Severance is one of the biggest Apple TV+ hits, yet it took almost three years for its season 2 return. Ben Stiller, one of the major creative forces on the show, says that shouldnt happen again as season 3 is already underway.Writers room currently working on Severances next seasonRebecca Keegan writes at The Hollywood Reporter:Apple has yet to officially confirm a third season of Severance, but Stiller says there is a writers room underway in L.A. and that he hopes not to keep audiences waiting three years this time. Hollywood budgets have tightened since Apple greenlit the show, but Stiller expects to keep Severance moving forward with the same polish. Everything changed a lot after the strike, for everyone, in terms of the way people are looking at budgets and spending, Stiller says. To Apples credit, they stayed on track with what the show was, and theyve supported it.Apples lack of official renewal for Severance isnt anything to be concerned about.The existence of an active writers room for Severance season 3 is a good sign, to start.More than that, though, Severance is one of the only Apple TV+ series to truly go mainstream. Apple no doubt plans to continue renewing it until the story reaches its end.Its common for Apple to announce season renewals near the end of one seasons run. Fortunately, we still have quite a bit of Severance season 2 to enjoy in the weeks ahead. Expect that official renewal to drop some time in March near the episode 10 finale.Meanwhile, its nice that Stiller acknowledges an intent to release season 3 with less of a gap between seasons. However, as Stiller and creator Dan Erickson recently indicated, their perfectionism doesnt always pair well with strict deadlines.While I certainly hope to see Severance season 3 arrive before 2028, if the shows creative team can keep maintaining quality at a high level, it will be worth whatever wait we have to endure.Apple TV+ isavailable for $9.99 per monthand features hit TV shows and movies likeTed Lasso,Severance,The Morning Show,Silo, andShrinking.Best iPhone accessoriesAdd 9to5Mac to your Google News feed.
