In Deadline’s report, which revealed that Severance will now be helmed by Apple Studios, with its former leading studio, Fifth Season, shifting to an executive producing position, plans for a four-season arc are supposedly in place. Part of the studio shift was to be able to accommodate the high-demand series’ heftier budget.

Per Deadline, “Taking a longer-term view, which is that Severance will run for at least four seasons, Apple TV brass concluded they would be able to make better decisions about the health of the show — including potentially expanding the franchise — and approached Fifth Season about a buyout.”

In other words, Apple Studios’ acquisition of the Severance IP is not only promising for a fourth season, but potentially for spinoffs. But stay tuned to see how they plan to expand the universe overrun by Kier’s Lumon Industries.

Who would star in Severance Season 4?

Currently, the main cast includes Adam Scott, Britt Lower, Patricia Arquette, Tramell Tillman, Zach Cherry, John Turturro, Dichen Lachman, Jen Tullock, and more.
