"Apple Officially Renews Severance for Season 3"

Apple has officially greenlit the highly anticipated third season of the acclaimed sci-fi psychological thriller, Severance, created by Ben Stiller and Dan Erickson. This series, which has become the crown jewel of Apple TV+, saw its second season become the platform's most-watched series to date. To delve deeper into the intricacies of Season 2, check out IGN's comprehensive review.

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, who stars and serves as an executive producer, expressed his eagerness to return, 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 encapsulates the essence of Severance:

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 a specific release date for Season 3 remains undisclosed, Ben Stiller reassured fans on the New Heights podcast hosted by Jason and Travis Kelce that the wait won't be as lengthy as the three-year gap between Seasons 1 and 2. Stiller explained, "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 elaborated on the challenges faced during the production of Season 2, attributing delays to the writers’ and actors’ strike and the extensive shooting and editing process.
