A trailer focusing on the origin of the silo and on Juliette's memory
The Apple TV preview starts with Juliette Nichols in the foreground, reflecting in voice-over about their own existence and the reason why the world is the way they know it. The protagonist raises the idea that, before understanding where they are headed, the inhabitants of the silo need to know how it all began.
One of the key moments in the trailer comes when the image of the arid and toxic landscape of the surface gives way to a scene of a green and seemingly habitable environmentThis transition suggests that the origin of the disaster and the construction of the silos will be explained in more detail in these new episodes, linking up with what was hinted at in the epilogue of the second season.
The video montage combines the present of the silo with brief glimpses of a bygone era, in which the world is not yet devastated.

In this stage, Juliette once again finds herself at the center of the conflictHer experience outside, however hazy, and what she has discovered about the lies that sustain the system make her an uncomfortable figure for those trying to restore the old order, and a possible role model for those unwilling to close their eyes again.
