Innies and outies can rejoice. Severance has been renewed for season 3 at Apple TV+.
On X, Severance executive producer Ben Stiller wrote, “So some fans are asking for Season 3 of Severance. What do you say, @tim_cook?” Apple CEO Tim Cook replied with a video that focuses on groups of three.
“Season 3 of Severance is available upon request,” Cook wrote before signing off as “Tim C.”

The news comes on the day of the Severance season 2 finale, Cold Harbor. After building up to it the entire season, fans finally learned about the “Cold Harbor” file on Mark’s computer and why Lumon needs him to finish it.
Severance follows a group of Lumon Industries employees who underwent a special surgical procedure to separate their work (“innie”) and personal (“outie”) lives. On the “severed floor,” these employees, led by Mark Scout (Adam Scott), begin questioning the validity of their work and Lumon’s motives.
Severance stars Scott, Britt Lower, Tramell Tillman, Zach Cherry, Jen Tullock, Michael Chernus, Dichen Lachman, Sarah Bock, Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, John Turturro, Christopher Walken, and Patricia Arquette.
Severance is written, created, and executive produced by Dan Erickson. Stiller executive produces and directs the majority of the episodes.
In a recent interview on the New Heights podcast, Stiller reassured fans that the gap between seasons 2 and 3 will not be as long as the three-year hiatus between seasons 1 and 2.
Severance has become one of Apple’s biggest hits and most critically acclaimed shows. Season 1 received 14 Emmy nominations, including Outstanding Drama Series. The show also won a Peabody for entertainment.
Severance seasons 1 and 2 are now streaming on Apple TV+.
Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.
What is AV2, and why should viewers care?
YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.
YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.
