Since its inception, more than anything, Apple TV+ has excelled at genre television, especially in the sci-fi space. The sheer number of science fiction shows that populate the relatively small service is frankly overwhelming. Yet the best of those shows has somewhat flown under the radar. “Silo” premiered last year to acclaim, if not the deafening noise that followed something like “Severance.” Created by the great Graham Yost (“Justified”) and starring Rebecca Ferguson, the show’s mystery-box approach to a future society kept viewers like me compelled over the course of its ten-episode first season.

Compared to the extensive lineup of films hitting our screens in November, the television offerings seem somewhat slighter. That said, there are plenty of worthwhile new and returning series that will help ease us into the binge-heavy months of the year. Apple TV+ sees the return of two popular series, and HBO has a significant release with its “Dune” spinoff series.

The truth is, Apple TV+ still isn’t a serious streaming contender. Sure, it has many flashy projects with A-list names. But what streaming service nowadays doesn’t? But that doesn’t mean Apple TV+ is going to slow down. If anything, the streaming service has the biggest pockets to draw from, so it can keep pumping out massive projects, as seen in a new teaser.

Rebecca Ferguson is becoming close to a household name. O.K., maybe “close” is a slight exaggeration, but her profile is bigger than her social media presence, and that’s primarily because her resume over the past decade is filled with one banger after another. “The Greatest Showman,” three acclaimed “Mission: Impossible” flicks, a Best Picture nominee in “Dune” and, likely, a second Oscar nominee in her latest blockbuster, “Dune: Part Two.” And now, she’s up for a potential Emmy nomination as Juliette, a “sheriff” in a post-apocalyptic civilization trying to discover the truth behind the gigantic, multi-level “Silo” humanity is confined to.

Swedish-born, British-raised actress Rebecca Ferguson has been juggling her time between high-profile streaming and cinematic roles; her recent turn in “Dune: Part Two” helped the film earn an impressive $684.9 million at the global box office. She’s now back focusing her attention back to her acclaimed post-apocalyptic Apple TV+ series, “Silo,” and the actress told Collider that the producers already have an ending in mind that could see the streaming project end around seasons 3-4, potentially shooting those two final seasons back-to-back.

Television feels like it’s at a turning point at the end of 2023. The form has said goodbye to some of its heaviest critical darlings, including losing HBO Emmy juggernauts “Succession” and “Barry,” along with the too-soon demise of FX’s “Reservation Dogs.” It really felt like there was a question of where TV goes next … and then it went nowhere.

Does anyone else think it’s a little quiet out there? And it’s not just because the writers are on strike. After a few years of almost too much television to watch, especially around Emmy deadline season, the first half of 2023 has been relatively… quiet. Part of it is the decline of one-time critical darlings from the peak of the TV mountain with new seasons of “Yellowjackets” and “Ted Lasso” falling short of viewer expectations.

May is yet another big month for new releases (not to mention finales as we excitedly await the end of “Barry” and “Succession” on the same night.) HBO might not yet have another surefire hit on its hands to emulate the success of the aforementioned two, but they have plenty of miniseries and comedy favorites. Elsewhere the world of “Bridgerton” continues its reign with a new spinoff series, just one of two Netflix series spinoffs with “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before” getting similar treatment with “XO, Kitty.”

It isn’t a secret that during the rise of streaming, the fate of episodic television wasn’t clear. Now, many would say that they prefer shows that have the time to explore the story, the characters, and the themes throughout a season over a movie. 

Many shows highlight the strength of television, and streaming services have made it a competitive market. This year has already seen “The Last of Us,” “Pokerface,” “Shrinking,” and “Daisy Jones and The Six,” on top of the new seasons of shows like “Succession,” “The Marvelous Ms.

There seems to be no shortage of post-apocalypse content nowadays. Obviously, the TV world is dominated by “The Last of Us” discussions, but even before then, we had recent shows like “Sweet Tooth,” “Station 11,” “Y: The Last Man,” and about a dozen different “The Walking Dead” series. Well, it appears studios aren’t done with that yet, even as the world recovers from our own serious worldwide virus, with the upcoming “Silo.”
