- Quick Answer: Adam Scott confirms Severance Season 3 starts filming this summer, promising a faster release than the three-year gap between the first and second seasons.
Adam Scott has promised that fans won't need to wait longer for the release of the third season of the Emmy-winning series Severance.
It's been more than a year now since the second season finale aired, and fans have been patiently waiting for updates on the next season of the hit Apple TV series. Considering that the first and second seasons have a three-year gap, there is hope that the long wait will not happen again for the third season.
How Long Will Fans Wait for Severance Season 3?
In a recent red carpet interview at the BAFTA TV Awards (via Deadline), star and executive producer Adam Scott was asked for an update regarding the development of the third season of Severance.
While he didn't share when it could potentially air, he promised that the next season will start filming "very soon" and fans will not have to wait longer, unlike the second season.
"We’re always trying to shorten the amount of time between seasons, but it’s more important for it to be great than for it to be fast," Scott said. "We’re definitely planning on getting it out much sooner than the last round, which was three years, which is too long."
Previous reports have stated that the writing of the third season has been going on for the last few months, and there are plans to start filming this summer.
If they manage to finish filming the entire season without any delays, there is a possibility that the third season will air by late 2027, which will be a slightly shorter wait than the previous season.
For now, fans should stay tuned for news and updates regarding the third season in the coming weeks or months.
What to Expect in Severance Season 3
So far, the details regarding the third season of Severance are still under wraps, but it will continue the adventure and mystery surrounding Lumon Industries.
Kogonada, who directed episodes of Pachinko, is slated to become the main director/producing director of the third season when it begins filming.
Earlier this year, Apple Studios acquired the IP and rights to Severance from Fifth Season, the production company that developed and produced the series in the first two seasons.
As a result of this deal, moving forward, Apple will now be the show's main studio starting in the third season, with Fifth Season becoming an executive producer.
The studio is also mapping its franchise plan for the hit series. It is now set to have a four-season run, which is currently the main target of executive producers Ben Stiller and Dan Erickson.
