Production Weekly has confirmed that production on season three is officially scheduled to take place from April to December 2026. The series is expected to premiere on Apple TV+ as early as June 2027, although a September launch remains possible based on the company’s previous release models.
The show was first announced on social media platform This was later confirmed by 9to5Mac on December 4, 2025.
The second season of “Severance” ended with great fanfare, receiving a 94% rating and an average of 9/10 on the popular review site Rotten Tomatoes, which placed it in numerous “best of 2025” rankings, including those from Entertainment Weekly and IGN, fueling high expectations and demand for information about the series’ sequel.
9to5 Mac sources noted that scripts for the new season were recently finalized and that public comments from series star Patricia Arquette suggested a start of filming no later than spring 2026.

What people say
The review site Rotten Tomatoes has published several quotes about season 2 of Severance from film critics such as Jeremy Mathai and Lauren Sarner.

Even though 2025 is young, there’s no doubt that Severance will end up on most ‘best shows of the year’ lists and be a serious awards contender again.”
