Fans of the acclaimed Apple TV series “Severance” are curious about the upcoming season. The show gained significant recognition since its first season in 2022 and has a dedicated following eagerly awaiting its third installment.
“Severance” Season 3 Release Date: Anticipated Timeline
In March 2025, “Severance” was officially renewed for its third season. While no exact premiere date has been confirmed, it is speculated that season 3 could debut in 2027. This prediction is based on the historical timeline of the show’s production.
Filming for season 3 is set to commence this year. Typically, the series has followed a pattern where each season releases a year after wrapping up filming. Season 1 finished shooting in 2021 and premiered in 2022, while season 2 filmed in 2024 and was released in 2025. If season 3 adheres to this schedule, a 2027 release seems plausible.
Insights from Ben Stiller
Ben Stiller, the executive producer and director of “Severance,” provided some insights during a November 2025 appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.” He hinted that fans can expect the next season to arrive “soon-ish.” Stiller acknowledged the show’s popularity and the high anticipation from viewers, humorously noting that while they have produced 19 episodes in over five years, other shows like “Young Sheldon” have completed significantly more.
