Tim Robbins Joins the Cast of Apple TV+ Series Adaptation of WOOL Opposite Rebecca Ferguson

Tim Robbins (The Shawshank Redemption, Mystic River, Castle Rock) has signed on to star in the series adaptation of Wool at Apple TV+ opposite the previously cast Rebecca Ferguson (The Greatest Showman, Doctor Sleep, Dune).

Variety reports that “Wool is a set in a ruined and toxic future where a community exists in a giant silo underground, hundreds of stories deep. There, men and women live in a society full of regulations they believe are meant to protect them.” Robbins will play Bernard, the head of IT for the Silo.

Wool was originally a standalone short story released online. After the first self-published story became an online sensation, Hugh Howey then published a series of stories continuing the journey in subsequent books in what became the “Silo” series: “Wool,” “Shift,” and “Dust.”

Graham Yost will write and executive produce the series adaptation, with Ferguson executive producing in addition to starring. Morten Tyldum will direct and executive produce.
