'Severance' creator shares big update about season 3

Between Severance seasons one and two, there was a gap of two years—much to the chagrin of the fans.

But creator Dan Erickson hoped season three would not take so much time.

“I didn’t think it would be three years for Season 2,” the maker added, before sharing the reason for the delay in the two seasons.

“We had COVID delays for Season 1 and strikes in Season 2, so I dare not speculate what’s going to happen for Season 3. In terms of the process of it, we’re always looking to streamline it,” the showrunner explained.

He continued, “The further we get along in the show, the more has been solidified. As we’re starting to think about Season 3, it’s a lot less blue-sky coming up with stuff than it was for Season 2."

"What’s already happened on screen has given us a clearer path forward. I do think the process is going to be faster, but now I’m looking for some wood to knock on.”

Dan also shared he already has planned the ending of Severance. “There is an endpoint for the series as a whole, and we know more or less how many seasons we are going to do, although that’s not totally solidified,” he concluded.
