Severance cast reunites at Televerse Festival amid season 3 production delay
Adam Scott, Britt Lower, Tramell Tillman, Zach Cherry, John Turturro, and Patricia Arquette appeared together on the red carpet at the Television Academy's inaugural Televerse Festival, held Saturday (August 16) at JW Marriott LA Live in Los Angeles. Series director Ben Stiller and creator Dan Erickson also joined the event, sparking excitement among fans eager for any hint of progress on the show's future.
Despite the high-profile reunion, Apple TV+ executives have confirmed that filming for season three has not yet begun. Head of programming Matt Cherniss told Variety last month that while development is moving forward, a production start date has not been set. The series previously faced a three-year gap between its first two seasons.
'No one wants another three-year wait,' Cherniss explained. 'I don't believe we have a start date yet, but we're moving in that direction.'
Adam Scott also recently revealed on Amy Poehler's 'Good Hang' podcast that filming season two took nearly 186 days, highlighting the demanding production schedule. Some episodes stretched to six weeks of shooting, as the show films multiple installments simultaneously.
While fans celebrated the reunion, speculation remains about which cast members will return and how long the wait for new episodes will be. With its growing acclaim and intense fan interest, Severance season three is one of Apple TV+'s most anticipated projects.

Ben Stiller balances Severance season 3 with new film projects
Ben Stiller is preparing for a busy year as he balances directing, producing, and a return to acting. The Emmy-winning director of Apple TV+'s Severance has been working closely with showrunner Dan Erickson and the writing team on season 3 while also developing several new projects. One of his next ventures is Focker-in-Law, a sequel to the hit comedy franchise that began with Meet the Parents. Stiller, now older than co-star Robert De Niro was during the original film, admits he feels some nerves about returning to acting after years behind the camera. Alongside the comedy, Stiller is pursuing more dramatic material, including a feature film about a downed airman in occupied France who joined the French Resistance, as well as an adaptation of Rachel Maddow's Bag Man podcast, which investigated the bribery scandal of former vice president Spiro Agnew. His creative drive is also shaped by personal reflection. Following the death of his father, comedian Jerry Stiller, in 2020, Stiller began developing a documentary about his parents, Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara, a beloved comedy duo whose marriage influenced his own perspective on family. He acknowledges parallels with his relationship with actress Christine Taylor, with whom he reconciled after a brief separation. Stiller's children, Ella and Quinlin, have both entered acting, with Ella recently making her off-Broadway debut. Watching her perform, Stiller says, reminded him of his parents' early support during his own career. Looking ahead, Stiller is open to new collaborations — even hinting that his acting idol Al Pacino could one day appear in Severance. For Stiller, time feels more valuable than ever, and he intends to use it pursuing projects that matter both professionally and personally.

Adam Scott reflects on career and preparation for 'Severance' role as Apple TV+ drama earns Emmy success
Adam Scott has reflected on his career and his leading role in Severance, the Apple TV+ series that has earned widespread acclaim. Speaking to CBS News, Scott said taking on the part of Mark in the drama required a complete commitment. 'I knew that I would have to give all of myself to it in order to pull it off,' he explained. For Scott, who built his career on roles in films such as The Aviator and comedies including Step Brothers, as well as ensemble television shows like Parks and Recreation and Party Down, Severance marked a shift to being the face of a major series. 'It was terrifying, like, truly,' he said, describing his initial reaction to being cast. 'As an actor, it's something you wait your entire career for… but when it happened, I was immediately terrified.' The show follows employees of a mysterious company who undergo a procedure separating their work and personal lives. Season two has been nominated for 27 Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Drama Series and Lead Actor for Scott. Executive producer and director Ben Stiller said Scott had the technical ability to portray two versions of the same character within a single performance. 'The key to the effect working really is Adam's change of expression… very few actors I work with can do as well as him,' Stiller explained. Scott described how the role brought together decades of experience. 'I would have to use absolutely everything I've learned over 30 years if I was gonna do it right,' he said. With season three already in production, the actor acknowledged the long path that led him to the role: 'I knew that I was just gonna stick around until something happened, something came together for me.'
