Apple has officially announced the renewal of the critically acclaimed series *Severance* for a thrilling third season. The sci-fi psychological thriller, created by Ben Stiller and Dan Erickson, continues to captivate audiences 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. Dive into IGN's comprehensive review of *Severance Season 2* to get a deeper insight into the show's latest developments.
Ben Stiller, who has been instrumental in the show's success, shared his enthusiasm: “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.” His humorous take on the show's premise reflects the unique blend of drama and wit that *Severance* is known for.
Adam Scott, who stars as Mark Scout and also serves as an executive producer, expressed his eagerness to return: “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.” His playful request underscores the show's intriguing concept of memory division.
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 remains under wraps, Ben Stiller provided some reassurance during a recent appearance on Jason and Travis Kelce’s *New Heights* podcast. 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 delays experienced with Season 2, attributing them to a writers’ and actors’ strike and the extensive shooting and editing process, which spanned 186 days. He expressed gratitude for the audience's continued support upon the show's return.
