What is Severance about?
Severance season 1 brought viewers into the utilitarian future where the company Lumon Industries has pioneered a procedure known as “severance” that physically alters employees' brains to completely divide their memories between their work life and personal life. At work, they’re “innies,” with no recollection of their families, personal life or hobbies. Once they leave, they’re “outies,” oblivious to everything that happens inside Lumon’s walls.
The series follows Mark Scout, a team leader who starts investigating strange happenings at the company after one of his coworkers disappears. As he delves further into the dark secrets of Lumon and grapples with the real world implications of his fractured identity, he begins to question what exactly he and his team actually do at Lumon Industries.
Apple teases new seasons of Severance, Silo, and more with first looks at WWDC
At WWDC 2024, Apple previewed new shows and movies coming to Apple TV+.
Has Severance been renewed for season 3 yet?
Severance was renewed for season 2 shortly after the show debuted in 2022, and it is not unreasonable to think that Apple will move quickly to renew it for a third season once the second season debuts next year. The series is arguably the biggest on the platform outside of Ted Lasso (which ended its run in 2023), and Apple will probably want season 3 to be in production as soon as possible to continue the series' momentum, so fans won’t have to wait another three years in between seasons.
