Get ready to return to the fluorescent halls of Lumon Industries—Severance is officially coming back for a third season! Hot off its record-breaking second season, the Emmy and Peabody Award-winning thriller has been renewed by Apple TV+ and shows no signs of slowing its momentum.
From the un-severed minds of director and executive producer Ben Stiller and creator/writer Dan Erickson, Severance has become a cultural obsession. With a stacked cast including Adam Scott, Patricia Arquette, John Turturro, and Christopher Walken, the series dares to ask: What if your work-life balance was enforced by brain surgery?
Season two left fans hanging on the edge of their ergonomic chairs, and season three promises more woe, frolic, dread, and malice (Dan Erickson’s words, not ours). The season also introduced new series regulars Sarah Bock and Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, and directors Uta Briesewitz, Sam Donovan, and Jessica Lee Gagné joined the roster alongside Stiller.
Spoilers Ahead:
The finale, titled “Cold Harbor,” delivered intense and emotionally charged moments that left fans eager for more. In this episode, Mark’s innie and outie personas collaborated to rescue Gemma, leading to significant revelations about Lumon’s operations and the true nature of the severance procedure. The episode masterfully blended suspense, heartfelt reunions, and unsettling discoveries, setting the stage for the upcoming season.

As Mark S. and his co-workers spiral deeper into the unsettling mysteries of Lumon, the line between work and self continues to blur—with even greater consequences.
Ben Stiller expressed his enthusiasm for the renewal, humorously noting, “While I have no memory of this, I’m told making season three will be equally enjoyable.” Lead actor and executive producer Adam Scott echoed this sentiment, jesting, “If you see my innie, please don’t mention any of this to him.” Erickson added, “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.”
Severance has garnered critical acclaim, earning 14 Emmy nominations and securing wins for Outstanding Music Composition and Outstanding Main Title Design. The series also received accolades from the Writers Guild of America and Screen Actors Guild, solidifying its status as a standout in contemporary television.
If you haven’t yet undergone the severance procedure, both seasons of Severance are now streaming on Apple TV+. Just don’t tell your innie what your outie is watching.
