Severance Season 3 Amends The Gap Problem As Star Clarifies The Hit Show’s Rumored Filming Start Window

by

Severance might be coming back sooner than expected.

As a fan eagerly awaiting more, I’m relieved to hear some clarity around the timeline for Severance season 3. There was a significant gap since the finale of season 2, which left us all wondering when we’d see the innies’ takeover of the severed floor at Lumon continue. Thankfully, one of the show’s stars has now clarified when filming is expected to begin, easing my worries about a potentially long wait.

John Turturro recently shared an update on the filming schedule for season 3 while speaking with Collider at the Sundance Film Festival. He clarified that reports of an April 2026 start date are inaccurate, and it’s now looking more likely that filming will begin in July. However, he says he doesn’t have any information about the plot of the new episodes of the thriller.

John Turturro recently suggested that filming for season 3 of Severance will begin sooner than fans might expect, meaning a shorter wait time compared to the gap between the first two seasons. Season 2 took three years to release after season 1, largely due to problems during production. Filming for season 2 started in October 2022 and continued through May 2023, but was paused by the 2023 Hollywood strikes before wrapping up between January and April 2024.

Season 2 premiered in January 2025, just nine months after filming wrapped. It quickly became Apple TV+’s most popular show, though it was later surpassed by Pluribus in December 2025. This success motivates Apple to prioritize a faster turnaround for future seasons.

John Turturro has indicated filming for the next season could begin as early as July 2026, potentially bringing it back much faster than the previous season. If they can avoid the production issues that slowed down season 2, filming could be quicker and more efficient.

The release timing also hinges on how long it takes to produce season 3, which could be a lengthy process depending on the scope of the season. As the show progresses, the characters in Severance will likely face significant challenges as the series explores complex questions about identity and the nature of self through its central program.

While we don’t have a confirmed start date for filming Severance season 3, John Turturro’s comments suggest it could happen sooner rather than later, potentially shortening the long wait for new episodes. However, because filming will likely begin about a year and a half after season 2, fans can still expect a considerable delay.
