"Apple Officially Renews Severance for Season 3"

Apple has officially greenlit the highly anticipated third season of the hit series "Severance," the most popular show on Apple TV+. The recently concluded Season 2 has set a record as the streamer's most-watched series to date. Dive into IGN's comprehensive review of "Severance" Season 2 to get our take on the latest developments in this gripping sci-fi psychological thriller.

Ben Stiller, the show's director, expressed his enthusiasm about the project: “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.”

Star and executive producer Adam Scott shared his excitement about returning to the set: “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.

While no specific release date for Season 3 has been announced, Ben Stiller, during a recent appearance on Jason and Travis Kelce’s New Heights podcast, assured 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 production challenges faced during Season 2: "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."
