Rebecca Ferguson in “Silo,” now streaming on Apple TV.Image via Apple TV
What a year it’s been for Rebecca Ferguson, who starred in several big projects during the first half of the year, like Mercy (co-starring Chris Pratt) and The Magic Faraway Tree (co-starring Andrew Garfield). The former may have bombed at the box office under the weight of its bloated $60 million budget, but it went on to become one of the most-watched movies of the year on Prime Video — most fans agree it had the feel of a streaming movie anyway. Ferguson is set to return to the sci-fi genre later this year when she reprises her role as Lady Jessica in Dune: Part Three, which opens in theaters on December 18. However, she has confirmed she will only have one scene in the sequel, a far cry from her leading role fans have become accustomed to in the first two films.
Before Ferguson returns to Arrakis for the third and final chapter in Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi saga, she has another sci-fi hit dominating streaming right now. Ferguson stars in the lead role of Juliette Nichols in Silo, the Apple TV sci-fi series that finally returned this year for Season 3 after going on hiatus for two years. Silo is in the heat of its third season, and the show has been a consistent performer on Apple TV watchlists, migrating between the #1 and #3 spots since its premiere a few weeks ago. The show is the perfect blend of Fallout and Snowpiercer, as it’s set in an eerie dystopian world and follows a group of people living in a bunker (or a vault) with little clue as to what’s happening outside their small bubble.
Collider Exclusive · Sci-Fi Survival Quiz Which Sci-Fi World Would You Survive? The Matrix · Mad Max · Blade Runner · Dune · Star Wars
Five universes. Five completely different ways the future went wrong — or sideways, or up in flames. Only one of them is the world your instincts were built for. Eight questions will figure out which dystopia, galaxy, or desert wasteland you’d actually make it out of alive.
💊The Matrix
🔥Mad Max
🌧️Blade Runner
🏜️Dune
🚀Star Wars
01
You sense something is deeply wrong with the world around you. What do you do? The first instinct is often the truest one.
02
In a world of scarcity, what resource do you guard most fiercely? What we protect reveals what we believe survival actually requires.
03
What kind of threat keeps you up at night? Fear is useful data — if you’re honest about what you’re actually afraid of.
04
How do you deal with authority you don’t trust? Every dystopia has a power structure. Your approach to it determines everything.
05
Which environment could you actually endure long-term? Survival isn’t just tactical — it’s physical, psychological, and very much about where you are.
06
Who do you want in your corner when things fall apart? The company you keep is the clearest signal of who you actually are.
07
Where do you draw the line — if you draw one at all? Every survivor eventually faces a moment that tests what they’re actually made of.
08
What would actually make survival worth it? Staying alive is one thing. Having a reason to is another.
Your Fate Has Been Calculated You’d Survive In…
Your answers point to the world your instincts were built for. This is the universe your temperament, your survival instincts, and your particular brand of stubbornness were made for.
The Resistance, Zion
The Matrix
You took the red pill a long time ago — probably before anyone offered it to you. You’re a systems thinker who can’t help but notice the seams in things.
You’re drawn to understanding how the system works before figuring out how to break it.
You’d find the Resistance, or it would find you — your instinct for spotting constructed realities is the machines’ worst nightmare.
You function best when you have access to information and the freedom to act on it.
The Matrix built an airtight prison. You’d be the one probing the walls for the door.
The Wasteland
Mad Max
The wasteland doesn’t reward the clever or the well-connected — it rewards those who are hard to kill and harder to break. That’s you.
You don’t need comfort, community, or a cause larger than the next horizon.
You need a vehicle, a clear threat, and enough fuel to outrun it — and you’re good at all three.
You are unsentimental enough to survive that world, and decent enough — just barely — to be something more than another raider.
In the wasteland, that distinction is everything.
Los Angeles, 2049
Blade Runner
You’d survive here because you know how to exist in moral grey areas without losing yourself completely.
You read people accurately, keep your circle small, and ask the questions others prefer not to answer.
In a city where humanity is a legal designation rather than a feeling, you hold onto something that keeps you functional.
You’re not a hero. But you’re not lost, either.
In Blade Runner’s world, that distinction is everything.
Arrakis
Dune
Arrakis is the most hostile environment in the known universe — and you are precisely the kind of person it rewards.
Patience, discipline, and political awareness are your core strengths — and on Arrakis, they’re survival tools.
You understand that the long game matters more than any single victory.
Others come to Dune and are consumed by it. You’d learn its logic and earn its respect.
In time, you wouldn’t just survive Arrakis — you’d begin to reshape it.
A Galaxy Far, Far Away
Star Wars
The galaxy far, far away is vast, loud, and in a constant state of violent political upheaval — and you wouldn’t have it any other way.
You find meaning in being part of something larger than yourself — a cause, a crew, a rebellion.
You’d gravitate toward the Rebellion, or the fringes, or whatever pocket of the galaxy still believes the Empire’s grip can be broken.
You fight — not because you have to, but because standing aside isn’t something you’re capable of.
In Star Wars, that willingness is what makes all the difference.
When Does ‘Silo’ Season 4 Come Out?
After Silo Season 2, Apple TV renewed the show for Seasons 3 and 4, also confirming that Season 4 would mark the end of the series. It was announced just a few weeks ago that Apple TV plans to release the fourth and final season of Silo sometime next summer, at a date that will likely be announced early next year. Silo Season 3 has won over critics, earning a 96% score on the aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes, but it’s come under fire from review-bombers. Fans are not fond of the memory loss storyline, citing complaints about rehashing plot details just for the sake of Juliette regaining her memory.
Check out new episodes of Silo every week on Apple TV and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of Rebecca Ferguson’s future projects.
