Sci-fi series debuts May 5 on Apple TV+
Adapted from the novels by Hugh Howey, Apple's latest sci-fi series is set on an apocalyptic future Earth that has become so toxic that only 10,000 humans survive. And they do so by living in a giant silo buried a mile beneath the surface—and have done so for so long that they cannot remember when life first moved underground. But who built the silo, and why? No one alive seems to know, and anyone who attempts to find out doesn't live long enough to tell. Is there a murder mystery too? And growing unrest among the survivors? Sure, why not. Rebecca Ferguson heads a cast that also includes Tim Robbins, Common, Harriet Walter, Rashida Jones, David Oyelowo, and Chinaza Uche. The series comes from Justified creator Graham Yost, while Morten Tyldum (The Imitation Game) directs multiple episodes, including the two-episode debut on May 5. Critics seem impressed by the series so far.
