"Apple Officially Renews Severance for Season 3"

Apple has officially greenlit the much-anticipated third season of the hit series *Severance*, confirming fans' hopes for more of the gripping sci-fi psychological thriller. Created by Ben Stiller and Dan Erickson, *Severance* has become the crown jewel of Apple TV+, with its second season breaking records as the platform'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, who is both a director and executive producer on the show, 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.”

Adam Scott, who stars as Mark Scout and serves as an executive producer, also expressed his excitement about returning for Season 3: “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.”

Apple's official synopsis gives a glimpse into the series' intriguing premise: "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."

Season 2 delved deeper into the consequences of tampering with the severance barrier, leading Mark and his colleagues further down a troubling path. The season introduced new series regulars Sarah Bock and Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, adding fresh dynamics to the already complex narrative.

While no specific release date has been announced for Season 3, Ben Stiller reassured fans during an appearance on Jason and Travis Kelce’s *New Heights* podcast that the wait won't be as long as the three-year gap between Seasons 1 and 2. "No, the plan is not to [wait three years]," Stiller stated. "Definitely not. Hopefully, we’ll be announcing what the plan is very soon. That will not be that!" He attributed the previous delay to a writers’ and actors’ strike and the extensive filming and editing process, which spanned 186 days for Season 2.

As fans eagerly await more news on *Severance* Season 3, they can delve into IGN's detailed breakdown of the Season 2 finale and how it sets the stage for the upcoming season.
