Wool is based on a novel series of the same name by author Hugh Howey. The story takes place in a toxic future where a community lives inside a giant underground silo. Thousands of feet deep in the ground, the men and women of the society follow and adhere to a strict set of regulations designed to keep them safe.

Most recently, the actor appeared alongside Tom Holland and Daisy Ridley in the sci-fi thriller Chaos Walking. Meanwhile, Rebecca Ferguson is best known for her memorable turns in films like The Greatest Showman and Doctor Sleep. Up next, Ferguson is amongst the all-star ensemble for Denis Villeneuve’s Dune.
