"Apple Officially Renews Severance for Season 3"

Apple has officially greenlit Season 3 of the critically acclaimed sci-fi psychological thriller, *Severance*, created by Ben Stiller and Dan Erickson. This series, which has become the most popular show on Apple TV+, recently concluded its second season, which has set a record as the most-watched series ever on the platform. For a detailed take on Season 2, you can read IGN's review of *Severance* Season 2.

Ben Stiller expressed his enthusiasm about the project, 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, added, “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.”

The official synopsis from Apple describes *Severance* as follows: "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 a release date for Season 3 has not been announced, Ben Stiller appeared on the New Heights podcast with Jason and Travis Kelce, where he assured fans that the wait won't be as long as the three-year gap between Seasons 1 and 2. Stiller mentioned, “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 attributed the delay between seasons to the writers' and actors' strike, 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."
