The Severance Season 2 finale of course ended things on a bit of a cliffhanger, with Innie Mark Scout and Helly running through the halls of the of the severed floor of Lumon as the alarms continue to sound. Of course that makes it natural to wonder: will there be a third season of Severance? Here’s what we know so far.
Has Severance been renewed for Season 3?
As of the Severance Season 2 finale on March 21, 2025, the popular series has not been renewed for a third season. That being said, I think it’s safe to assume the show inevitably will be. Heading into the finale, Severance Season 2 had reached over 3 billion streaming minutes, a massive milestone for any streaming show. According to Apple TV+, it has become the platform’s most popular show even surpassing Ted Lasso in terms of unique viewers.
Critically, Season 1 of Severance had impressive ratings but Season 2 has managed to achieve even higher scores, with the Metacritic average of Season 2 sitting at 86 at the time this article was written, three points higher than Season 1.
For those looking for any other sort of clues of renewal, we can take the words directly from Severance Director and Executive Producer Ben Stiller himself. In a podcast called New Heights with the Kelce brothers (yeah, for real), Stiller stated that the plan is “definitely not” for Season 3 to have a three-year wait until it releases as the second season did. Of course, that would infer there is indeed a Season 3. Stiller also went on to say “Hopefully we’ll be announcing what the plan is very soon.” which may indicate that an official renewal from Apple is imminent.
Of course, you can never know, but with a show as calculated as Severance that has become a global success, not to mention fostering a massive fanbase, you’d have to assume that Apple would intend to end things with some sort of resolution rather than the semi-cliffhanger we got from the Severance Season 2 finale. Hopefully, we get official news of a Season 3 renewal soon!
