Whenever I see announcements like this, my first thought, after being through it so many times now with different shows (cough cough the bear), is that they had enough material for 3 seasons, but shoehorned in a 4th because it's popular, and they want to milk all the viewership they can. I expect next season to be full of fluff and filler. I really really liked the first season of SILO, and I like this second season less, I'm so much more interested in the journey of discovery in SILO 17 than I am with the happenings in 18, like all the answers are in 17 to everything. I find myself frustrated with the narrative this season. Still a good show, and I'll still watch through the end, for now.

There are sooo many shows with an awesome concept and world, but it turns into a drama about a few characters interpersonal connections. Completely dropping the original point that made the story interesting in the first place. Yeah character building and relationships adds something to a story but don't make that the whole damn show when there's a fantastical situation happening in the trailer.

I agree. In the context of silo though - if they end the series where they end the books, I promise that you will not be disappointed. I haven’t seen the show yet, but from the root comment I gather it’s still only silo’s 17 and 18.

Does lemmy have spoiler tags? I have guesses for seasons 3 and 4 but don’t want to spoil anything 😅

Yeah you might want to put some spoiler tags on that.

I'm glad the show has so much potential though! I've only seen the first season but I'll keep watching with all the hype it's getting.
