Great news for fans of the hit AppleTV+ series Severance! The big apple has decided to renew the series for a season 3. The news comes at the same time season 2 wrapped up.
Severance premiered in February 2022 and did not come back for three years but received a whopping 14 Emmy nominations for the first season. Employees that work for the company Lumon Industries that are working on highly classified projects, must undergo "severance"—a medical procedure that implants a device in their brain so that they do not remember their lives outside of work while clocked in. Once an employee clocks out, they do not remember details of their job. This results in two very dissimilar personalities for each employee: the "innie", who exists solely within Lumon, and the "outie", who lives their personal life outside of work.
Severed employee Mark must balance the challenges of managing his department, including the onboarding of a rebellious new innie, Helly, and when Lumon begins to intrude into his outie life things take a turn.
The series is created by Dan Erickson and executive produced and directed by actor Ben Stiller. It stars Adam Scott, Zach Cherry, Britt Lower, Tramell Tillman, Jen Tullock, Dichen Lachman, Michael Chernus, John Turturro, Christopher Walken, Patricia Arquette, and Sarah Bock.
Ben Stiller said in a statement, “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.”
Dan Erickson added in his own statement, “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. “I can’t wait to continue spreading woe, frolic, dread and malice with these truly incredible people.”
