Appearing on Jason and Travis Kelce’s New Heights podcast, Stiller said “No, the plan is not to [wait three years]. Hopefully we’ll be announcing what the plan is very soon.”

He added, “It took us a little bit to regroup, and the show, we shot for 186 days on season 2. Editing takes a while, but thank goodness the audience was there when we came back. The challenge was to get people who hadn’t seen the show to watch the first season, so Apple did a really good job of getting the word out and we did as much press as we could. Also, three years later, Apple TV+ is actually a different…it’s a different situation there now because they have more viewers. When we started out, we were one of the first shows.”

Given that the show has gone on to become one of the platform’s biggest series, we’d say that Stiller and the team have more than succeeded in spreading the word about what might well be one of our best-loved shows of all time.

While we’ve got some time to wait until Severance season 3, this news definitely bodes well for fans of the show. Watch this space!

Potential Severance season 3 cast

Given the storylines that we so desperately need answers to, we’d expect to see Adam Scott reprise his role of Mark Scout, with Britt Lower returning as Helly Riggs, Zach Cherry as Dylan George, John Turturro as Irving Bailiff, and Tramell Tillman as Seth Milchick.

We’d also likely see the following Severance cast members return for season 3:

• Patricia Arquette as Harmony Cobel
• Jen Tullock as Devon Scout-Hale
• Dichen Lachman as Ms Casey/Gemma Scout
• Michael Chernus as Ricken Hale
• Christopher Walken as Burt Goodman
• Sarah Bock as Miss Huang
