Rebecca Ferguson on ‘Silo’ Season 1 Finale, Season 2, and ‘Dune: Part Two’
While speaking with actress and producer Rebecca Ferguson ahead of the Season 1 finale for Apple TV’s Silo, Collider’s Steve Weintraub had the opportunity to dig into the dystopian sci-fi with the star and find out what it’s like to portray her character, Juliette Nichols, on screen. Though the show’s first season has officially come to a close, Ferguson’s nowhere near resting on her laurels.
REBECCA FERGUSON: Cheeky, funny. We've laughed at that a lot. We were thinking we should put it in the contract, him and me. Actually, when he was cast, it was so weird because I didn't put two and two together. I was like, “I've worked… who was he? Was he my brother? No… He was my fucking father!” We laughed so much. So definitely, it's in all my contracts from now on, Iain Glen is to be my father, grandfather, cousin, or uncle.
Totally. And by the way, this is the reason why the show is so good because your showrunner, your writer is not writing while things are shooting. You're only making it better. The fact that these people have been locked up and underground for 200 years, not knowing what an option is, and to act that, the vast ongoing view of the sky, of the horizon, there's so much in that. You know, a lot of people say, “How does she react to what she sees?” I don't think she understands what she sees. At this point, it's so overwhelming, and the stress of wondering if the tape is going to hold, I think that's enough.
FERGUSON: There's a big door down there. I know we haven't activated the door without wanting to explore what the door might be. I’m just gonna leave it right there. FERGUSON: [Laughs] You’re like, “I’m just throwing it out there!” Right now, sir, it’s one fantastic fucking show, and we’ve green-lit number two. Apple is extremely happy, and I'm happier. That's where I'm gonna leave it.
FERGUSON: It's a really good question. So we work with different units and different directors, and it's something I really love because everyone has their style and their technique. So what we've seen in Season 1 is not a smash of what worked and what didn't work, it's an ongoing change because we have new directors dedicated to new episodes. And they will, themselves, see what they like or didn't like, or where they want to take it and what feeling they want.
Juliette is awkward, and I am not socially awkward. I mean, I am maybe because I'm very blunt [laughs], and people might find it uncomfortable, but I'm not Juliette in the sense that she's very socially awkward and she doesn't like people. She doesn't like being close to them, she doesn't like their energy. She walks around people. And sometimes, when I was comfortable in the scene, I forgot about it, and I moved into my own character.
