Apple Officially Renews Severance for Season 3

Apple has officially announced the renewal of the critically acclaimed show, Severance, for a much-anticipated Season 3. This sci-fi psychological thriller, masterminded by Ben Stiller and Dan Erickson, remains the crown jewel of Apple TV+, with its second season setting new viewership records as the streamer's most-watched series to date. Dive into IGN's comprehensive review of Severance Season 2 to discover our detailed thoughts on the latest installment.

Ben Stiller shared his enthusiasm, stating, "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, star and executive producer, echoed the excitement, saying, "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."

Season 3 of Severance is available upon request.

Apple's official synopsis for Severance reads, "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."

Unfortunately, no release date has been set for Season 3 yet. However, Ben Stiller, in a recent appearance on Jason and Travis Kelce's New Heights podcast, reassured fans that Season 3 won't face the same prolonged wait as Season 2. Stiller said, "No, the plan is not to [wait three years]. Definitely not. Hopefully we'll be announcing what the plan is very soon. That will not be that!" He further explained, "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."
