Apple has officially greenlit the highly anticipated third season of the hit series *Severance*. Created by Ben Stiller and Dan Erickson, this sci-fi psychological thriller has become the crown jewel of Apple TV+, with its second season setting a record as the platform's most-watched series to date. Dive into IGN's comprehensive review of *Severance Season 2* to see our take on the latest developments.

Ben Stiller, reflecting on his experience, shared, “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 enthusiasm, 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 (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 a release date for Season 3 remains under wraps, Ben Stiller reassured fans during a recent appearance on the *New Heights* podcast hosted by Jason and Travis Kelce. He stated, “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 shed light on the production challenges, 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.”
