Severancefans can rejoice.Ben Stiller, executive producer and frequent director of the series, has revealed some tantalizing details about the second season, which is slated to premiere on Apple TV+ on July 06, 2025. In aninterview with Collider, when asked with what details he’d like to tease viewers, Stiller had this to say:
Knowing how Season 1 ended, there were so many obviously big questions. We now have sort of opened up the world for the innies who have been on the outside world, so we felt like there was a responsibility to open up the story in that way and ratchet up the stakes and really dig into these relationships in terms of what Mark is dealing with in this very unique situation of the innie and the outie. The first season was so much about Mark trying to navigate this world, and then now realizing, having had his innie be on the outside world and learn this incredibly impactful thing about his wife, to follow up on that and that journey, to me it’s always been about Mark’s journey towards figuring out who he is.
Stiller was also asked about the potential for a Season 3 and even a Season 4. While he didn’t have specifics to share, Stiller did confirm that there are plans for moreSeverance, if the overarching story allows for it.
You have a responsibility to the audience that you’re going somewhere with it. That’s always been a part of it for us, really understanding where it’s heading to, and Apple’s been really supportive of that and been sensitive to what the story is and not saying, ‘Okay, this is something that has to keep going as long as it’s successful.’ It should go as long as the story goes, and that’s something we have an idea of and we’re working towards as we’re starting up our Season 3 work.
