Apple has officially greenlit a third season of the acclaimed series *Severance*, directed by Ben Stiller and created by Dan Erickson. This sci-fi psychological thriller has solidified its position as the most popular show on Apple TV+, with the recently concluded second season breaking records as the streamer's most-watched series to date. For a detailed take on the latest season, be sure to read IGN's 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.” Star and executive producer Adam Scott also expressed his excitement, saying, “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.

Apple's official synopsis for *Severance* reads: "In *Severance*, Mark Scout (played by 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."

Unfortunately, there is no release date set for Season 3 yet. However, Ben Stiller reassured fans on the *New Heights* podcast hosted by Jason and Travis Kelce that there won't be another three-year wait like the one between Seasons 1 and 2. Stiller 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!” He also explained the delays, noting, “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.”
