Apple TV+ has renewed its hit sci-fi show Silo for two more seasons. However, the show will end at that point after telling the full story of the Hugh Howey novels on which it's based. Excited to share that Silo will return for a third AND fourth season! Were thrilled to support the imagination and inspiration out of the UK as they continue to create world-class films and series, Apple CEO Tim Cook wrote on X, perhaps in an attempt to butter up the creative industry in the UK. Apple doesn't tend to share viewership data for its shows and movies. However, Nielsen said soon after the show premiered last year that Silo was a breakout hit. The series debuted as the platform's number-one drama, per Nielsen data. Viewership is said to have grown in the following weeks. (We dug it early on too.) The second season of the dystopian drama is streaming on Apple TV+ now with new episodes arriving each Friday until January 17. Silo depicts a future in which there are only 10,000 people left on the planet and they're housed in a mile-deep bunker to protect them from a seemingly toxic surface. Anyone who tries to find out when or why this silo was constructed tends to meet their demise, so clearly there's more going on than might first meet the eye.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/entertainment/tv-movies/apple-tv-series-silo-will-run-for-two-more-seasons-153830028.html?src=rss

Train operator Avanti West Coast is putting a creative spin on public safety this holiday season. The company has launched Safety Thirst, a limited-edition 0.5% pale ale available on board its trains, aiming to promote responsible drinking among passengers during a time of year when alcohol-related accidents traditionally spike. Data from the Rail Safety and Standards Board reveals that accidents where intoxication was a potential factor increased by 45% during last years Christmas season from tripping down stairs to falling over a platform edge or driving home from the station while under the influence.The low-alcohol brew was created in partnership with Birmingham Brewing Company and comes in a can that draws inspiration from heritage railway wayfinding signage. Safety Thirsts launch was accompanied by an Avanti West Coast staff choir performing a safety-themed version of Jingle Bells (Keeps you steady, light and ready, full of festive cheer.) The campaign has garnered support from both the Rail Safety and Standards Board and harm-reduction charity Drinkaware, which notes that around a third of people now use low and no-alcohol options to moderate their drinking.
