Rashida Jones and David Oyelowo are the latest big names to join Wool, the series adaptation of Hugh Howey’s dystopian novels for Apple TV+.
They join Tim Robbins and Rebecca Ferguson in the series, which comes from writer Graham Yost, director Morten Tyldum and is produced by AMC Studios.
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.
Selma star Oyelowo will play Holston, the Silo’s Sheriff, while BlackAF star Jones will play Allison, his wife who works at IT.
Wool is executive produced by Ferguson, Yost and Tyldum, alongside author Hugh Howey. Remi Aubuchon, Nina Jack and Ingrid Escajeda will also serve as executive producers on the drama.
Jones is repped by United Talent Agency, Schreck Rose Dapello Adams Berlin & Dunham and Oyelowo is repped by CAA, Hamilton Hodell and Del Shaw Moonves Tanaka Finkelstein & Lezcano.
