Apple has officially renewed Severance for season three, following a record-breaking second season. The workplace thriller continues its run as one of the most talked-about shows on streaming, and the full first and second seasons are now available to watch on Apple TV+.
Lumon Industries Isn’t Done Yet
Severance, created by Dan Erickson and directed by Ben Stiller, focuses on Mark Scout (played by Adam Scott) and a group of employees at Lumon Industries who undergo a procedure that separates their work and personal memories. In season two, Mark and his coworkers face consequences for breaking down the severance barrier, escalating the mystery behind their employer.
The show blends eerie corporate culture with psychological tension. While Apple hasn’t announced a release date for season three, production is confirmed.
Cast and Creators React to Severance Season 3 Renewal
“Making Severance has been one of the most creatively exciting experiences I’ve ever been a part of,” said executive producer and director Ben Stiller. “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.”
“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,” said star and executive producer Adam Scott. “Oh hey also — not a huge deal — but if you see my innie, please don’t mention any of this to him. Thanks.”
“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,” said creator, writer and executive producer Dan Erickson. “I can’t wait to continue spreading woe, frolic, dread and malice with these truly incredible people.”
“What Ben, Dan, Adam and the talented cast and crew behind Severance have brought to the screen is undeniable magic,” said Matt Cherniss, head of programming for Apple TV+. “We’re so proud to be the home for this brilliant series and look forward to audiences experiencing what’s in store for season three.”
Cast and Creators Return
The main cast returns for the next chapter, including Adam Scott, Britt Lower, Tramell Tillman, Zach Cherry, Jen Tullock, Michael Chernus, Dichen Lachman, John Turturro, Christopher Walken, and Patricia Arquette.
New regulars Sarah Bock and Ólafur Darri Ólafsson joined in season two and are expected to continue.
Behind the scenes, Stiller directs five episodes in season three. Erickson continues as writer and executive producer alongside a large team that includes Scott and Arquette in dual roles as actors and producers.
