Apple has officially announced the renewal of the hit series Severance for a much-anticipated Season 3. Created by Ben Stiller and Dan Erickson, this sci-fi psychological thriller has solidified its position as the most popular show on Apple TV+. The recently concluded second season has set a new record as the most-watched series ever on the platform. To dive deeper into the latest season, be sure to check out IGN's comprehensive review of Severance Season 2.
Ben Stiller shared his enthusiasm, 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, expressed his excitement about returning for the new season: “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 an official release date for Season 3 has yet to be announced, Ben Stiller, during a recent appearance on the New Heights podcast hosted by Jason and Travis Kelce, reassured fans that the wait for the new season won't be as long as the three-year gap between Seasons 1 and 2. He said, “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!”
Stiller also provided insight into the production delays, 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."
