Hit Streaming Thriller Stephen King Calls “Terrifically Suspenseful” Pauses Production

Production has halted on a sci-fi series Stephen King is obsessed with. According to Collider, actress and producer Rebecca Ferguson confirmed that Silo is now on an indefinite hiatus.

This AppleTV+ hit earned a large following in its first season and was in the process of filming the second season. However, they’ve had to shut it down since the studios forced WGA and SAG to strike instead of paying creatives a living wage.
