    Apple signs order for new world-building drama 'Wool'
    -----------------------------------------------------
    Apple TV+ has announced a series order for "Wool," based on
    Hugh Howey's best-selling post-apocalyptic science fiction
    series, "Silo."

    Set in a ruined and toxic future, "Wool" is a world-building
    drama that explores a society living in a giant underground
    silo, hundreds of stories deep.

    Rebecca Ferguson ("Dune," "Mission: Impossible,") will star
    as Juliette, an independent and hardworking engineer coping
    with living in a society full of regulations.

    "Wool" is based on Hugh Howey's New York Times bestselling
    trilogy of dystopian novels. The series will be written by
    Emmy-nominated screenwriter Graham Yost ("Band of Brothers,"
    "Justified") and directed by Academy Award nominee Morten
    Tyldum ("Defending Jacob," "The Imitation Game.")

    "Wool" joins other upcoming sci-fi titles on Apple TV+, such
    as the yet-unnamed sci-fi comedy-drama series produced by
    and starring Andy Samberg.

    Apple TV+ had an estimated 40 million subscribers at the end
    of 2020, according to a recent report. Analysts at JP Morgan
    believe the fledgling streaming service could hit 100 million
    subscribers by 2025.

    Would rather have Cleopatra 2525 back.
