Silo's third season wrapped on Apple TV on September 4, 2026, and Apple has already set a date for the fourth and final season: July 9, 2027. That's a long wait for a show built on cliffhangers. If you're looking for something to fill the gap, the good news is that Silo belongs to a rich tradition of stories about sealed-off communities, controlled information and the terrifying question of what lies beyond the walls.
Below are ten shows that share Silo's DNA, with notes on what makes each one similar, how it differs, and where it was streaming in the US when I checked. Availability comes from JustWatch data via TMDB, plus each network's official announcements.
What makes Silo work
Before the list, it helps to name what you actually liked, because "shows like Silo" can mean different things:
- A closed world with rules nobody questions. Thousands of people live underground, and the reasons are hidden.
- A mystery revealed in layers. Each answer opens a bigger question.
- An outsider-turned-investigator. Rebecca Ferguson's Juliette Nichols is an engineer who keeps pulling at loose threads.
- Big ideas about power and truth. Who controls history, and why?
Silo, created by Graham Yost, adapts Hugh Howey's novels Wool, Shift and Dust. Apple has said the fourth season will conclude the story. You can see cast and season details on our Silo page.
1. Severance
Where to stream (US): Apple TV
Severance is the closest match in tone. Employees at the mysterious Lumon Industries undergo a procedure that splits their work memories from their personal lives, and the workers on the inside start asking what their jobs really are. Like Silo, it's a workplace thriller about information control, built on immaculate production design and slow-burn reveals. Created by Dan Erickson, with Adam Scott in the lead and Ben Stiller directing many episodes. See Severance.
2. Wayward Pines
Where to stream (US): Hulu
If Silo's premise is what hooked you, start here. A Secret Service agent (Matt Dillon) wakes up in an idyllic Idaho town that he can't leave, where residents follow strict rules and nobody talks about the outside. Based on Blake Crouch's novels, with M. Night Shyamalan as an executive producer, it ran for two seasons on Fox. The first season is the stronger one. See Wayward Pines.
3. Paradise
Where to stream (US): Hulu
From Dan Fogelman (This Is Us), Paradise stars Sterling K. Brown as a Secret Service agent investigating a killing inside a seemingly perfect community. To say much more would spoil the first episode's twist, but fans of Silo's "everything you know is a lie" structure will feel right at home. See Paradise.
4. Fallout
Where to stream (US): Prime Video
Fallout starts where Silo's characters fear to tread: a young woman (Ella Purnell) leaves her underground vault and walks into the wasteland above. Based on the video game series, it's funnier and more violent than Silo, but it shares the same core idea of sheltered people discovering that their leaders lied to them. Walton Goggins is a standout as the Ghoul. See Fallout.
5. Snowpiercer
Where to stream (US): listed on Hulu, Prime Video and Peacock, among others
The last survivors of a frozen Earth live aboard a perpetually moving train, strictly divided by class. Like Silo, it's about a sealed society held together by rules and propaganda, and the uprisings that follow. Inspired by the French graphic novel and Bong Joon-ho's 2013 film, the series stars Jennifer Connelly and Daveed Diggs and ran for four seasons. See Snowpiercer.
6. From
Where to stream (US): MGM+
A family takes a wrong turn into a small town that nobody can escape, and something terrible comes out after dark. From leans harder into horror than Silo, but it shares the same mystery-box pleasure of a community trying to figure out the rules of its prison. Harold Perrineau (Lost) leads the cast. See From.
7. Dark
Where to stream (US): Netflix
This German series is a dense, intricately plotted mystery about four families in a small town, a cave, and a disappearance that connects multiple generations. It's about time travel rather than a closed world, but if you love Silo's layered reveals and diagrams-on-the-wall plotting, Dark is essential. It ran for three seasons and has a complete ending, which is a bonus. See Dark.
8. The Expanse
Where to stream (US): Prime Video
For viewers who love Silo's world-building and politics, The Expanse is the bigger, space-faring version. In a colonized solar system, a detective and a ship's crew get drawn into a conspiracy that threatens everyone. Based on the novels by James S. A. Corey, it began on Syfy and continued on Prime Video for six seasons. See The Expanse.
9. Station Eleven
Where to stream (US): HBO Max
A quieter, more hopeful choice. After a pandemic collapses civilization, a traveling troupe of actors performs Shakespeare for scattered communities. It shares Silo's interest in how people rebuild society, and how stories shape what they believe. Adapted from Emily St. John Mandel's novel, it's a single, complete season. See Station Eleven.
10. Pluribus
Where to stream (US): Apple TV
From Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan, Pluribus stars Rhea Seehorn as one of the few people left unaffected after a strange event changes humanity. It's less about a sealed world and more about one person resisting the way everyone else now thinks, but it shares Silo's mix of mystery, dark humor and moral questions. See Pluribus.
Honorable mention: 3 Body Problem
Where to stream (US): Netflix
If you like Silo's science-driven mystery, this adaptation of Liu Cixin's novel follows a group of scientists who uncover a decades-old secret with world-changing consequences. It's from Game of Thrones' David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, with Alexander Woo. See 3 Body Problem.

If you're committing to a multi-season show like The Expanse or Snowpiercer, our guide to starting a long TV series has tips for pacing yourself. And if you're unsure whether something is a one-and-done story or an ongoing series, our explainer on limited series, anthologies and ongoing shows clears up the labels.
Give the first episode a fair shot
Several shows on this list, especially Dark and The Expanse, take a few episodes to find their footing. Others, like Severance and Paradise, are built around a strong opening hook. Our breakdown of what makes a great TV pilot explains why some shows grab you instantly while others reward patience.
Keeping costs down
These shows are spread across Apple TV, Hulu, Prime Video, Netflix, MGM+ and HBO Max. You don't need all of them at once. Pick one service, finish what you want, then rotate. Our guide to spending less on streaming covers how to do that without losing track. You can also browse more series on our TV shows page.
The bottom line
Silo's final season arrives on Apple TV on July 9, 2027. Until then, Severance is the best tonal match, Wayward Pines and Paradise come closest to its premise, and Fallout is the most fun. Start with whichever matches what you loved most about life in the silo.
