We first lay eyes on Juliette as she makes a dangerous move in order to repair the Silo’s generator, which is located within the dreary, lower-most levels. Over the course of the early episodes, Bernard will acquire more power and, as such, draw interest from Judicial. The head of the IT department, Bernard locks horns early on with Allison, over a seemingly benign memo she sent out. The bad news? Allison’s work in the Silo’s IT department draws her into a mystery that threatens to expose a secret, puts her at odds with her lawman husband, and ultimately leads her to make a very difficult choice.


The good news: As the series opens, Allison and her husband, Sheriff Holston, learn that they have been approved to (again) try to conceive a child! That’s a big deal in a confined society that demands strict population control. Holston is forced to contend with different conflicts when his wife Allison starts to question well-established Silo tenets, and also when Juliette from engineering leans on him to treat a suspicious death like the murder it (probably) is. Sheriff Holston is the senior lawman, with several deputies from a variety of Silo levels serving under him. Jahns’ many duties include overseeing the forced exodus of any resident who voices their wish to “go outside.” In the early episodes, the Mayor makes a choice that is deemed quite controversial by Judicial, setting in motion a power struggle.ĭeputy Marnes dutifully serves Sheriff Holston - and in the series’ jarring cold open, which is bit of a flash-forward, Marnes can only look on, helpless, as Holston inexplicably does the unthinkable. Mayor Jahns is the genial leader of Silo society, though the division known as Judicial does what it can to keep her in check. MAYOR JAHNS and DEPUTY MARNES, played by Geraldine James and Will Patton.

No one knows when or why the silo was built, and anyone who goes snooping for answers faces fatal consequences.Īs a recurring mantra that is read from a text known as The Pact goes: Before you journey into the titular Silo of Apple TV+’s upcoming dystopian drama, it couldn’t hurt to get a quick, non-spoilery heads-up on who is who within that stark, subterranean society.īased on Hugh Howey’s bestselling trilogy of novels ( shop Amazon) and created for television by Justified‘s Graham Yost, Silo follows the last 10,000 people on Earth as they navigate life in a mile-deep, underground home that protects them from the toxic outside world.
