Apple Officially Renews Severance for Season 3

Apple has officially announced the renewal of the hit series *Severance* for a thrilling Season 3. This sci-fi psychological thriller, created by Ben Stiller and Dan Erickson, continues to be the crown jewel of Apple TV+, with the recently concluded Season 2 setting a new record as the streamer's most-watched series ever. Dive into IGN's comprehensive review of *Severance* Season 2 to see our take on the latest developments.

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.

Here’s the official synopsis from Apple:

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 set for Season 3 yet. However, Ben Stiller, in 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 Seasons 1 and 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!"

Stiller also shed light on the delays, 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."
