The sci-fi series “Silo” will return for two more seasons, with the third chapter already filming in the United Kingdom.

Tim Cook, Apple’s chief executive, joined series star and executive producer Rebecca Ferguson on the sprawling “Silo” set at Hoddesdon Studios in suburban London to make the announcement.

“We feel very good about it. We couldn’t be happier. We’re already shooting the third season,” Cook said in an interview with Reuters in the Silo 18 cafeteria.

“We have an opportunity to walk around these environments again in new circumstances, with new threats,” Ferguson added. “We’re back on the show and it’s tense, it’s wonderful and it’s mysterious

The dystopian drama is based on the “Silo” trilogy of books by American author Hugh Howey and takes place deep underground, where the last inhabitants have taken refuge for hundreds of years to escape what they were told to be a toxic environment on the surface of the Earth.

Juliette Ferguson plays an engineer whose suspicions are aroused when she searches for answers to the death of a loved one and becomes determined to reveal the secrets of the silo. The first season ended with Juliette emerging from Silo 18 and the second season, currently streaming on Apple TV+, sees her world turned upside down.

The fourth season will conclude the series, the directors said.

Five years after Apple TV+ launched in November 2019, Cook said he considers the service “successful in every way.”

“Like the rest of Apple, we want to be the best, not produce the most,” Cook said.

“We focus on the best quality, with the best storytellers, all original. We think ‘Silo’ is a fantastic example of that and, of course, the UK is a great place for storytellers and it’s a great place where people want to work, that’s why we do a lot of things in the UK,” he added.

New episodes of the 10-year second season of “Silo” are released every week, and the series finale will premiere on January 17.
