Apple Studios Acquires Emmy-Winning Drama Severance

The first season finale of Severance on Apple TV+ left viewers wondering how the series could possibly top itself, and now, with the show gearing up for a third season, Apple’s streaming service has acquired the series from Fifth Season, the production company behind the first two seasons. Fifth Season will stay on as an executive producer, ensuring continuity in the show’s creative direction.

Severance follows Lumon’s employees who lead dual lives, with their work selves separated from their personal selves, creating a suspenseful and unsettling atmosphere that has captivated audiences. The big question remains: will these employees succeed in taking down Lumon Industries once and for all?

Known for its high production value, Severance reportedly costs around $20 million per episode, making it one of the most expensive shows in the streaming landscape. With Apple Studios now fully involved, financing shouldn’t be an issue. The show has already been renewed for a third season, with rumors swirling about a potential fourth season in the works.

In addition to Severance, Fifth Season has produced several other series for Apple TV+, including Chief of War, See, Truth Be Told, and more. Apple Studios has been making a splash in the film industry as well, with titles like F1 breaking records and upcoming projects like Napoleon and Greyhound 2 generating buzz.

Season two of Severance was a hit for Apple, becoming its most-watched series upon release and sweeping the Emmy Awards with 27 nominations and 8 wins. Filmed in New York to take advantage of tax credits, production costs have been on the rise, but with Apple’s backing, the show is sure to continue delivering the suspense and intrigue that fans have come to love.
