Preparations underway for Season 3 of "Severance"
The Highly Awaited Return of 'Severance': A Cliffhanger Resolution in 2025
In the world of television, not many second seasons have garnered as much anticipation as that of Severance. Since its debut in February 2022, the series has left fans craving more, especially after the jaw-dropping finale cliffhanger. With the usual wait for new episodes combined with the 2023 Hollywood strikes, we finally received confirmation in July that the Emmy-winning show would return to Apple TV+ in early 2025.
In a recent interview with IndieWire, one of the show's writers, Mohamad El Masri, hinted at a potential third season. Although Apple TV+ has yet to officially confirm Severance's third outing, given the show's initial success, it seems likely that the streamer will greenlight it eventually. El Masri revealed that the creative minds behind the series, including Dan Erickson (creator) and executive producer-director Ben Stiller, have already plotted out the series' full arc, including its ending.
El Masri pointed out that Erickson is known for his meticulous and detailed approach, and the writer emphasized that even during the production of season one, they were already discussing the show's future and its eventual ending. This careful planning explains the purpose behind even the show's quirkiest moments—yes, even those baby goats!—as the creative team places each puzzle piece thoughtfully.
While the fate of season three remains uncertain, we can look forward to the release of season two, which is set to premiere on January 17, 2025. The new season will consist of 10 episodes, with five directed by Ben Stiller. The official logline for season two suggests that Mark Scout (Adam Scott) and his team will face dire consequences after meddling with the severance barrier. The other members of the cast, including Britt Lower, Tramell Tillman, Zach Cherry, Jen Tullock, Michael Chernus, Dichen Lachman, John Turturro, Christopher Walken, Patricia Arquette, and some new additions such as Gwendoline Christie, Merritt Wever, and others, will accompany Scott throughout the season.
