Silo Spoilers: What Happens In The Books & Biggest Reveals
Here’s a breakdown of all the biggest reveals from the original Hugh Howey Silo books that unfold after the events of the Silo show’s season 1 ending.
Unlike Silo, Apple TV+’s Sunny Will Feature Rashida Jones In A Leading Role
Sunny Will Feature Rashida Jones' Character In All Of Its Episodes
Silomight have underutilized Rashida Jones' acting talent in its first season, butApple TV+’s upcoming show,Sunny, is not going to do the same. Featuring Rashida Jones as its lead, Suzie Sakamoto, the series is based on Colin O’Sullivan’s bookThe Dark Manual. It follows a Tokyo-based woman whose life crumbles when her son and husband suddenly vanish after a plane crash. To console her, her husband’s electronics company gifts her a robot named Sunny, who helps her uncover the truth behind what happened to her husband and son.
Given how theSilo book series already had a massive following even before the show premiered on Apple TV+,Sunnymay not have as much hype around it asSilo. However, the compelling mystery in its story and Apple TV+’s history of delivering innovative sci-fi shows almost guarantees thatSunnywill eventually capture the attention of audiences. With a talented actress like Rashida Jones as its lead, the show at least promises to present some rich and emotionally resonant character beats even if its sci-fi elements do not deliver.
Apple TV+‘sSunnyis being promoted as a comedy-drama, with its narrative elements inclining more towards the sci-fi genre. Given how Rashida Jones has a long history of working in comedy films and shows likeParks and Recreation,#BlackAF,Between Two Ferns: The Movie, andTag,it is hard not to believe that she will capture the show’s comical aspects with perfect nuance and timing. Her limited but impactful role as Allison inSiloalso seems to have proven that she can very well lead her own sci-fi show, like Apple TV+’s Sunny, by blending her comedic forte with dramatic depth.
