'Silo' season 4 just got a promising update — and it's good news for season 3
For those not keeping track, Silo" season 3 of the the Apple TV Plus sci-fi series has already wrapped filming, with a projected release date window of late 2025.
But the dystopian drama is now already about to film season 4. In an interview with ScreenRant, "Silo" season 2 cinematographer Baz Irvine confirmed that the show was getting things started on its final season.
"No, no, three is actually just finished," Irvine told the outlet. "But, interestingly, I met the director, Michael Dinner, who I worked with on season 2 … he made the decision to stay on and do season 3 and season 4, [and] they're actually about to start season 4."
We've known for a while now that "Silo" would be taking a page out of the "Slow Horses" book and film seasons back to back.
'There's a big location that we're going to introduce toward the end of Season 3 that plays a very big role in season 4, showrunner Graham Yost told Empire (Yost, coincidentally, also is part of the "Slow Horses" production team).
"And because we shoot all 10 episodes [of each season] at the same time, we had to write season 3 and then basically go right into writing season 4.'

So, in theory, we're still on track for season 3 to hit the streaming service by the end of the year, with season 4 likely coming sometime in 2026.
But what if we're actually ahead of schedule? Filming on season 4 was initially scheduled to begin after a three-month post-production break following season 3. However, if "about to start" refers to any time in the next week or two, the show's production would be running a whole month ahead of schedule.
The show should take the time it needs to get things right, to be clear. But in an age where shows take 2-3 year breaks between seasons, the idea of a show that only goes a year between seasons running a full month ahead of schedule is a refreshing change.

‘Foundation' Season 3 Digs Into What It's Like for a Robot to Have an Existential Crisis
Foundation, Apple TV+'s adaptation of the famed Isaac Asimov novels, takes place in a galaxy facing an imminent, mathematically predicted age of darkness. It's troubling, especially for Empire, the genetic dynasty of clones named Cleon that's been in power for centuries, but it's not as bad as all-out extinction. But as season three begins, certain among Foundation's characters learn the math has changed, and total doomsday is all but certain. Some react to this news—signaled by worrisome changes in the Prime Radiant, the quantum supercomputer of sorts that divines what lies ahead—by escalating preventative actions, while others decide partying will help. But the most thought-provoking response comes from Foundation's arguably most complex character: Demerzel, played by Laura Birn. She's an ancient robot, the last survivor of the Robot Wars. Several hundred years ago, she was reprogrammed by the first Cleon to serve Empire—a directive that guides all of her actions and one she's powerless to defy. As Foundation has progressed, we've learned a lot about Demerzel. Her backstory gets more investigation in season three, but as Empire (and, by extension, all of humanity) faces what's to come, her role in that future becomes decidedly confusing. 'I'd say very much she is in an existential crisis,' Birn told io9 at a recent Foundation press day. 'For many centuries her path has been very clear, since [she was programmed by Cleon I], and before that also.' But that clear path is now muddied. 'This season, the information that the Prime Radiant offers—and when [season three villain] the Mule arrives, the effect it has on the whole galaxy—suddenly offers these new paths, possible paths. She's thought that she always knows the right answers, like, 'this is a way we have to work, this is the way I'm going to guide the galaxy, or guide the Cleons.'' Birn continued. 'Suddenly, when that shifts a bit, [a lot of] questions arise. What if the end comes? What's [her] responsibility in all this? Where does it leave [her] if the human species is destroyed? Is it a good thing for her? Is it something very lonely and sad? Does she carry a responsibility? Can she make a difference? So all these things kind of spiral her into a place of 'what is the purpose of my life, what is the meaning?' So it's very much an existential crisis.' Early in season three, Demerzel reaches out to a leader in the Luminist faith—Foundation fans will recall it from a key season one storyline—to act as a sounding board for her crisis. 'I think, like in many of her decisions, it's hard to say if it is a good thing or a helpful thing,' Birn said. 'In the palace nobody knows her secrets. She's very held back. She's very controlled. So to have those moments where she can literally reflect on her own things—decisions that she's made, contemplating the past and the future—it is powerful, but I'm not sure if it's helpful. Maybe for her, but maybe not for humankind.' Demerzel stores the Prime Radiant, which resembles a small jewelry box, inside her chest. It's almost where her heart would go if she were human. The choice is one made out of convenience, of course, but there's also a deeper meaning, as Birn pointed out. 'It's interesting: how do we define where the humanity in us lives? We often think that it's the heart that feels. Or it's the soul—where do we think the soul exists? That play of, that there's just a mechanical thing inside her, which is actually something so relevant for the whole galaxy, and the information that she holds close to her heart and the decisions that she makes. So yeah, I do love the play of that.' Foundation returns to Apple TV+ with weekly episodes starting July 11. Want more io9 news?

Jennifer Aniston to star in TV project based on child actor Jennette McCurdy's memoir
Jennifer Aniston is expanding her relationship with Apple TV+ beyond 'The Morning Show.' The streamer announced Tuesday that Aniston will next star in a new series based on 'I'm Glad My Mom Died,' Jennette McCurdy's 'unflinching No. 1 New York Times bestseller memoir of the same name.' ''I'm Glad My Mom Died' is a heartbreaking and hilarious recounting of Jennette McCurdy's struggles as a former child actor while dealing with her overbearing, domineering mother,' a press release from Apple TV+ states. 'The dramedy will center on the the codependent relationship between an 18-year-old actress in a hit kid's show, and her narcissistic mother who relishes in her identity as 'a starlet's mother,' set to be played by Aniston.' McCurdy found fame starring as Sam Puckett in the Nickelodeon sitcom 'iCarly.' Her memoir was published on August 9, 2022 by Simon & Shuster and spent more than 80 weeks on the New York Times best seller list. She is set to write, produce, and showrun the new series with Ari Katcher and Aniston will serve as an executive producer. Aniston stars as Alex Levy on 'The Morning Show' and is also one of that show's producers. The series, whose fourth season launches on September 17, is based on a nonfiction book 'Top of the Morning' by CNN chief media analyst, Brian Stelter.

Brad Pitt's 'F1' is 'Top Gun: Maverick' with cars — I'm so glad I didn't wait for it to hit Apple TV Plus
"F1" will eventually be on Apple TV Plus, one of the best streaming services out there. But I promise you — you need to see it in theaters. I get it. A movie ticket is expensive. I signed up for AMC Stubs instead of buying a single ticket for "F1" because it was a dollar more to buy a movie subscription than a single movie ticket. But I got my money's worth and then some. The big screen was the perfect setting for watching Brad Pitt drive a bespoke multimillion-dollar race car at full speed. The sound was enveloping, and I could feel it physically rattle my bones. Don't get me wrong. This movie isn't perfect. And while it's comparable to Joseph Kosinski's other high-speed blockbuster, "Top Gun: Maverick," I won't pretend that "F1" is the better movie. Despite its flaws, though, this, like "Top Gun: Maverick," is the type of movie that exemplifies an experience that only a movie theater can provide. It is a true summer blockbuster. But if you're not sold yet, here's what "F1" is about and why it is a must-watch in theaters this summer. "F1" (also known as "F1: The Movie") stars Brad Pitt as over-the-hill racing driver Sonny Hayes. Hayes was formerly a top prospect in Formula 1, but is a gun for hire at this point in his career. He's brought onto teams to go out, win a race and then move on to the next challenge. But when his old friend and former driver Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem) comes to Sonny with an offer to race in F1 again, Sonny can't bring himself to turn it down. There are just a few problems. First, Sonny isn't the lead driver on this team — that honor belongs to rookie driver Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris). More importantly, though, the car is awful, despite the efforts of APXGP's talented technical director Kate McKenna (Kerry Condon). That will make it difficult for Sonny to finish in the top 10, let alone win a race, which is exactly what he needs to do for his friend Ruben to keep control of APXGP. Let's get the bad (or rather, mediocre) things about this movie out of the way first. The story has been done before, and the dialogue is sometimes cliche. The romance subplot in this movie will either work for you (which it did, for the most part) or feel forced. If you're an F1 fan like me, there's plenty about the racing itself that isn't exactly accurate either. Race conditions are occasionally sensationalized for dramatic effect, the tactics of Sonny and APXGP probably wouldn't be tolerated as long as they are, etc. But the racing is practically done. These scenes are filmed in real racing cars (Pitt and Idris are in modified F2 cars made in collaboration with the Mercedes F1 team and Carlin Motorsport), against real F1 cars driven by real F1 drivers on real F1 race tracks. That's not to say there aren't any CGI effects, but the practical filmmaking of this film is a spectacle. That spectacle pays off. At more than one point in the movie, I saw people around me literally on the edge of their seats. Some silently cheered when our protagonists made a clever move on the track. It also makes the crashes feel real, and as an F1 fan, I was surprised how much I was moved in one moment where a crash puts a driver's life in danger. So yes, this movie is coming to Apple TV Plus. You could just watch this incredible, 156-minute-long commercial for Formula 1 from the comfort of your home. But like with "Top Gun: Maverick," this latest Kosinski film is all about the spectacle — the set pieces, the stunning visuals, the incredible sound — and that's meant for the cinema, not the home theater. Malcolm has been with Tom's Guide since 2022, and has been covering the latest in streaming shows and movies since 2023. He's not one to shy away from a hot take, including that "John Wick" is one of the four greatest films ever made. Here's what he's been watching lately:
