Severance appears to be undergoing significant creative changes heading into Season 3. Showrunners Chris Black and Mark J. Friedman, along with producer Amanda Overton and supervising producer Anna Ouyang Moench, will not be returning for the new season.
Series creator Dan Erickson and executive producer Ben Stiller are set to move forward with two new showrunners and an entirely new writers' room.
Season 3 writers' room consists of:
Dan Erickson – Executive Producer, Showrunner
Ben Stiller – Executive Producer
Mary Laws (Succession) – Executive Producer, Showrunner
Eli E. Jorne (The Walking Dead) – Executive Producer, Showrunner
Ezra Claytan Daniels (Doom Patrol) – Co-Executive Producer
Sean Clements (Kevin Can F*** Himself) – Co-Executive Producer
Lauren Bello (The Sandman) – Producer
Aiyana Kim White – Executive Story Editor
While there is still no official word on Season 3 being greenlit, Ben Stiller revealed in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter last month that they were assembling the writers' room and hoping to shorten the wait between the seasons. The gap between Season 1 and Season 2 stretched to three years, which felt especially torturous after that nerve-wracking Season 1 finale.
However, considering Stiller’s comments and the spike in audience numbers Severance gained during Season 2, I’m hopeful the wait this time will be much shorter — hopefully less than three years.
Severance Season 2 is now streaming on Apple TV+.
