Adam Scott Teases What He Knows About Severance Season 3

"Oh, yes. I'm an executive producer on the show, so I'm involved in all of it. We talk with the writers and Dan [Erickson] all the time. I know everything about what's going on," Scott told Variety in a recent interview, "[As an actor] I like having as much information as possible."
And Scott has one thing to say about the third season, despite Ben Stiller no longer directing this time: "It's going to be great. There are so many surprises. I can't wait to shoot it."
Adding to the hype, Scott also recently confirmed to Deadline that filming for season 3 starts "very, very soon," with the production window slated to run through December 2026. While there are no specific plot points yet, he teased that "exciting new characters" are joining the Lumon universe, too.
Why Did Ben Stiller Leave the Director's Chair for Severance Season 3?
Fans of the show's distinct, sterile-yet-chaotic visual style might be worried about Ben Stiller stepping out of the director's chair for the upcoming season, but there is no need to panic.
The decision was purely logistical. Stiller has a packed production slate, specifically a feature film currently in the works, centered on a downed airman in occupied France during World War II. The filming window for this project overlapped directly with the production schedule for Severance season 3, making it impossible for Stiller to manage the director's chair for the series.
However, Stiller is far from checking out. He remains an active executive producer and has spent the last year in the trenches with showrunner Dan Erickson and the writing team, mapping out the entire arc for the third season.
"Time is valuable," Stiller said, which is why he and the showrunner planned out the entire season 3 so Stiller could still step away.
While he won't be calling "action" on set, his fingerprints and vision for the endgame are marked all over the new episodes.
