"Apple Officially Renews Severance for Season 3"

Apple has officially greenlit a third season of the hit sci-fi psychological thriller, *Severance*, created by Ben Stiller and Dan Erickson. The series, which has become the most popular show on Apple TV+, concluded its second season, which has set a record as the most-watched series ever on the platform. Dive into IGN's review of *Severance Season 2* to see our take on the latest developments.

Ben Stiller expressed his excitement about the project, saying, “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, star and executive producer, shared his enthusiasm: “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.”

Apple's official synopsis of *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. 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's no set release date for Season 3, Ben Stiller reassured fans on Jason and Travis Kelce’s *New Heights* podcast that there won’t be another three-year wait as experienced between Seasons 1 and 2. Stiller stated, "No, the plan is not to [wait three years]. Definitely not. Hopefully we’ll be announcing what the plan is very soon. That will not be that!” He also acknowledged the impact of the writers’ and actors’ strike, 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."
