Rebecca Ferguson Loves Dystopian Sci-FI Apple TV+ Series Silo For All The Right Reasons
If you need another recommendation for the fantastic Apple TV+ series Silo, then look no further than the star of the show herself. Rebecca Ferguson recently talked about the show at Deadline’s Contenders TV panel and perfectly summed it up as, “thought-provoking, philosophical, psychological.” She continued, “We had one day where we weren’t really figuring out a scene … and we just stopped the shooting for 15 minutes … and we just talked it through, because we’re not rushing anything,” adding, “This is the essence of this show.”
