When Will Severance Season 3 Premiere?

Patience may not be a Lumon virtue, but Severance fans have mastered the art of waiting. While there’s no official release date yet, there’s hope that Season 3 won’t take as long as the three-year gap between the first two seasons.

Ben Stiller Reflects on the Creative Thrills of Severance

Ben Stiller shared how making Severance has been one of the most creatively exciting experiences of his career. He’s clearly hooked on the unique world they’ve built, and it’s only getting better.

With the show’s premise of divided work and non-work personas in mind, Stiller humorously added, “Any recollection of these future events will be forever and irrevocably wiped from my memory.” Classic Severance—always keeping things unpredictable!

The Plot of Severance Unfolded

Severance follows Mark Scout, played by Adam Scott, who undergoes a procedure to split his work and personal life. His “innie” works for the shady biotech company Lumon, while his “outie” grieves the loss of his wife.

As Mark navigates his dual existence, the true nature of Lumon and its severance procedure slowly unravels. Things aren’t as simple as they seem, and dark secrets lie beneath the surface.

The Star-Studded Cast of Severance

Severance boasts an incredible ensemble cast led by Adam Scott, with standout performances from Britt Lower, Tramell Tillman, Zach Cherry, and Jen Tullock. The series also features talent like Michael Chernus, Dichen Lachman, John Turturro, Christopher Walken, and Patricia Arquette.

Season 2 welcomed Sarah Bock and Ólafur Darri Ólafsson as series regulars, adding fresh energy to the mix. The show also had surprise guest spots, including Keanu Reeves as the voice of the Lumon building in an animated video.

Severance: A Recap of Seasons 1 & 2

In Season 1, Mark and his coworkers—Helly, Dylan, and Irving—start a rebellion against Lumon by discovering how to awaken their “innie” selves in the outside world. Their goal is to break free from the control and secrecy that keeps their work lives and personal lives separate.

Season 2 dives deeper into their journey as they confront the disturbing truths about their lives outside the office. With the stakes higher than ever, they struggle to navigate the consequences of what they’ve uncovered, all while still trapped in Lumon’s grip.

Season 3 in the Works

Creator Dan Erickson teased that “a lot is mapped out” for Season 3, and there’s a clear endpoint in mind for the series. Fans can rest easy knowing the story has a planned direction, with a rough idea of how many seasons are left.

Ben Stiller also confirmed at PaleyFest that writing for Season 3 is already underway. “We’re in the room and working on it,” he shared, offering hope that the next chapter is closer than we think.

Who Will Return for Season 3?

While no official casting announcements have been made yet, it’s safe to assume that many major players will return for Season 3. Expect Adam Scott, Britt Lower, Zach Cherry, Tramell Tillman, Dichen Lachman, and Patricia Arquette to reprise their roles, as their storylines are far from over.

The fate of Irving and Burt, played by John Turturro and Christopher Walken, has sparked major fan speculation. After Burt sent Irving away in Season 2’s penultimate episode, fans are dying to know what’s next for them.

Adam Scott Can’t Wait to Return to Severance

Adam Scott is pumped to be back for Season 3, sharing his excitement about working with Ben, Dan, the cast, and the whole team. He joked, “Oh hey also — not a huge deal — but if you see my innie, please don’t mention any of this to him. Thanks.”

Looks like Scott’s ready for more Severance shenanigans—let’s hope his innie isn’t listening!
