Veteran actor and director Ben Stiller confirms Severance Season 3 is in development in addition to teasing Season 2 in a recent interview. Stiller spoke with Collider about all his upcoming projects including acting work on Happy Gilmour 2 and his documentary he’s making about his actor/comedian parents.
However, Stiller is also the director an Apple’s Severance and Season 2 is coming fairly soon. Stiller managed to casually drop in the fact work on Severance Season 3 has already begun. He would not say too much about Season 2, but did tease a little of what to expect. Check it out.
“Knowing how Season 1 ended, there were so many obviously big questions. We now have sort of opened up the world for the innies who have been on the outside world, so we felt like there was a responsibility to open up the story in that way and ratchet up the stakes and really dig into these relationships in terms of what Mark is dealing with in this very unique situation of the innie and the outie. The first season was so much about Mark trying to navigate this world, and then now realizing, having had his innie be on the outside world and learn this incredibly impactful thing about his wife, to follow up on that and that journey, to me it’s always been about Mark’s journey towards figuring out who he is.”

Stiller went on to confirm Severance is planned to have an ending. They don’t want it to just keep going until it get’s cancelled for losing popularity. It was here Stiller confirmed they are working on Severance Season 3.
“Yeah, I think it’s very important. You have a responsibility to the audience that you’re going somewhere with it. That’s always been a part of it for us, really understanding where it’s heading to, and Apple’s been really supportive of that and been sensitive to what the story is and not saying, “Okay, this is something that has to keep going as long as it’s successful.” 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 3 work.”
Of course there is no way to know yet whether Season 3 is the end? Or, if there will be a Season 4 or more to wrap up the story? What we can at least confirm is that the show will not end with Season 2 when it hits Apple TV. Severance Season 2 premieres on 17 January, 2025.
