We’ll be returning to Lumon after all. Apple has officially given Severance season 3 the green light. More details below.
Just a day after Ben Stiller promised fans they wouldn’t have to wait for season 3 for too long, and mere hours after the season 2 finale dropped on AppleTV+, Severance has been officially renewed for another series.
The news doesn’t come as much of a surprise. Severance has consistently been one of AppleTV+’s most acclaimed, popular shows, and Ben Stiller – who’s producer and director – has been talking about the new season being in the works for quite some time now. And it seems as though Ben’s Outie is just as ready as his Innie for season 3.
“Making Severance has been one of the most creatively exciting experiences I’ve ever been a part of,” Stiller said in a statement. “While I have no memory of this, I’m told making season three will be equally enjoyable, though any recollection of these future events will be forever and irrevocably wiped from my memory as well.”
Creator Dan Erickson is thrilled to be digging into Lumon Industries more, too. “The idea of getting to make more Severance with the greatest cast and crew on Earth is more thrilling to me than all the world’s finger traps combined,” Erickson said. “I can’t wait to continue spreading woe, frolic, dread and malice with these truly incredible people.”
Apple CEO Tim Cook also took to X/Twitter to confirm the happy news. He seems rather cheery, despite the fact that Apple was reported to be losing $1bn annually on its streaming service.
After today’s mind-boggling, phenomenal finale for Severance season 2, we can’t wait to see what happens next. Stiller has already confirmed that a writer’s room is working on the next steps, but there’s no word on how long exactly it’ll take before we can get back to our desks at Lumon for season 3.
We’ll keep you posted, though.
