Apple TV+ has confirmed the renewal of its dark, surrealist series “Severance” for a third season. The news comes after the release of the second season’s finale and follows an uncertain past when star Adam Scott and executive producer Ben Stiller feared the show might not get made.
In 2020, the show was set to start production on its first season in March but was halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite this setback, the show’s creators managed to complete two seasons, with Adam Scott describing it as a “fluid” process that allowed them to make adjustments and improvements throughout.
When asked about their approach to Season 2, Ben Stiller stated that the process is constantly evolving, with the team continuously reviewing and refining their work. The strike also provided an opportunity for editing during the downtime, which ultimately benefited the show’s production.
Adam Scott initially doubted whether they would be able to complete a third season but credits the long delay as beneficial in the long run. Stiller expressed relief that the uncertainty surrounding the show’s fate was resolved, allowing them to move forward with new ideas and adjustments.
The renewal of “Severance” is a testament to the show’s success and its ability to adapt and thrive amidst challenges. With its unique blend of dark humor and social commentary, the series has captivated audiences and critics alike.
