Praise Kier! Severance has been renewed for season 3, which is just as well, given Friday’s event filled Season 2 finale — don’t worry, no spoilers here!
The show, Apple TV+’s most watched series, and the winner of numerous critical awards, focuses on Mark Scout (Adam Scott) who leads a team at the mysterious Lumon Industries, where 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 two welcomed new series regulars Sarah Bock and Ólafur Darri Ólafsson to the cast.
“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.”
The series hails from executive producer and director Ben Stiller and stars Emmy Award nominee Adam Scott, Britt Lower, Tramell Tillman, Zach Cherry, Jen Tullock, Michael Chernus, Dichen Lachman, Emmy Award winner John Turturro, Academy Award winner Christopher Walken, and Emmy and Academy Award winner Patricia Arquette.
The series is executive produced by Ben Stiller, who also directed five episodes this season in addition to directors Uta Briesewitz, Sam Donovan and Jessica Lee Gagné.
The complete first and second seasons of Severance are now streaming globally on Apple TV+.
