opening moments suggest that the show will closely adapt the original Hugh Howey books even in the upcoming installment. This is great news because the show’s loyalty to the source material will continue to please viewers familiar with Howey’s work. Since the author did a brilliant job of creatingSilo’s compelling world-building, staying close to the book’s storyline would benefit the show. However, it seems likely that, similar to season 1,Siloseason 2 will also stray away from the books in more ways than one.
In the book, Lukas also gets access to a lot of insider information because Bernard keeps trusting him even after Juliette’s exit.
Juliette and Lukas’ relationship inSiloseason 1 was significantly different from how it was portrayed in Hugh Howey’sWool. This makes it hard not to wonder if Lukas will be Juliette’s ally in season 2. In the book, Lukas also gets access to insider information because Bernard keeps trusting him even after Juliette’s exit. The same cannot happen in the show afterSiloseason 1, raising several questions surrounding how Juliette will save her people from Silo 18 while staying in Silo 17.
