Silo Leaves Enormous Shoes For Fallout TV Series to Fill

Anyone who has played any of the Fallout video games has probably had a strangely familiar feeling while watching the recent Silo TV series starring Rebecca Ferguson.

The whole premise of a community living in a giant underground bunker that protects them from the deadly wasteland outside (or so the inhabitants are led to believe), with all the retrofuturistic atmosphere of outdated technology, resembles the Fallout vaults quite a bit.

Moreover, the fact that the Silo's inhabitants are covertly manipulated into believing that the outside world is hostile also resembles the fate of some of the vaults in the games, as each of them was a cite of a secret experiment conducted by Vault-Tec, the company that built them.

And with the Fallout TV series currently in production, the creators may have some pretty big shoes to fill after the recently concluded first season of Silo.

Of course, it remains unknown what the plot of the upcoming show will focus on, but it is safe to assume that at least part of it will take place in an underground vault, as the on-set photos suggest. And even though the story will inevitably bring the characters to the outside world, a rather interesting situation could arise.

When the Fallout series fails to live up to expectations, Silo can easily be the next best thing. Sure, it didn't focus on the apocalyptic wasteland, but that will apparently change in the upcoming second season, and the complex story and compelling characters made up for it in Season 1.

With the aforementioned similarities, the first season could easily be called "Fallout when none of the characters left the vault," and Silo definitely proved that you don't need mutants and raiders to have a great story.

Fans loved the first season of Silo and are eagerly awaiting the second season, which has already begun filming, but no release date has been announced.

The Fallout TV series has already wrapped filming and is expected sometime in 2024.
