Apple Officially Renews Severance for Season 3

Apple has officially greenlit a third season of the critically acclaimed sci-fi series *Severance*, directed by Ben Stiller and created by Dan Erickson. This psychological thriller has become the crown jewel of Apple TV+, with its second season setting a record as the platform's most-watched series to date. Curious about the latest season? Don't miss IGN's comprehensive review of *Severance* Season 2.

Ben Stiller expressed 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 as Mark Scout and also serves as an executive producer, shared his excitement about returning for another season. "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."

Season 2 delves deeper into the consequences of tampering with the severance barrier, leading Mark and his colleagues down a path fraught with peril. The season introduces new series regulars Sarah Bock and Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, adding fresh dynamics to the narrative.

While a release date for Season 3 remains under wraps, Ben Stiller reassured fans during an appearance on the New Heights podcast with Jason and Travis Kelce 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!" He elaborated on the delays, citing the writers' and actors' strike and the extensive shooting and editing process for Season 2, which lasted 186 days.
