Severance boss Ben Stiller teases future beyond season 2

Published 1 month ago5 minute read

Director Ben Stiller has teased the future of his critically-acclaimed series Severance.

The sci-fi drama follows employees of the secretive Lumon Industries, who have undergone a procedure to divide their consciousness between their work and personal lives. Their workplace persona is known as their 'innie' and their outside world persona is their 'outie'.

The second season landed a near perfect Rotten Tomatoes score from critics ahead of its release this week (January 17), with a third season reportedly already in the works.

In an interview with Radio Times, Stiller discussed the future of the series and teased some familiar faces in season three.

"Prominent actors and musicians have reached out, which is great," he said, when asked about the show's popularity. "I was recently talking with Al Pacino, who's a fan. It would be incredible to have him in the next season. Maybe I'll ask!"

Creator Dan Erickson confirmed that Severance's future has already been planned, but didn't disclose any details regarding its longevity.

"We've had the story pretty mapped out since we started," said Erickson. "But we don't want to say how many seasons; it needs to be tight and concise but have room to breathe."

He added: "We knew that series two was going to be coming out around the time the new President was to be inaugurated.

"One of the show's themes is the cult of personality, and how if you get enough people behind someone like Kier Eagan [founder of Lumon Industries] there's a reverence and almost a religiosity to it and we explore the dangers of that. It's relevant right now."
