Severance Production Set to Begin in July as Views Close Gap with Pluribus
In an interview, John Turturro said production on Severance Season 3 will begin this July, giving fans fresh confirmation that the series is moving forward after months of uncertainty. That news sent viewers back to Apple TV, bolstering the show's numbers and narrowing the lead held by Pluribus.
For years Severance was Apple TV’s biggest sci‑fi show, but Pluribus — from Vince Gilligan and starring Rhea Seehorn — overtook it last year; Ben Stiller marked the milestone on his personal X account while work continued on Season 3. Plot details for Season 3 remain tightly guarded, though it is expected to pick up shortly after Season 2.
With filming set to begin this summer, it is still too early to predict a release date; Ben Stiller had promised the gap between Seasons 2 and 3 would be shorter, but that timeline is becoming harder to keep. On Apple TV overall, Shrinking is currently the most popular series after debuting its third season and already being renewed for a fourth.
