Rebecca Ferguson Revealed Why She Turned Down Silo Role Before Accepting
In the same interview, Ferguson also opened up about her involvement in the series as an actress and executive producer. The Dune actress revealed that she initially rejected the series before changing her mind.
Ferguson revealed that signing for the series required her to commit for at least four seasons due to the source material’s length. She said:
There were a couple of things that I wasn’t really loving so I turned it down.
The actress added that after she rejected the role, the producers came back to her and sought her feedback, especially regarding the aspects she was not quite on board with.
