Now, Severance has turn out to be the most well-liked present on the streaming platform, overtaking Ted Lasso on the platform’s ranked record (regardless that that collection was simply confirmed for Season 4).
With the recognition skyrocketing, Severance Season 3 was confirmed on the day the Season 2 finale got here out, and naturally, we’re all ready to listen to any information on it. Here’s what we all know to this point – and what you may stay up for.
What Is The Severance Season 3 Premiere Date?
On the time of scripting this, Severance Season 3 does not have a set premiere date, which isn’t that stunning because the Season 2 finale simply aired this month.
Nonetheless, we not less than have an concept of a timeframe of how lengthy we’ll have to attend for the subsequent season – and fortunately, it gained’t be practically so long as final time.
On the New Heights podcast with Travis and Jason Kelce, Severance govt producer/director Ben Stiller mentioned that there is not going to be as lengthy of a wait between Seasons 2 and three as there was with the primary season and the present season. So, fortunately, we gained’t be ready three years. Hopefully, meaning we’ll get one thing as quickly as 2026.
The Severance Season 3 Forged
Whereas nothing has been confirmed, there are a number of individuals within the Severance forged that we are able to count on to return simply based mostly on the cliffhanger of a finale Season 2 left us on. This contains:
- Adam Scott as Mark Scout/Mark S.
- Zach Cherry as Dylan George/Dylan G.
- Britt Decrease as Helena Eagan/Helly R.
- Tramell Tillman as Seth Milchick
- Jen Tullock as Devon Scout-Hale
- Dichen Lachman as Gemma Scout/Ms. Casey
- Michael Chernus as Ricken Hale
- Patricia Arquette as Concord Cobel
I did miss John Turturro and Christopher Walken as Irving Bailiff/Irving B. and Burt Goodman/Burt G, primarily as a result of their tales had been left up within the air in Episode 9. Nonetheless, we’ll get into that in only a bit.
Even so, I believe we’ll be seeing lots of the favored characters again subsequent season – particularly after the terrifying and unhappy cliffhanger with Gemma and Mark and Helly operating off to God is aware of the place.
What Will Severance Season 3 Be About?
Whereas there hasn’t been a lot revealed about Severance Season 3 but, the writers have given us bits and items of what we are able to count on. Here’s what we’ve heard:
Season 3 Will Have A A lot Totally different Tone
Season 2 of Severance certainly started to dive deeper into psychological thriller territory and moments that actually had us scratching our heads. Nonetheless, the most important second was on the very finish with that final shot of Mark and Helly operating down the hall, away from the exit. Ben Stiller spoke to IndieWire in March 2025, saying that the second is supposed to represent a turning level within the “tone” of the present:
I believe it’s form of signaling, ‘Hey, we’re going into a special tone right here now. We’re going into a special actuality for these individuals.’
With this in thoughts, there’s lots that this could result in.
Season 3 Will Dig Deeper Into Folks Uniting Towards Lumon In Solidarity
Season 2 dipped its toes into displaying what may occur when a number of factions of the severed ground at Lumon come collectively. And now, it appears like Season 3 may discover that.
Creator Dan Erickson talks with GQ in March 2025 in regards to the second Dylan G. stands with one other division of the severed ground in opposition to Milchick. It’s meant to point out that there’s extra solidarity starting to kind between the departments now, which is one thing that may hopefully be explored extra later.
Lumon is all about dividing and conquering on a person stage and on a higher stage. The severed ground itself is severed as a result of the totally different departments are discouraged from interacting. So, in the end, I wished this season to start to inform the story of what occurs when individuals who have been inspired to not come collectively begin to come collectively and uncover their collective energy.
The important thing phrase there may be ‘start,’ which I hope signifies that Season 3 will proceed to discover that state of affairs.
John Turturro Believes This Isn’t The Finish For Irv
As we talked about beforehand, it’s kind of up within the air proper now with regards to Irv’s destiny, in addition to Burt’s. We final noticed them within the practice station the place Burt despatched Irv on his option to escape Lumon, however we actually know nothing else of what occurs to him, and we don’t see both within the finale.
Nonetheless, in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in March 2025, John Turturro believes that this isn’t the tip of the story for Burt and Irv – it could possibly be if somebody wished it to finish, however he thinks there’s extra to inform:
If somebody wished the story to be full? It could possibly be! However I believe there’s a lot extra right here.
With that in thoughts, we would get some solutions to Burt and Irv’s destiny in any case in Season 3.
They Are Actively Writing The Third Season Now
The very last thing we all know is that whereas filming for Severance Season 3 hasn’t begun but (as a result of clearly), they’re actively engaged on it. In a complete forged and crew interview with The Hollywood Reporter in March 2025, Stiller confirmed that they’re “actively” within the author’s room proper now and “working” on Season 3.
I imply, that alone is price celebrating as a result of we’re lastly going to get some solutions quickly. I, for one, want them now.
What are you enthusiastic about in Severance Season 3? I do know the wait will probably be lengthy, however keep in mind—the work is mysterious and vital.
