‘Silo’ trailer: A dystopian underground society hides chilling secrets
Apple TV+ is serving up a healthy portion of dystopian drama with its upcoming show Silo.
Based on Hugh Howey’s trilogy of the same name, Silo is a 10-episode series about the last 10,000 people on Earth. They live in a mile-deep underground community in order to protect them from the toxic dangers that lurk aboveground. No one knows exactly why the silo was built or what the outside world is truly like; people who ask these questions tend to get killed. Still, engineer Juliette (Rebecca Ferguson) is determined to learn the truth after a loved one’s murder. Her quest for answers unveils a deeper mystery than she previously thought, one that will have devastating consequences for her and her entire community.
Silo premieres on Apple TV+ May 5.

Train to Busan, Peninsula, and Hellbound‘s Yeon Sang-ho is back and this time the South Korean director-writer is going full dystopian sci-fi thriller.
Netflix dropped the trailer for Yeon’s latest, JUNG_E, an original for the streaming service set in a post-apocalyptic 22nd century — and the whole thing looks like a corporate ad for the fictional facility featured in the film. An AI researcher at Kronoid Lab clones her late mother’s brain (a distinguished army leader) as an AI combat warrior in an attempt to get the upper hand on a raging war on Earth, now a desolate place.
Yeon brings with him Hellbound stars Kim Hyun-joo and Ryu Kyung-soo, as titular cloned mercenary Jung_E and Kronoid Lab head Sang-Hoon, respectively. But most notably, it’s also the final screen appearance from late actor Kang Soo-youn, who died in May at the age of 55. Kang plays the AI researcher, Seohyun.
