Severance Season 3 Officially Renewed by Apple

Apple has officially renewed the hit series *Severance* for a highly anticipated Season 3. Directed by Ben Stiller and created by Dan Erickson, this sci-fi psychological thriller has become the most popular show on Apple TV+. The recently concluded second season holds the record as the streamer's most-watched series ever. Dive into IGN's review of *Severance* Season 2 to see our take on the latest developments.

"Making *Severance* has been one of the most creatively exciting experiences I’ve ever been a part of," said Stiller. "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."

Star and executive producer Adam Scott expressed his enthusiasm, stating, "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 teases the 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."

Unfortunately, there's no release date for Season 3 yet. However, Ben Stiller, during a recent appearance on Jason and Travis Kelce’s *New Heights* podcast, reassured fans that the wait won't be as long as the three-year gap between Season 1 and Season 2. "No, the plan is not to [wait three years]," Stiller said. "Definitely not. Hopefully, we’ll be announcing what the plan is very soon. That will not be that!" He further explained the delays, saying, "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."
