Severances season 2 finale arrives this week, leading to a lot of questions about plans for season 3. Heres everything we know so far about Severances future on Apple TV+.Season 3 renewal announcement expected soonApple has not yet officially renewed Severance for a third season. But anyone not living under a rock knows that the season 3 announcement is just a matter of when, not if.Back when Severances first season aired, Apple TV+ announced the shows season 2 pickup just days before the finale. The streamer has followed that pattern with other shows too.It seems likely, then, that Apple will announce Severances season 3 renewal any day now. And who knows? We might even get a multi-season announcement like has happened for both Silo and Slow Horses before.Writers are working on Severance season 3 now, including a key additionLast month in a sit down with The Hollywood Reporter, Ben Stiller shared that Severance season 3 was underway and a writers room was actively working on the show in LA.Speaking of the shows writers, last spring Puck reported that Severances creative team had undergone a big shake-up.Due to reported conflicts between creator Dan Erickson and writer-producer Mark Friedman during Severances first two seasons, Ben Stiller recruited a key new hire.Matt Belloni wrote at Puck:Stiller interviewed several writer-producers to come in and beat out a third season before the likely WGA strike, and ended up quietly hiring Beau Willimon, the House of Cards creator who most recently worked on Disney+s fantastic AndorWillimon got a rich deal to come in for Season 3, but he quickly saw that help was needed on Season 2, with episode costs ballooning to the $20 million range. So for a few months now, Willimon has helped craft a back half of Season 2 and a template for Season 3, with the show being delayed significantly in the process.It sounds like, while Willimon made some significant season 2 contributions, its the upcoming season 3 where well see more of his influence play out.When to expect season 3 on Apple TV+Anyone whos followed Severance since its first season aired knows that the wait between seasons was long.Due to production issues, re-writes, and Hollywood strikes, nearly three years passed between Severances first and second seasons.So far, all we know about season 3s timing is that Ben Stiller says he hopes not to keep audiences waiting three years this time.Stiller and creator Erickson have shared before about their perfectionistic tendencies, so even if Severance season 3 doesnt encounter the same issues during production, its still unlikely well see the show return any time soon.Realistically, Severance season 3 will probably hit Apple TV+ in 2027with late 2026 being the absolute earliest we can hope for.Apple TV+ isavailable for $9.99 per monthand features hit TV shows and movies likeTed Lasso,Severance,The Morning Show,Silo, andShrinking.
