"Apple Officially Renews Severance for Season 3"

Apple has officially announced the renewal of the hit sci-fi psychological thriller, Severance, for a highly anticipated third season. Created by Ben Stiller and Dan Erickson, Severance has solidified its position as the most popular series on Apple TV+. The recently concluded Season 2 not only captivated audiences but also became the streamer's most-watched series to date. For a detailed analysis, be sure to check out IGN's review of Severance Season 2.

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 provides an official synopsis: "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 there is no set release date for Season 3, Ben Stiller appeared on Jason and Travis Kelce’s New Heights podcast to reassure 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 affirmed. "Definitely not. Hopefully we'll be announcing what the plan is very soon. That will not be that!" He also acknowledged the delays caused by the writers' and actors' strike, 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."
