Rebecca Ferguson stars in showrunner Graham Yost’s adaptation of Hugh Howey’s books, and after only one season, the show landed on our list of ahead of renewal. The series’ vast accomplishments cannot be understated, either, because Howey’s excelled at world building in a way that felt both palpable and impossible to execute onscreen/in real life. Yet Yost did the thing, and now, it’s time to turn to where the into much more of the “fiction” leg of science fiction, which makes the challenge even larger for the small screen.
With that said, the second season of will head into territory explored in Howey’s book, and this sleeper TV series heads from where the first season ended (on the surface with Juliette being exiled from her silo, only to walk over the hill and see more silos) back underground. Let’s get down to business on where this sci-fi thriller plans to take us next. Plot We won’t focus too much on the book-related events here other than to say that the book is expansive with multiple timelines and many additional characters, and none of those characters have been mentioned by Yost or the cast other than a key addition: Solo.
The prospective casting of that character has been of great interest to fan forums, and dare we say that the perfect actor for this role joined the second-season cast? Steve Zahn (whose first season turn in helped make the franchise the ongoing sensation that it remains today) was cast as the neighboring-silo survivor who will.
