What to Expect from Season 3 of Severance: Insights from Dan Erickson

Today, we’re diving deep into the world of Severance—and for good reason. The highly anticipated second season just concluded with a gripping finale, a culmination of nearly three years of storytelling. Additionally, excitement is in the air as a third season has officially been announced. We had the privilege to speak with the show’s creator, Dan Erickson, making it essential to cover all the latest developments in the Lumon universe before the next season arrives.

What Could Season 3 of Severance Look Like?

In an exclusive interview with Rolling Stone, Erickson shared intriguing insights about the potential direction of Season 3, especially in light of the dramatic events that unfolded at the end of Season 2. Spoiler alert: We’re delving into some major plot twists!

The Season 2 Finale: Major Changes Ahead

The conclusion of Season 1 witnessed our four main characters defying Lumon’s authority. The premiere of Season 2 brought them back, but the narrative takes considerable time to explain how and why things reset. Following the finale of Season 2, the remaining innies—Mark, Helly, and Dylan—rebel once again. However, this time their act of defiance is on a much grander scale. They expose one of Lumon’s biggest secrets, involving Cold Harbor and the abduction of Gemma Scout, while Mark takes drastic action against an executive, Mr. Drummond. The question arises: how can Season 3 possibly depict these characters returning to work after such monumental events?

Will Season 3 Follow the Same Format?

Interestingly, when asked about this recurring pattern, Erickson hinted at a potential shift in the show’s formula. He stated, “We like to blow up the formula at the end of each season and see if we could bring it back.” While he refrained from detailing what Season 3 would entail, he did imply a desire to elevate the stakes even further. This leads to a compelling question: “Can the series maintain its existing format, or will it need to transform into something entirely new?”

What’s Next for Severance Fans?

While it’s unclear exactly what Season 3 will entail, we have complete faith in Erickson and the show’s creative team. The excitement surrounding the announcement of Season 3 has us hopeful for its swift arrival!
