Severance Season 3 receives an official update from Ben Stiller

Do not try to reintegrate now: This article contains spoilers for season 2 of “Severance”, including episode 4!

If you are completely locked in the second season of “Severance” but nervous that you may have to wait for another three endless years For the next installment, I have good news for you. In a recent profile in The Hollywood ReporterThe executive producer of the program, Ben Stiller, revealed that the work is already underway in a third season.

The piece affirms that a writer room is currently gathered and that Stiller “hopes not to keep the public waiting for three years this time”, which is definitely Welcome News for fans who need more of this Mysterious Trippy box show and layers that has become a phenomenon in Apple TV+. To be clear: Apple TV+ has not yet confirmed a third season for the program, but in the opinion of this writer, it is almost inevitable; “Severance” is a enormous Hit for Apple, and according to the marketing campaign they launched for season 2, which included a live delivery at the New York Central Grand Station that had important stars such as Adam Scott, Patricia Arquette and Britt Lower, the streamer is more that willing to keep investing in Stiller’s vision and the creator Dan Erickson.

It should be said that, just after the revelation that Stiller has already gathered a writers room for a possible season 3, Stiller said that Apple TV+ has given the creative team of the program much financial freedom despite difficult times in the industry of entertainment. “Everything changed long after the strike, for everyone, in terms of the way people look at budgets and expenses,” Stiller said. “For Apple’s credit, they remained on the path of what the program was, and they have supported it.” The head of programming at the streamer, Matt Cherniss, also called “Severance” an “incredible success story in all imaginable senses”, so all signs point to a renewal of season 3 … and fortunately, the Writers are already working hard.

In the same profile with THR, Ben Stiller addresses the fact that it is now one of the main creative forces behind what I already called a “mystery show”, a term that is probably familiar to fans of the beloved programs like ” Lost “or even Netflix’s little to be the success” Stranger Things “. Stiller, apparently, was not familiar with the verbage. “I had never heard the term mystery show until two years ago,” Stiller said. “They are like, ‘then you are doing a mystery’. I am like, ‘oh, yes, I am not prepared for this.’ But what I got from that was that people do not want to be carried by a path or be involved with a program Like this, there is always that question: ‘Do you know where they are going?’ “

Apparently, the show does Know where you are going: THR’s article mentions that the creator Dan Erickson, along with Stiller and the writers of the program, do Having a road map for the rest of the series narrative, which is a relief, because if you think that season 1 of “Severance” had wild turns and turns, it is nothing compared to season 2. Only in The first four episodes, the program has returned to the strange “goat room” seen for the first time last season (although we still do not do it completely I know what is happening there, except that the veteran of “Game of Thrones”, Gwendoline Christie, seems to be the one in charge), Mark S. of Adam Scott has suffered a potentially deadly procedure to merge his “innie” and the Real world “outie” known as reintegration, and an important revelation has come to light with respect to the dual characters of Britt Lower, Helena Eagan and Helly R.

If fans of “Severance” are not excited to hear that a new season is already in process, I really do not know what to tell them, because until now, the whole season 2 has done is continue to build and build a presumably incredible point. In the fourth episode of Bombshell of the season, entitled “Woe’s Hollow”, Mark S., Irving B. (John Turturro), Dylan G. (Zach Cherry) and “Helly R.” Everyone wakes up in their “Innie” cut in a frozen tundra, just to discover that their strange boss Seth Milchick (Trammell Tillman) has organized a kind of crazy country trip for the innies that focuses on Kier Eagan, the apparent religious icon and original lumon founder (the company for which everyone works).

Throughout the time, Ben Stiller, who directed the episode, masterfully builds the tension at an unbearable level to the climax of the delivery, when Irving B. finally forces the woman disguised as Helly R. to reveal that it is not a real Innie, but Kier’s heiress, Helena Eagan, masked like her own innocent Innie. Frankly, the best part of season 2 of “Severance”, which was worth the long wait! – It is that the program seems totally without fear of reaching the main milestones in the first episodes of the season itself, which is a good omen for future seasons. Based on the fact that Stiller, Dan Erickson and the rest of the team have a road map for the show and The fact that they are already working on more episodes, “Severance” will reach new and wild heights as it continues … so now we just have to wait for any renewal news and continue seeing season 2, which transmits new episodes to 9 PM Est on Apple TV+ Thursday night.
