The story of Severance is mysterious and vital, and fairly actually, I didn’t assume it’d develop past what is taken into account one among Apple TV+’s greatest exhibits. Nevertheless, after Season 2’s exceptional run on the 2025 TV schedule, Ben Stiller has revealed that they’ve “two particular concepts” for spinoffs. So, meaning I’ve give you theories concerning what they might be about.
What Ben Stiller Mentioned About Severance’s Doable Spinoffs
There are a bunch of questions concerning what’s going to occur throughout Season 3 of Severance. Throughout an interview with Selection, Ben Stiller and Adam Scott wouldn’t actually reply any of them, understandably. Nevertheless, when requested in the event that they noticed the collection turning right into a franchise, the director shocked me by revealing:
There are two particular concepts — that I received’t inform you — that we’ve talked about internally as potential spinoff concepts.
Frankly, I by no means thought Severance would transcend Severance. So, it’s thrilling to know that there are concepts being thrown round for spinoffs, even when they’re within the early early levels of formation or “nascent,” as Stiller put it.
He clearly wouldn’t reveal these concepts both, nonetheless, after studying that there are potential spinoffs being kicked across the severed ground, I’ve give you two concepts myself.
My Two ‘Particular’ Concepts For Potential For Severance Spinoffs
Whereas watching the primary two seasons of Severance with my Apple TV+ subscription, I’ve had moments the place I’ve thought of how a lot I’d like to study extra about varied elements of Lumon. There’s a lot lore, historical past and complexity relating to this firm, and that’s the place each my spinoff concepts stem from:
1. A Prequel Sequence About Lumon’s Founding
As we’ve realized in varied episodes of Severance, the Lumon lore and the Kier household historical past are wild. Episodes like “Woe’s Hole” gave us some loopy perception into the founders of this firm and the household Helena grew up in. We additionally know that whereas Lumon is a biotech firm of kinds, it additionally has cult-like tendencies (i.e., the Waffle Celebration).
Nevertheless, with each piece of data we achieve, I wind up with extra questions.
I need to know the way Lumon ended up this fashion and why the Keir household based this firm within the first place. We all know this company has been within the household for generations, and each the household and a few staff worship their founder in a really intense, virtually non secular manner. So, there’s numerous story to mine there. Subsequently, let’s run a derivative all the best way again to the start to learn the way on Earth this household wound up with a lot creepy energy and affect.
Ever since we noticed the goats in Severance for the primary time, I’ve been curious concerning the division often called Mammalians Nurturable. I need to know extra about why Gwendoline Christie’s character, Lorne, is so linked to the animals. I need to know why their workplace is rolling inexperienced hills below fluorescent lights. And I nonetheless have questions on what the aim of the goats even is.
I might see a complete spinoff about this division that’s mainly separate from Severance, and I’d like it.
I’d additionally take exhibits about Choreography and Merriment or Optics and Design. All the varied departments of Severance are so deeply distinctive and mysterious that they deserve their very own tales, and that might be achieved with a derivative.
General, I feel the world of Severance is wealthy sufficient to warrant no less than two spinoffs, and I feel each of those could be cool. Nevertheless, I’m optimistic that no matter Ben Stiller and co. take note of is best, so right here’s hoping that sometime we’ll discover out what their particular concepts are and so they’ll flip into upcoming Apple TV+ initiatives.
