Apple TV+ has begun production on the third season of the series "Severance" in the U.S. [1, 2].
The announcement comes as fans seek a more consistent release schedule after a three-year gap [1] separated the first and second seasons of the psychological thriller.
Dan Erickson, the creator of the series, confirmed the news. "Season 3 filming has begun," Erickson said [1].
Production started in late July [2]. The move is intended to satisfy viewer demand for a quicker return of the show following the previous delays between installments [1, 2].
While the studio has not specified the exact filming locations within the U.S., the project is now officially underway [1, 2]. Lead actor Adam Scott said that more information would be available "very soon" [2].
Forbes editorial staff said that Apple has formally announced the start of production [2]. The series continues to be a flagship title for the streaming service as it expands its original programming slate.
“"Season 3 filming has begun."”
The decision to begin production shortly after the second season suggests Apple TV+ is attempting to maintain the show's cultural momentum. By reducing the time between seasons, the network avoids the audience attrition that often occurs during the multi-year hiatuses common in high-concept prestige television.
