It’s time to clock back into work at Lumon.
Shortly after the season two finale of Severance aired on March 21, Apple TV+ revealed that the series has officially been renewed for season three.
And while details of the next installment are still under wraps, Ben Stiller—who directed multiple episodes of Severance, in addition to taking on the role of executive producer—is confident that he and creator Dan Erickson will make it well worth the wait.
“Making Severance has been one of the most creatively exciting experiences I’ve ever been a part of,” the Zoolander star said in a March 21 press release before quipping, “While I have no memory of this, I’m told making season three will be equally enjoyable, though any recollection of these future events will be forever and irrevocably wiped from my memory as well.”
But Ben isn’t the only one excited to reunite with his innie. Adam Scott (who plays severed employee Mark) also emphasized that he was looking forward to returning to the severed floor.
“I couldn’t be more excited to get back to work with Ben, Dan, the incredible cast & crew, Apple and the whole Severance team,” the Parks and Recreation alum, who also serves as executive producer, shared in the release. “Oh, hey also—not a huge deal—but if you see my innie, please don’t mention any of this to him. Thanks.”
As for when season three will hit TV screens? Ben previously hinted that fans won’t have to wait three years for the upcoming installment, as was the case for season two due to the SAG-AFTRA and Writers Guild of America strikes.
“No, the plan is not to [wait three years],” he said during a March 19 appearance on Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce‘s New Heights podcast. “Hopefully we’ll be announcing what the plan is very soon.”
And Ben was willing to shed further insight into the future of the show, which also stars Britt Lower (Helly), Patricia Arquette (Harmony Cobel), John Turturro (Irving), Dichen Lachman (Gemma), Tramell Tillman (Mr. Milchick), Zach Cherry (Dylan) and Christopher Walken (Burt).
In fact, the 59-year-old—who directed 11 of the 19 total episodes in seasons one and two—shared that the crew behind the sci-fi drama already started mapping out how the story will unfold.
“You have a responsibility to the audience that you’re going somewhere with it,” he told Collider in a November interview. “That’s always been a part of it for us, really understanding where it’s heading to.”
Ben added, “It should go as long as the story goes, and that’s something we have an idea of, and we’re working towards as we’re starting up our season three work.”
