Quick Summary
One of Severance's executive producers has hinted that the show will continue beyond its forthcoming second season.
A third season is being planned for at the very least.
There's some great news for fans of Apple TV+ and, in particular its sci-fi output – Severance season 2 is highly unlikely to be its last.
Returning to the streaming service on 17 January 2025, the mystifying show will answer some of the questions posed during its initial run, but it seems there will be plenty of other quandaries left hanging.
Thankfully, that simply means we'll get even more of one of the best shows on the platform – sci-fi or no. Indeed, one of its co-executive producers has nigh-on confirmed at least one additional season is to come: "There was always a thinking ahead to future seasons," said Mohamed El Masri to IndieWire, when talking about the creation of the forthcoming new series.
“Even in season 2, we were talking about, what is the end game and how does this show end? A lot of work was talking about that."
Apple is yet to commission a third season, but considering much of the second will set up new plot strands, it'd be crazy not to. And let's not forget that Severance season 1 scored 97% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes – there are equally high hopes for its sequel.
Of course, nothing is guaranteed. Apple is not beyond scrapping a show everybody expects to continue. Time Bandits, for example, never made it beyond the first season, nor did Constellation. While a third season of Schmigadoon! was already written before it too was ditched.
Still, Apple TV+ has had far more success stories in its relatively short lifespan, than flops. And something tells us that Severance – one of its original breakthrough shows – will continue to be in the left-hand column.
