The season finale of Silo has fans wanting more. And the good news is that they are getting it. The bad news is that Apple TV announced that it will be the final one.
Based on Hugh Howey’s New York Times bestselling trilogy, season three revealed an origin story set centuries earlier, while continuing the saga of a dystopian society of 10,000 people living underground under mysterious circumstances. In the present, Juliette Nichols (Rebecca Ferguson) survives her forced “cleaning” but returns with memory loss as the silo recovers from rebellion and faces a dangerous new threat. Meanwhile, in the “Before Times,” journalist Helen Drew (Jessica Henwick) and Congressman Daniel Keene (Ashley Zukerman) uncover a conspiracy that pulls them into a chain of events with catastrophic, irreversible consequences.
Along with the announcement, they revealed a first look at the final episodes, which will debut on July 9th. Hopefully, this will keep fans as they wait 308 days to find out what happens next.
The good news is that For All Mankind will be back for its sixth season. The bad news is that it will be the alternate timeline that takes on space travel show’s last one on Apple TV.
“Getting to explore the ‘For All Mankind’ universe over six seasons has been an amazing privilege, and we’re thrilled to have the opportunity to finish the story the way we’ve always hoped,” said Wolpert and Nedivi. “We’re incredibly proud of what this series has become, and grateful to Apple TV and Sony Pictures Television for helping us see it through to its final chapter.”
Before we get to that chapter, we still have to get through season 5, which premieres on Friday. This upcoming season picks up in the 2010s, years since the Goldilocks asteroid heist. Happy Valley has grown into a thriving colony with thousands of residents and a base for new missions that will take us even further into the solar system. But with the nations of Earth now demanding law and order on the Red Planet, friction continues to build between the people who live on Mars and their former home.
I got into the series because my friend had a bit role in season 1, and I was hooked. The first three seasons were ingenious in how they handled being set in a parallel timeline that had successfully colonized the Moon and Mars, and all the greed and BS that goes along with that. However, last season, after they moved to Mars, it started to lose me. It stopped being about space exploration and became more about the strife between Mars and Earth.
I will stick with it for the final two seasons, but I think they are smart to be ending it.
Palm Royale was the belle of the ball with 11 Emmy nominations during its first season on Apple TV. However, its second season was not as popular.
So even though it had a star-studded cast, Kristen Wiig, Laura Dern, Allison Janney, Ricky Martin, Josh Lucas, Leslie Bibb, Amber Chardae Robinson, Mindy Cohn, Julia Duffy, and Carol Burnett, it was not enough to get back in Apple TV’s ball. Therefore, Deadline is reporting that it will not be back for a third season.
Palm Royale was a niche show because it was a clever comedy, and not everyone has the time to appreciate brilliance. However, I am one of the ones who does, so I am thankful we got two seasons because that is better than nothing.
Apple TV released the first trailer for the fifth season of For All Mankind, and this season does not look like the others.
The first four were all about space exploration to the Moon and Mars, and colonization of the territories. But this season is about survival. Not survival to live, but survival of what they accomplished on Mars.
This season picks up in the 2010s, years since the Goldilocks asteroid heist. Happy Valley has grown into a thriving colony with thousands of residents and a base for new missions that will take us even further into the solar system. But with the nations of Earth now demanding law and order on the Red Planet, friction continues to build between the people who live on Mars and their former home.
The season premiere drops on March 27th with a new episode every week until the season finale on May 29th.
Palm Royale will be back for season 2 next month, and today Apple TV released a preview of what we can expect. And what can expect is an even crazier season. And not only because Carol Burnett is awake this time around, but also because Patti LuPone joins the cast.
In season two, Maxine is left a social pariah after a scandalous public breakdown. She’ll have to draw on her deep well of cleverness and cunning to prove, once and for all, that not only does she belong, but she just might have what it takes to rule this town. Along the way, she will uncover untold truths and finally understand what this town is truly built on … secrets, lies, and the occasional felony.
The first episode drops on November 12th with a new episode every week until the season finale on January 14th.
