Viewers may just be getting into season two of Severance, but the show’s creator, Dan Erickson, is already thinking about season three. During a recent conversation with Ethan Shanfeld of Variety, Erickson said a lot of the show’s third season is “mapped out, but a lot could still change.”
“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. For Season 3, a lot is mapped out, but a lot could still change,” Erickson said.
In addition, Erickson hopes the gap between seasons two and three isn’t as large as it was between seasons one and two. The first season of the Apple TV+ series concluded in 2022 and season two was not released until 2024.
“I’d like to, although I didn’t think it would be three years for Season 2. 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,” 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.”
For now, fans will have to sit back and enjoy season two as the series enters the second episode of season 2 on January 24, 2025.
