"Apple Officially Renews Severance for Season 3"

Apple has officially announced the renewal of the critically acclaimed series "Severance" for a third season, solidifying 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 on the platform. For insights into the latest season, don't miss IGN's comprehensive review of "Severance" Season 2.

Ben Stiller, co-creator alongside Dan Erickson, 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 as Mark Scout and also serves as an executive producer, shared his excitement about returning for another 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," he said. "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 provides a glimpse into the show's gripping narrative: "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 confirmed release date for Season 3, Ben Stiller reassured fans on the New Heights podcast hosted by Jason and Travis Kelce that the wait won't be as long as the three-year gap between Seasons 1 and 2. "No, the plan is not to [wait three years]," Stiller said. "Definitely not. Hopefully, we’ll be announcing what the plan is very soon. That will not be that!" He explained the delays were due to a writers' and actors' strike, and the extensive shooting and editing process for Season 2, which took 186 days.
