Apple TV+ programming head Matt Cherniss on when ‘Severance’ season 3 might return
Apple TV+’s whopping 79 Emmy nominations this year included “Severance,” which earned the most nominations this year at 27 (which means it also led all dramas), and “The Studio,” which landed 23 nods — the most of any comedy.
Apple TV+’s whopping 79 Emmy nominations this year included “Severance,” which earned the most nominations this year at 27 (which means it also led all dramas), and “The Studio,” which landed 23 nods — the most of any comedy. Apple TV+ programming head Matt Cherniss spoke with Variety about Apple TV+ and what’s next.
“It’s great for the service,” Apple TV+ head of programming Matt Cherniss told Variety. “I’m especially happy for all the talent that’s involved in making these incredible series. All of the talent takes a leap of faith when they’re deciding where to bring their shows, and I’m just thrilled that they’re rewarded for believing in us as a home for all their hard work.”
“There’s a lot of texts and calls flying back and forth,” Cherniss said. “I wouldn’t say that anyone goes into it expecting something like this. These are eight to 10 episodes for for the viewers, but this is years for all the creators involved. It’s a great feeling for everyone, and for everyone here at Apple that has put their heart and soul in promoting these shows in marketing and giving everyone the support that they need.”
The success of “Severance” came after a three-year gap between the show’s first season and its second, due in part to the Hollywood strikes and other production delays. Asked whether Season 3 was on track, Cherniss said, “I think everyone’s just going to take a deep breath and enjoy where we’re at. I know they’re going as as quickly as they can. When you have the success that a show like ‘Severance’ has, you want to make sure you deliver on every level when the show comes back, and that takes some time. But they’re on it, and I think I’m feeling really good about where we’re at.”
Does that mean another three-year delay? “No one wants it to be another three year gap… I don’t believe that we have a production start date yet, but we’re moving in that direction,” he said. “I’m as excited as everyone else to see where the series goes. I may have a few ideas about where it’s heading, but I like to be surprised as much as anyone.”
MacDailyNews Take: It’s really be best for momentum if season three of Severance could somehow appear in 2026 (but, we’re not holding our breath for that; 2027 may be the best Severance fans can hope for).
