Time is ticking ever-closer to Dunesday, as arguably the two biggest franchise releases of the year arrive in theaters on the same day. On December 18, the star-studded Avengers: Doomsday will be joined by Dune: Part Three as it makes its global debut, with the latter expected to be a decade-defining sci-fi spectacle. The final installment in Denis Villeneuve‘s acclaimed adaptation of Frank Herbert‘s Dune novels, Part Three boasts an eye-catching cast, including Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Florence Pugh, Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, Javier Bardem, Anya Taylor-Joy, and more.
For Ferguson fans, the release of Dune: Part Three might mark her most exciting project of a stacked year, but there is the small matter of her genius sci-fi series’ return to attend to in the meantime. On July 3, 2026, Silo, Apple TV’s genius sci-fi hit based on Hugh Howey’s New York Times bestselling trilogy (Wool, Shift, and Dust), will return for a hotly anticipated third season that promises plenty of twists and turns. Boasting a total of ten episodes, Silo will release throughout the summer, starting on July 3 and continuing every Friday through September 4. A certain must-watch while Apple TV subscribers continue to wait for Severance Season 3.
The Emmy Award-winning Graham Yost series has already become a favorite for Apple TV subscribers, with the second season earning rave reviews. “Silo continues to surpass the genre, asking viewers to question not only the motives of those in power but the strength of their convictions,” wrote Tania Hussain in Collider’s review of Season 2, with nothing but near-perfection expected again for Season 3. Ahead of the next installment, and following the release of a trailer, Silo has returned to the streaming charts, officially ranking as one of the ten most-streamed titles on Apple TV in the U.S.

Your Hero Has Been Identified Your Sci-Fi Hero Is…
Your answers point to the iconic sci-fi hero who shares your instincts, your values, and your particular way of facing the impossible.

Arrakis · Dune
Paul Atreides
You carry a weight most people would crumble under — the knowledge of what you’re capable of, and the burden of what you might have to become.
Advertisement
You see further ahead than others and you plan accordingly, even when the vision frightens you.
You are driven by loyalty to your people and a sense of destiny you didn’t ask for but can’t escape.
Paul Atreides is not simply a hero — he is someone who understands the cost of power and chooses to bear it anyway.
That gravity, that willingness to carry what others won’t, is exactly you.
USS Enterprise · Star Trek
Captain Kirk
You lead with instinct, warmth, and an absolute refusal to accept a no-win scenario — because you’ve always believed there’s a third option nobody else has thought of yet.
Advertisement
You take the mission seriously without ever taking yourself too seriously.
Your crew would follow you anywhere, not because you demand it, but because you’ve earned it.
Kirk’s genius isn’t tactical — it’s human. He reads people, bends rules with purpose, and wills outcomes into existence through sheer conviction.
That combination of warmth, audacity, and relentless optimism is unmistakably yours.
The Rebellion · Star Wars
Princess Leia
You are the kind of person who holds the line when everyone else is losing faith — not because you’re fearless, but because giving up simply isn’t something you’re capable of.
Advertisement
You lead through conviction. Your voice carries because your belief is unshakeable.
You gave up everything ordinary the moment you chose the cause, and you’ve never looked back.
Leia is not a supporting character in her own story — she is the moral centre of the entire rebellion.
That same fierce, principled, unbreakable core is what defines you.
The Nostromo · Alien
Ellen Ripley
You are not reckless, not grandiose, and not particularly interested in being anyone’s hero — you just refuse to stop when it matters.
Advertisement
You see threats clearly, you document the truth even when no one listens, and when the time comes you handle it yourself.
Ripley’s heroism is earned, not performed. She doesn’t have a speech — she has a flamethrower and a plan.
You share her composure under the worst possible pressure, and her refusal to pretend the monster isn’t there.
When it counts, you don’t flinch. That’s everything.
The Wasteland · Mad Max
Max Rockatansky
You have been through fire that would break most people — and what came out the other side is something the world underestimates at its peril.
Advertisement
You don’t ask for help, don’t need validation, and don’t wait for anyone to tell you the rules no longer apply.
Your loyalty, when it finally arrives, is absolute — but it’s earned in silence and tested in action, not in words.
Max is not a nihilist. He is someone who lost everything and found, against his will, that he still has something worth protecting.
That bruised, stubborn, ultimately human core is exactly yours.

Rebecca Ferguson Has Already Had a Busy Year
Although the return of Silo and the arrival of Dune: Part Three might be her most exciting projects of the year, Ferguson has already been very busy in 2026. She began the year with Mercy, an AI-based sci-fi thriller that co-starred Chris Pratt, and, although it faced mixed reviews from critics, the film has since become a huge streaming success. Then came a role in Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, the huge Netflix phenomenon that saw Cillian Murphy make his final bow as Tommy Shelby, before Ferguson starred as the villainous Dame Snap in the fantasy adaptation The Magic Faraway Tree, which has so far received near-perfect reviews.
Silo Seasons 1 and 2 are streaming now on Apple TV. Stay tuned to Collider for more streaming updates.
