Apple TV+ has plenty of prestige series to its name to draw in subscribers. From dramas like “The Morning Show” to comedies like “Ted Lasso,” there’s a little something for everyone on the platform. Now, one new show looks poised to reach those same heights as Apple TV+ has ordered “Wool” to series with some big casting. In May 2021, Apple posted a press release about how it would pursue a television adaptation of the “Silo” book franchise from author Hugh Howey. The post-apocalyptic trilogy consists of three novels: Shift, Dust, and Wool.
Wool: Cast and Plot!
There have only been two casting announcements for “Wool” so far. Rebecca Ferguson was the first to join the cast. She will play Juliette, a solitary yet hard-working engineer living within the primary community. In August 2021, it was in the news that Tim Robbins would take a trip to an eerily plausible future in Wool. Robbins’ character is Bernard, who’s the head of IT at the central Silo.
The Wool novel opens with the tagline, “If the lies don’t kill you, the truth will.” Lies versus the truth is a central conflict throughout the trilogy. The novel initially follows a protagonist by the name of Holston, who hasn’t been cast yet. He’s the sheriff of the Silo.
If you’ve read either the books or the graphic novels, you know author Hugh Howey created an immense dystopian world. The books switch protagonists often, and Juliette receives a good amount of focus at one point. There are numerous flashbacks and flashforwards in time, so while reading, it’s paramount to pay attention to every last detail.
Wool: Trailer and Release date!
There’s no trailer about the Wool. But 9years ago, a clip was uploaded on YouTube, tagged as an official trailer. There you can see the glimpse of the Wool, and that sci-fi clip is well explained by many YouTube channels.
Check out the clip here:
The initial announcement for a “Wool” series came in May 2021. There hasn’t been many words since that time and no indications of when filming will begin. Our best guess at this point is that “Wool” will come out sometime in 2023.
