Apple TV’s dystopian sci-fi series returns next month, but before that, a new era for the show has already been started in the best way possible. Apple TV’s sci-fi shows come in different flavors. In 2026, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters season 2 expanded the Monsterverse with a lot of kaiju action, time travel rules, and more. That continued through other series.
The *For All Mankind *shared universe was recently established, beating Monarch’s planned shared universe — a Wyatt Russell spinoff series as Lee Shaw is on the way — to it. On the same day that the alternate history series’ fifth season ended, For All Mankind’s new spinoff, Star City, was released. It has since shot for the stars, ranking high on Apple TV charts all over the globe.
As such, it is clear that Apple TV knows sci-fi and its subgenres well, with one of them being dystopian. It has led to some of the genre’s most interesting releases in recent years, such as Blade Runner 2049, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, Mickey 17, Fallout, Westworld, Station Eleven, and more. Now, a dystopian Apple TV sci-fi series returns.
Silo will continue the journey of Rebecca Ferguson’s Juliette Nichols as she tries to save her home and figure out what really happened to the world. *Silo *season 3 will debut on July 3. With a month to go before the sci-fi series returns to Apple TV, the streamer must be happy to know that a key metric signals that this key new era for the show has already started.
Given how *Silo *season 2 had been released on November 15, 2024, with its final episode airing on January 17, 2025, more than a year had passed since fans watched any new episodes from the Apple TV dystopian sci-fi series. Due to that, it was understandable that Silo had fallen off the streaming service’s charts. However, the release of the *Silo *season 3 trailer on June 2 resurrected the show. After the debut of the new season’s trailer, *Silo *found its way back to the ranking of Apple TV’s Top 10 TV Shows in the United States and globally.
Silo season 2’s ending not only helps viewers to connect all the dots but also paves the way for future seasons by featuring an intriguing flashback.
Merely a day after the *Silo *season 3 trailer was released, *Silo *became Apple TV’s 8th most-watched TV show worldwide, according to FlixPatrol. Today, June 4, it stands a step below, at 9th. *Silo *is currently trending in 74 countries despite no new episodes of the dystopian sci-fi series having been released since 2025. Globally, the show leaves behind Monarch: Legacy of Monsters. One of the many countries where *Silo *is trending is the United States. At the time of writing, Silo is the 10th most-watched TV show on Apple TV nationwide, with the list led by Widow’s Bay.
Silo’s streaming resurgence comes at the perfect time for the sci-fi series. *Silo *season 3 marks a major chapter in the Apple TV sci-fi series’ history. First, it stands as the beginning of the end, as season 4 is set to be the show’s last. Second, it marks the point where Silo starts to fully explore what happened on Earth before the apocalypse. Up until the end of silo season 2, the show was focused on Juliette’s experiences in the post-apocalyptical scenario set up in season 1, with thousands living in an underground silo and the outside world a mystery.
In *Silo *season 3, fans will get many scenes set on Earth before the world becomes a barren wasteland like *Silo *has depicted so far, enhancing the series tremendously. If the *Silo *season 3 trailer was enough to send the dystopian sci-fi series back to streaming charts worldwide, then the Apple TV show will likely land at the top of Apple TV’s global charts or close to it when season 3 debuts on July 3, cementing the start of this new era in Silo’s history.
