- Silo Season 3 will be much less dark than season 2
- In the meantime, “turn up the brightness” of your TV
- Season 3 will include more locations and even some sunshine
If – like us – you have just bingeed the second season of Siloone of the very best Apple TV Plus shows, you know very well its big problem: darkness.
I’m not talking about darkness in the sense of sadness or horror, although Silo season 2 served up some of that. I mean literal darkness, the darkness that made it seem for long periods of time watching the second season that Apple had forgotten to pay the lighting crew and decided to go ahead and to film entire episodes with nothing more than a candle and the torch app on an old iPhone.
The good news? The darkness disappears for season 3 – and we presume that for future seasons that have been confirmed to come. Or at least some places won’t be in the depths of darkness.
Highlight Silo
The news comes via TV Line, who spoke to Silo showrunner Graham Yost and probably said, “Hey Graham, how about we make a season that we can actually see this time, huh?” Because Yost shared the good news that the lighting will be much brighter in the third season of Silo.
That’s not to say he’s sorry for making a show so dark that my brother ended up switching to one of the better TVs to watch it. According to Yost, “that’s just the way it plays out” when you’re doing a season that takes place largely underground in locations that are written as having limited or no power. “When we showed the first episode on the big screen in London it looked fantastic as cinema screens are very bright so I would encourage everyone to turn up the brightness. [on your TV]and you will see a difference.
So what changes for season 3? In a word, places. The next season will also go into much more detail about the origins of silos and the events that made them necessary. “We will be outside, we will be in the world and there will be sunshine.” Sun! But don’t expect to dim the brightness too often, because Yost also confirms that – very slight spoiler ahead – we’ll be returning to Silo 17 as well.
