Apple TV's hit science fiction mystery drama Silo has finally returned for its third season today (Friday, July 3) after a hiatus of more than a year.

Mission: Impossible star Rebecca Ferguson leads the thriller as Juliette Nichols, an engineer who begins to uncover a vast conspiracy in the heart of the Silo following a string of mysterious deaths. Swedish Hollywood star Ferguson's latest roles include the Netflix films A House of Dynamite and Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, and she is also famed for portraying Ilsa Faust in the Mission: Impossible franchise and Lady Jessica in the Dune films.
