Severance Season 3: What's the Scoop?
Okay, seriously, who wasn't left completely reeling after that Severance Season 2 finale?! The cliffhangers were brutal, and honestly, I'm still processing it all. We're all desperate for more, right? While Apple hasn't officially renewed the show for Season 3, let's be real – with 3 billion streaming minutes (that's more than Ted Lasso!), it's practically a done deal. So, let's dive into what we know (and what we're desperately hoping for).
Ben Stiller Spills the (Limited) Tea
Ben Stiller, the show's executive producer and director, recently confirmed on the New Heights podcast that they're working on Season 3. Huge relief! Three years between seasons one and two was agonizing, so hearing that they're actively working on it is definitely promising news. He even teased, "News is coming soon," which, let's be honest, just adds to the already excruciating anticipation. The Hollywood Reporter even backed up Stiller's statement with news of a busy writers' room in Los Angeles.
What Kind of Severance Mayhem Can We Expect?
Creator Dan Erickson gave us a little taste of what's to come, promising "office drama, some existential themes, laughs, and creepy elements." Sounds about right! That Season 2 finale though… Mark choosing to stay in Lumon with Helly instead of escaping with Gemma? Seriously?! So many questions! Will they ever escape Lumon's clutches? What's going to happen to Gemma now that she's reunited with her "outie"? And, perhaps most importantly, are we finally going to get the full, terrifying story of Lumon's sinister experiments?
When Will We Get Our Fix? (And Who Will Be There?)
The release date? Still a big mystery. Stiller mentioned that the delays between seasons one and two were partly due to the writers' and actors' strikes, but he reassured us that another huge gap isn't the plan. Fingers crossed! We can probably expect the main cast – Adam Scott, Britt Lower, and Patricia Arquette – to return. But the fate of some characters, like Mr. Drummond (played by Ólafur Darri Ólafsson), is a little more uncertain after his, um, *exit* in Season 2.
The Long and Winding Road to Season 3
So, yeah, the wait is on. But knowing Season 3 is in the works, and given the show's massive success, makes the wait a little more bearable. The mystery of Lumon and its employees isn't over by a long shot, so keep your eyes peeled for official announcements. We'll all be glued to our screens the second they drop!
