Will there be ‘Severance’ season 3?

We, as consumers of television, are understandably insatiable. After all, Severance is hands-down the best American TV show of a generation. There are many mysteries to solve. Season 2 made intense headway into solving some of those mysteries, but there are still too many unanswered questions. We demand a resolution. We demand season 3. But will we get it?

The way Severance seems to be arcing itself, I’d wager that season 3 will likely be the show’s last. Which is sad, because Severance rules, but it’s definitely a good thing. We don’t want a Lost-sized mess on our hands. Fortunately, the crew behind Severance seem to be very meticulously crafting their narrative.

Which brings us to the likelihood of season 3. I have some good news.

Yes, Severance season 3 will be happening

Apple TV+ has officially confirmed that Severance will return for season 3. It’s no surprise that such a smash-hit series would be renewed.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in February, executive producer and director Ben Stiller revealed there’s already a writers room dedicated to season 3. Somewhere in Los Angeles, a group of writers are already writing the next season.

Stiller feeling comfortable enough to say this publicly also means we likely won’t be subjected to another three-year-long wait between seasons again. Stiller ensured The Hollywood Reporter that the latter point was important to the Severance team.

Furthermore, Apple knows full well they have a cultural phenomenon on their hands. Apple loves Severance so much that Apple CEO Tim Cook personally appeared in an ad for season 2. Severance is Apple TV+’s biggest show, except maybe for Ted Lasso, which currently has three seasons (though a fourth is on the way).

Severance wants a third season, and Apple TV+ has just given it to them.
