Wondering if Severance will return for Season 3? With Season 2 wrapping up and questions swirling about the show’s future, fans are eager for any hint of what’s next. Recent comments, viewership milestones, and behind-the-scenes updates have fueled speculation.
So, here’s a breakdown of the latest facts and developments surrounding the status of Severance Season 3.
Is Severance Season 3 canceled or renewed by Apple TV+?
Apple TV+ has not officially announced the renewal of Severance for Season 3.
However, key indicators suggest a third season is in development. When asked about the wait between Season 2 and 3 on the New Heights podcast on March 19, 2025, Ben Stiller, executive producer and director of the series, confirmed, “No, the plan is not [to wait three years]. Hopefully, we’ll be announcing what the plan is very soon.” Season 2 concludes on March 21, 2025.
Stiller also appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live earlier this month, stating, “We know what the ending is…how we’re getting there is a creative process and we have benchmarks.” In a February 2025 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, he confirmed that a writers’ room for Season 3 is underway in Los Angeles. Prior to that, he told Collider in November 2024, “It should go as long as the story goes, and that’s something we have an idea of, and we’re working towards as we’re starting up our Season 3 work.”
The 2023 SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes delayed production on Season 2. The team shot the second season over 186 days, and it premiered in January 2025, three years after Season 1 debuted in February 2022.
Between January 17 and February 17, 2025, Severance became Apple TV+’s #1 series globally in viewership, surpassing all three seasons of Ted Lasso. (via Deadline)
In conclusion, the show’s success and the recent comments from the makers suggest a strong possibility of the third season happening. Now, it remains to be seen when the official announcement will come.
