@theglassmagazine: Over the past decade, actor and our next cover star, Jessica Henwick, has quietly become one of the most compelling performers of her generation. From navigating the political brutality of Game of Thrones to the layered realities of The Matrix Resurrections and the razor-sharp social satire of Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, she has consistently gravitated towards stories that interrogate power, truth and the human instinct to survive. Now, she steps into one of television’s most unsettling worlds. Joining the third season of Apple TV+’s Silo as Helen, a journalist determined to uncover the origins of the underground civilisation at the heart of the global hit series, Henwick enters the story at the moment its greatest mysteries begin to unravel. “I think she is such a truth seeker,” Henwick tells Glass. “Honesty is probably the trait she values most in herself and in other people.” Speaking with Glass in London ahead of the new season, Henwick reflects on journalism, storytelling, the future of cinema and why Silo feels less like science fiction than a warning for the present. She also reveals how a simple message to creator Graham Yost unexpectedly led to the role. “I was actually a fan of season one and wrote to Graham... I was just admiring the show, I wasn’t trying to get a role or anything,” she says. “He called me and pitched me Helen’s entire storyline... and I immediately went to my agents and said, ‘Make it happen.’” Following the BAFTA-nominated success of her directorial short Bus Girl, she is carving out a voice behind the camera that is every bit as distinctive as the performances that have made her one of Britain’s most exciting talents.
