Exciting Update on Severance Season 3: What You Need to Know!
After the thrilling announcement of Severance Season 3 renewal last March, fans of the acclaimed sci-fi drama are buzzing with anticipation for its next installment. In a recent development, it has been confirmed that executive producer Ben Stiller will not be directing Season 3, marking a significant change since the show’s debut in 2022. This news comes on the heels of Stiller receiving two Emmy nominations for his outstanding work on the previous season, including the prestigious Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series.
Why Isn’t Ben Stiller Directing Season 3?
In an enlightening interview with the Los Angeles Times, Stiller shared that he won’t be returning as director for Season 3 as he is set to focus on a new project—a World War II survival movie, which is expected to begin production this spring. This marks Stiller’s return to feature film directing after nearly a decade, following his work on Zoolander 2.
Stiller’s Continued Involvement in Severance
Despite stepping down as director, Stiller reassured fans of his ongoing commitment to Severance as an executive producer. He expressed his excitement for the upcoming season, stating, “Yes! It’s been full time the last 8 months working on season 3 and I’m not going anywhere. We have incredible directors and a team that creates the show,” he shared on X (formerly Twitter). Stiller is confident that Season 3 will be the best yet, emphasizing the show’s evolution and growth.
What to Expect in Season 3
The workplace thriller, created and written by Dan Erickson, continues to receive support from a talented team, including Stiller and lead star Adam Scott as executive producers. Returning cast members include Britt Lower, Tramell Tillman, Zach Cherry, Jen Tullock, Michael Chernus, Dichen Lachman, John Turturro, Christopher Walken, and Patricia Arquette. Season 3 will also introduce new faces such as Sarah Bock, Bob Balaban, Robby Benson, Stefano Carannante, Gwendoline Christie, Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, John Noble, Alia Shawkat, and Merritt Wever.
