Severance Season 3 Officially Renewed by Apple

Apple has officially announced the renewal of the critically acclaimed series Severance for a thrilling third season. Created by Ben Stiller and Dan Erickson, this sci-fi psychological thriller has captivated audiences, becoming the most-watched show on Apple TV+. The recently concluded second season set new records for viewership on the platform. For a deeper dive into the latest season, don't miss IGN's comprehensive review of Severance Season 2.

Ben Stiller, who has been deeply involved in the creation of the series, shared his enthusiasm: “Making Severance has been one of the most creatively exciting experiences I’ve ever been a part of. While I have no memory of this, I’m told making Season 3 will be equally enjoyable, though any recollection of these future events will be forever and irrevocably wiped from my memory as well.”

Adam Scott, who stars as Mark Scout and serves as an executive producer, expressed his eagerness to return to the project: “I couldn’t be more excited to get back to work with Ben, Dan, the incredible cast and crew, Apple, and the whole Severance team. Oh hey also - not a huge deal - but if you see my innie, please don’t mention any of this to him. Thanks.”

Apple's official synopsis of Severance provides insight into the show's gripping narrative: "In Severance, Mark Scout (Scott) leads a team at Lumon Industries, whose employees have undergone a severance procedure that surgically divides their memories between their work and personal lives. This daring experiment in ‘work-life balance’ is called into question as Mark finds himself at the center of an unraveling mystery that will force him to confront the true nature of his work… and of himself. In Season 2, Mark and his friends learn the dire consequences of trifling with the severance barrier, leading them further down a path of woe. Season 2 welcomes new series regulars Sarah Bock and Ólafur Darri Ólafsson."

While an official release date for Season 3 remains undisclosed, Ben Stiller reassured fans during an appearance on the New Heights podcast hosted by Jason and Travis Kelce that the wait won't be as long as the three-year gap between the first two seasons. "No, the plan is not to [wait three years]," Stiller stated. "Definitely not. Hopefully, we’ll be announcing what the plan is very soon. That will not be that!" He attributed the delay in Season 2 to the writers' and actors' strike, explaining, "There was a writers’ and actors’ strike, and it took us a while to regroup after that. I think we shot for 186 days on Season 2. There was a lot of shooting and editing, and editing takes a while. But thank goodness that the audience was there when we came back on."
