Hugh Howey's Wool trilogy is the foundation, but Apple TV+'s Silo takes creative liberties. Some changes expand the world; others streamline the narrative.
Key Differences
Expanded Character Arcs Characters like Sims and Bernard have significantly more development in the show.
Pacing Changes The books jump forward in time; the show fills in gaps.
New Storylines Several plot threads are show-original, designed to deepen the mystery.
The Rebellion The show develops the resistance movement more fully than the books.
