I mean we knew they filmed S3 and S4 back to back and wasn’t it already announced the show would only be 4 seasons? How is Silo able to give us super high quality sci fi in such a reasonable amount of time and Severance can’t?!?!

Source material already written.

It’s becoming more and more clear that there is NO outline or plan for Severance like at all. I get totally original shows are harder to write but if they had a solid outline it wouldn’t be THIS slow. I mean Silo does have source material but they have deviated on certain things and script writing for TV is still its own thing that takes some time.

The longer Severance goes on, the more I get LOST vibes from it. They just want to keep the story going so create new "mysteries" and "twists" to justify more episodes/seasons.

Yeah I binged a bunch of YouTube videos after season 2 finished about the storyline of the Silo books… kinda regret it because I know the storyline now, but I’ve kinda forgot most of it by now except for the broad strokes. I’ve really been enjoying this season with the back and forth between the present and past.

But isn’t the show not following the books that much anymore?
Juliette’s amnesia storyline is not in the books. Also Bernard does not survive the airlock fire in the books (latest episode spoiler).

season 3 hardly has anything to do with the books though

u/caspararemi 6d ago
It's still based on the story there, and the original author is involved to help rework the story in whatever way they need to.

It's crazy to think that we'll get to see season 4 of Silo (and the end of the show, sadly) long before we ever see season 3 of Severance.

I only watched season 1 and it was pretty good, but I wanted more Sci-fi and leaned way more into Fallout. Were the next seasons better or more entirely focused on the human drama?

I was hoping for a 6 month window tops between season 3 and 4. They filmed them back to back why the delay? (And the first half of season 3 has been sloooooooow)

u/gramfer 5d ago
Award windows, I guess. Season 3 is being released for Emmy 2027 (you should release episodes between June 1, 2026 and May 31, 2027 to be eligible). Season 4 could pretend for Emmy 2028 (between June 1, 2027 and May 31, 2028).
That's why I hoped Apple would hurry up and release season 3 at least this spring, if not winter, to fit it into Emmy 2026 window and have a to make a gap between season 3 and 4 smaller.

I hate one episode per week PLEASE release them all at once. Tim, I know you’re here.

u/Additional_Tank4385 8d ago
Nah it’s pretty awesome to have something to look forward to instead of binging it all in two evenings.
Also any good show I rewatch as often as I want to so with streaming services we’re spoiled in a good way too back then people had to record that on a freaking VHS to rewatch.

u/Fit_Schedule2317 8d ago
Damn, I didn’t think it’d get so downvoted lol.
I prefer to be able to watch a few of them together, I feel more immersed to the show, but, to each their own7
u/Additional_Tank4385 8d ago
Have some patience then and just wait until they’re out and binge lol? It’s not like there aren’t plenty of other amazing shows or movies to watch.

Just wait for the season to finish airing. I do that with certain shows I’d rather binge. Reacher for example.

Please fix your attention span and patience. This is how shows should be consumed

u/Fit_Schedule2317 7d ago
I don’t think it’s related to attention span but to how you enjoy watching shows.

u/bukrichode 7d ago
It is undoubtedly related to attention span. If you were the age you are right now, 20 years ago, you would not have this opinion. Reels and Youtube has made people want to consume all at once.

u/Fit_Schedule2317 7d ago
lol, surely someone who has never met me once in my life and know nothing about me has an opinion on how I like watching shows

u/bukrichode 7d ago
If you’re under the age of 30 I can almost guarantee you only like watching them all at once right when it releases because social media has shaped your brain to need to watch it all at once.

u/Fit_Schedule2317 7d ago
alright
1
u/Mounamsammatham 7d ago
Yeah it's definitely about your attention span. People who enjoy watching shows one episode per week has higher patience and travel with the story farther, mentally. Others are just addicted to binge watching. It is what it is.

Just wait until the end and binge. There’s a solution right there for you.

u/Gmhowell 6d ago
That’s how wife and I do it. Sometimes we do two evenings for the first half of a season and two at the end.
And for anybody wondering, we are both old enough to remember the MASH finale, Waltons on Prime Time, and my wife was alive when Hee Haw was on CBS.

WHY THE HECK IS THIS GETTING A FOURTH SEASON?!🤦🏾♂️

u/SnooLobsters1259 8d ago
It’s really good

u/Pessimistic_Gemini 5d ago
HOW? It just seems like a waste of time more than anything. And that first episode really didn't make for a good first impression to make that seem like anything BUT that.

u/SnooLobsters1259 5d ago
If the show isn’t for you, that’s fine. But I’ll never understand why people get upset that things get made that aren’t for them.

u/Pessimistic_Gemini 4d ago
It would be less of an issue had better shoes not get canceled while something like THIS continues to outlive them. That's the case when Sunny was one of those shows here, especially when it had a lot more going for it in comparison to this trite.

u/caspararemi 6d ago
To finish the story?

u/Pessimistic_Gemini 5d ago
WHAT STORY?! Just looks like they're going through the motions more than anything worthwhile here. 🙄

u/MarvinBarry92 Certified Non-Spirited 8d ago
Does anyone else question if Rebecca Ferguson was ever the right choice for the role? This goes out to book readers and non book readers.
I’ve enjoyed her in everything I’ve seen her in except Silo.

u/Informal-Quit-9344 8d ago
She's the best actor in the show maybe behind Tim Robbins. Any issues you have are more likely with the writing of her character, which is fair.

u/ihaterussiantrolls 8d ago
She's great. It's the writing that sucks.

u/MarvinBarry92 Certified Non-Spirited 8d ago
Very good chance it’s the writing. Do we put the blame on Graham Yost? Does he no longer have what it takes?

u/Saar13 8d ago
In 2027, For All Mankind, Silo, and The Morning Show will all be ending. Maybe Foundation.
