Severance is undoubtedly the show of the moment. Not only does it dominate the online discourse, but viewers are coming up with wild theories about the plot and critics are praising it left and right.
Given the crazy amount of hype, it’s no wonder the show’s fanbase keeps growing.
Following a memorable marketing campaign, the series unveiled its second season in January 2025, after a long wait. Episodes are still rolling weekly, but viewers can’t help but speculate: will the show get a season 3? Given that all signs point to “yes,” you can breathe easy.
Severance Season 3 Release Date
Severance premiered in February 2022, so the hiatus between the first two seasons was considerable. Despite that, the show’s sophomore effort brought Severance to new heights. Now, it’s the most-watched series on Apple TV+, surpassing even beloved comedy Ted Lasso.
While season 2 is still ongoing at the time of writing, that level of popularity almost guarantees that Severance will come back for more.
Additionally, executive producer and director Ben Stiller told The Hollywood Reporter that a writers room for Severance season 3 is underway in L.A., and that “he hopes not to keep audiences waiting three years this time.” Fingers crossed.

What Will Happen in Severance Season 3?
At its core, Severance explores the dark side of work-life balance. The psychological thriller follows Mark, an employee at Lumon Industries who undergoes a controversial “severance” procedure that surgically divides his memories between work and personal life.
In other words, his “innie,” or work self, knows nothing of the outside world, while his “outie,” or personal self, has no idea about what goes on at work. Things get complicated when a former colleague approaches Mark with alarming revelations, so he starts to question the company’s true intentions.
As for what may happen in Severance season 3, we have absolutely no idea. For now, we can only wait to see how season 2 wraps and hope that the show will hint at what the future may bring. However, we expect Mark to continue to look into Lumon Industries and its many mysteries.
