Fans of Severance may finally have some new updates about the show’s future. After a long wait between Season 1 and Season 2, many viewers have been wondering when Season 3 will begin filming.
According to Deadline, filming for Season 3 is expected to begin in summer 2026. While this is not an official production start date yet, it suggests that work on the next chapter is moving forward. If production begins in the summer, the show could return sometime in 2027.
The report also revealed something even bigger. Director and executive producer Ben Stiller and creator Dan Erickson are said to be planning for at least a four-season run. This means the team behind the show already has a long-term vision for the story.
Severance first premiered in 2022 on Apple TV+ and quickly became one of the platform’s most talked-about sci-fi dramas. The show follows employees at Lumon Industries who go through a special medical procedure. This procedure separates their work memories from their personal lives, creating two different identities — an “innie” at work and an “outie” outside the office.
The series stars Adam Scott as Mark, along with Patricia Arquette, John Turturro, and Christopher Walken.
Season 2 faced major delays and was released years after the first season. This time, the wait is not due to strikes or outside problems, but fans will still need patience.
At the moment, there is no official release date for Season 3 or Season 4. However, the idea of a four-season plan gives viewers hope that the story will continue in a clear and complete way.
For now, fans can rewatch earlier seasons while waiting for Lumon Industries to reopen its doors once again.
With a clear long-term plan and production expected to begin soon, it seems the creative team is taking careful steps to shape the next chapter properly. Given how complex and layered the story has become, a thoughtful approach may help maintain the show’s quality. While the wait may feel long for viewers, the promise of a structured four-season arc suggests that Severance is being built with a clear ending in mind rather than stretched unnecessarily.
