From executive producer and showrunner Graham Yost (Justified, The Americans), Wool “is 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.”
Ferguson is portraying Juliette in the series, described as an independent and hardworking engineer. Robbins will play the head of IT for the silo, Bernard.
