Ben Stiller shares update on 'Severance' season 3: Fans won’t have to wait as long this time

Fans of Apple TV+’s mind-bending thriller 'Severance' have been left stunned after the intense and shocking Season 2 finale. The show, praised for its complex storytelling and eerie dystopian themes, has gained a strong following. With Adam Scott, Britt Lower, and John Turturro leading the cast, Severance has maintained an impressive 96% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, proving its popularity.
After the dramatic conclusion of Season 2, viewers are eager to know when Season 3 will arrive. The wait between the first two seasons was long—nearly three years—which left fans anxiously speculating about what would happen next. However, Ben Stiller, the show’s producer and director, recently provided an update that may ease some concerns.
According to UNILAD, Stiller spoke with LADbible Group and reassured fans that they wouldn’t have to wait as long this time. He explained that the team is working as hard as possible to bring the new season to audiences as soon as they can. However, he also emphasized that the production process takes time because they want to ensure the show meets expectations. Stiller acknowledged the delays caused by external factors, including the Hollywood strikes, but remained optimistic about moving forward.
During the conversation, he also joked about another potential obstacle—a widely discussed asteroid—before series creator Dan Erickson humorously added that they were “monitoring it.”
Fans who were worried about another long break between seasons can now feel relieved. Stiller made it clear in a recent interview on This Morning that the goal is to avoid another three-year gap between seasons. While he didn’t provide a specific release date, his comments suggest that Season 3 could arrive sooner than many expected.
Despite the wait, dedicated Severance fans remain patient, knowing that the show’s unique and high-quality storytelling is worth it. Many believe the long production process is justified, as the second season delivered some of the most memorable episodes in television history. As one fan put it, the long gaps are frustrating, but the show’s quality makes the wait worthwhile.
