Severance Season 3: What We Know So Far
The shocking Season 2 finale of Apple TV+'s hit show, Severance, left fans clamoring for more. While an official Season 3 renewal hasn't been announced, the overwhelming success—surpassing even Ted Lasso with 3 billion streaming minutes—makes it highly likely. This article breaks down the latest news and speculation surrounding the highly anticipated next season.
Ben Stiller Confirms Season 3 is in the Works
Executive producer and director Ben Stiller recently confirmed on the New Heights podcast that "we're working on season 3," offering hope that the three-year wait between seasons 1 and 2 won't be repeated. He even teased, "News is coming soon," adding to the already immense anticipation. The Hollywood Reporter further supports this with news of an active writers' room in Los Angeles.
What to Expect in Season 3
Creator Dan Erickson hinted at the future, promising "office drama, some existential themes, laughs, and creepy elements." The Season 2 cliffhanger, with Mark choosing to stay in Lumon with Helly instead of escaping with Gemma, leaves countless questions unanswered. Will they escape Lumon's clutches? What will happen to Gemma now that she's reunited with her Outie? Will we finally understand the full extent of Lumon's sinister experiments?
Release Date and Cast
The release date remains unconfirmed. Stiller attributed the delays between seasons 1 and 2 to the writers' and actors' strikes, but stated that another lengthy gap is "definitely not" the plan. While no official date has been set, we expect the main cast, including Adam Scott, Britt Lower, and Patricia Arquette, to return. However, the fate of certain characters, like Ólafur Darri Ólafsson's Mr. Drummond, is less clear following his demise in Season 2.
Conclusion: The Wait is On
Severance fans are in for a thrilling (but hopefully shorter!) wait. The overwhelming success of the show, coupled with the confirmation that work on Season 3 is underway, promises an exciting continuation. Keep an eye out for official announcements regarding the release date and further plot details. The mystery surrounding Lumon and its employees is far from over!
