After we final left Juliette Nichols (Rebecca Ferguson) in Silo season 1, she was uncovering a reality she had fought lengthy and exhausting for — although it was not the reality she anticipated. And now, based mostly on the glimpse of season 2 we bought at San Diego Comedian-Con, it appears the entire world is wider than she ever knew. And thank god we don’t have to attend an excessive amount of longer to see it.

As soon as she was up there, she discovered she was proper that the exterior digital camera was a faux, solely it seems the surface world was truly a lot worse than the digital camera confirmed, and the silo’s senior management was making an attempt to maintain the folks of the silo hopeful.
