Apple Officially Renews Severance for Season 3

Apple has officially announced the renewal of the hit series *Severance* for a thrilling Season 3. Directed by Ben Stiller and created by Dan Erickson, this sci-fi psychological thriller has solidified its position as the most popular show on Apple TV+. The recently concluded second season has broken records as the most-watched series ever on the platform. Dive into IGN's comprehensive review of *Severance Season 2* to discover our take on this captivating series.

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, the star and 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 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 colleagues delve deeper into the consequences of tampering with the severance barrier, leading to more intense challenges. The season introduces new series regulars Sarah Bock and Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, adding fresh dynamics to the narrative.

While no release date has been set for Season 3, Ben Stiller reassured fans on the *New Heights* podcast hosted by Jason and Travis Kelce that there won't be another three-year wait like the 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 also noted the impact of the writers' and actors' strike on production, stating, "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."
