According to Deadline, production on Apple TV+’s Rebecca Ferguson-led Silo Season 2 has been temporarily shutdown due to the ongoing writer and actor strikes.
The indefinite Silo Season 2 delay comes after over a month since the streamer announced the official renewal of the sci-fi thriller drama. Besides Silo, the outlet also notes that another Apple TV+ show production, in the form of Foundation Season 3, will also be affected by the strikes.
