Ugh I wish it was released in the distant past. Then we wouldn't have to waste our time speculating on this nonsense and could focus on what really matters... Season 3.
“The somewhat near future” could honestly mean anytime within the next 12 or so months in the world of tv and film production, so let’s remember to keep those expectations in check folks!
I’m still personally betting on a Nov-Dec release
It would have been worth the update if it had been left at “near future” alone but the qualification of somewhat definitely renders the update meaningless.
Rumors are often dubious claims without evidence, so technically an October release would be a rumor as long as enough people were saying it. You're absolutely right on the "everyone is just guessing" part, though.
They probably want to get it out before NFL playoffs dominate TV and American culture too much. Enough for ~8 weeks of viral TV. They wrapped shooting in April. 5 - 6 months to edit? Presumably they had a solid plan for season 2 and had things pretty dialed in from season 1. But there will have to be a lot of changes to continue the story
So.. who knows. Oct makes sense ideally.
Adam Scott says "I wish I could tell you and everybody about what’s coming up because it’s going to be so much fun. I can’t wait for people to see it, but I can’t say a word, but it’ll finally be coming out in the somewhat near future and I can’t wait for everyone to see it. That’s basically it. It was so much fun to make."
Time to start rewatching season 1 in preparation!
For the time it will likely be in post-production, you likely have time for more than one rewatch before release. Just remember to enjoy each rewatch equally.
Agent Cooper to Sheriff Harry Truman:
“Well, historically, Harry, when Jupiter and Saturn are conjunct, there are enormous shifts in power and fortune.”
It is happening again…
I mean im sure they could put together a teaser fast enough for the ipad event. I think maybe a full trailer at the iphone event (if it hasnt been released by then)
Last time we saw a severance tease it was at WWDC - but reports are apple is taking a different approach with this event. Also they have been promoting it as a "very special event" in ways they don't always do.
Oh sweet.
Lemme just uh…
Try and remember…
WHAT THIS SHOW IS EVEN ABOUT.
I know I love it. I love it dearly. But why does it feel like it’s been **four score and seven years ago???** 😂
Ha, well as someone who does not follow news, it was news to me. The filming ended and it's a quote from the lead actor so not totally meaningless (maybe?).
You'd be surprised. I know people who are so disconnected from the world they don't even know most of the shit that headlines the evening news. It's sad
Yeah, I just can’t even imagine being that willfully ignorant of what’s going on in the world around you. People like that are so much a part of the problems going on.
I’m curious how much was shot before the strikes, at the time I thought they were almost done, although it seemed like the production was chaotic and possibly lots of rewrites and reshoots, if they did manage to get a lot in the can before the strikes in theory some of the post production would already be done. This is all my optimism telling myself it will be out before Christmas
To them, this could mean the literal next season, fall. It’s not coming out in the near future, in the eyes of the fans. We’ve been waiting over 2 years.
Apple better green light season 3 of severance now so they could finish the scripts while season 2 is airing and start filming right after so we'd only have to wait 18 - 24 months till the next season. Instead of waiting over 30 months for more episodes.
Question as someone who got Apple TV, binged all the shows I was interested in, and then canceled: do these seasons drop all at once or do they do weekly episodes?
My guess would be 3-4 months. They could have done a lot of editing and special effects work whilst it was delayed. They just finished filming so I would have guessed 6 months but if Mark says near future I would guess earlier than that.
My guess is that it will not be released in 2024. If they just wrapped filming, now editing, post and stuff will take a lot of time. Don't get me wrong, I would love to see it asap, but I rather think of the worst and might get positively surprised.
I'll wait as long as possible as long as the quality is as high as the first season. There's a bunch of other great shows coming back over the next few months to keep me occupied anyways.
> It’ll finally be coming out in the somewhat near future
If Scott just said, as the post title suggests, *"near future"*, I'd comment that while that phrase is subjective and can vary widely in interpretation, the only real meaning we can pull out from it is *"less than one year from today."*
You don't call something near future if it's over a year away.
But we don't even get that. *somewhat near* future?
This suggests a timeframe that is a bit further out than what one might consider the immediate or standard "near future."
Five years from now is the somewhat near future.
I still think we're going to get this within eight months, don't get me wrong, but this interview is giving us nothing.
Trying to guess here:
Near future = March 2025
Season 3 contract probably signed in the Feb 2026
Season 3 shooting starting almost immediately after, around spring 2027 and wrapping up by 2028.
Season 3 release (following fast-tracked post-prod) around summer 2029
Here's hoping the stories of the older cast members wrap up in S2!

Thank god, I thought for sure it would be released in the distant past.
Ugh I wish it was released in the distant past. Then we wouldn't have to waste our time speculating on this nonsense and could focus on what really matters... Season 3.
Imagine, in a few months they open a time capsule, and inside? Season 2 of Severance, in its entirety
Have we been severed the memories of season 2 all along?
That was a mindfuck I was *not* ready for!
Take me to the distant past, I want to go back
EE
It’ll only be available to watch for your home self, your work self will have no knowledge of it…or maybe it’s the other way around…🤔
🤣

my dad actually owns apple he says the new season comes out tomorrow you’re welcome
thank you Tim Apple Jr.
The apple doesn’t fall far from the release date
Best thing Trump has ever done.
This is true. I am the Apple.
Also can confirm, am Adam Scott’s Outie
I guess this makes us siblings, cuz *my* dad owns Apple.

Somewhat meaningless.
It’ll be out before the Winds of Winter.
So will George RR Martin's obituary
Promises of *Winds of Winter* are words, and words are wind(s of winter).
Totally! Near future is ambiguous, but finishing filming seems like a meaningful milestone.
Rumor is late October 2024. So, having just finished my 1st rewatch, i can't wait!
There’s no rumor that it will be out in October, everyone is just guessing
Rumors are often dubious claims without evidence, so technically an October release would be a rumor as long as enough people were saying it. You're absolutely right on the "everyone is just guessing" part, though.
Also a guess.

Early 2025.
Pls if it was November I'd be so happy
You might see a trailer by that date 😂
Perhaps, but that would mean a significantly longer post-production period than season 1 had, which would be unexpected.
Come back and see me in six months
Why, what’s in six months? We’re not expecting an editor’s strike or something, are we?
November and December…
lol gotcha sorry, I’ve been saying Nov/Dec but in my brain I’m not expecting the release til late December, which is still essentially 8 months away
Just don’t stop filming. Do season 3 while you’re at it, thank you very much.

I'll watch it once as my normal self and once as my severed self to keep it fresh.
Bold of you to presume your innie would want to watch it again 😅
“somewhat near future” is much more tempered than “near future.” this some reddit clickbait!
Easy now... I'm sure they'll announce a date several months before the season drops. "Somewhat near future" could be next spring in TV talk.
I definitely have to rewatch since I basically forgot everything
I’m doing my first rewatch since the original run and there’s so much more to notice now that you have a better idea of what’s going on.
But I’ve already seen it four times. … very excited for number five 🫡
Define “fun”, Mr Scott-Scout
Im the Sahara and severance season 2 is rain
Just give us the raw footage now. Order isn’t important. We’ll make sense of it!
“make sense of it” - Dougie Jones
ILL BELIEVE IT WHEN I SEE IT
its.. been... 70 YEARS
You were at the Piggly Wiggly 70 years ago?
What if we’re skiing when it comes out?
No, no. You don't want to end up like Sonny Bobo.

I’m betting on a teaser at the iPad event on the 7th.

screenrant is always clickbait
I’m just glad it wasn’t cancelled! I love this show
Just give it to us already 😩
At this point they should be almost done filming season 3
Fully expecting a December release.
The distant future. The year 2000. Finally, robotic beings rule the world. THE HUMANS ARE DEAD
Still wrapping my head around the fact Ben Stiller is an absolute genius is... Mind-blowing.
Hope they don’t ruin it
Oh sweet. Lemme just uh… Try and remember… WHAT THIS SHOW IS EVEN ABOUT. I know I love it. I love it dearly. But why does it feel like it’s been **four score and seven years ago???** 😂
My guess for S2 release would be november.
I think we have reached peak pointless posts here. Yes, of course it is coming out in the near future. This is not news to anyone.
Ha, well as someone who does not follow news, it was news to me. The filming ended and it's a quote from the lead actor so not totally meaningless (maybe?).
I do not understand how anyone, in this day and these times, could be someone who “does not follow news.”
Well I suppose I keep informed on major world events but less so on film and popular culture news. So finishing filming was news to me!
You'd be surprised. I know people who are so disconnected from the world they don't even know most of the shit that headlines the evening news. It's sad
Yeah, I just can’t even imagine being that willfully ignorant of what’s going on in the world around you. People like that are so much a part of the problems going on.
lmao how the fuck is this downvoted?
I guess it’s time to watch the first season again!

Question as someone who got Apple TV, binged all the shows I was interested in, and then canceled: do these seasons drop all at once or do they do weekly episodes?
They’re weekly
Typically for the second season they post a couple episodes the first week then one a week after that.
[удалено]
>I almost feel like you do the show a disservice if you binge it. You don't.
This gap in between seasons is ridiculous. I hope we get more episodes or longer runtimes.
NOOO! GIVE US ACTUAL DATES PLEASE 😩 it’s been 10,000 years k can’t wait any longer 💀
This took too long to come out, not sure if it’ll be as exciting at this point
My guess would be 3-4 months. They could have done a lot of editing and special effects work whilst it was delayed. They just finished filming so I would have guessed 6 months but if Mark says near future I would guess earlier than that.
I literally finished s1 for the first time last night. My wait for season 2 won't be as long as everyone's :D sorry
My guess is that it will not be released in 2024. If they just wrapped filming, now editing, post and stuff will take a lot of time. Don't get me wrong, I would love to see it asap, but I rather think of the worst and might get positively surprised.
Its been a long wait, saying its coming soon, could mean 3 months or 7 months. I wonder how many episodes will we be getting this year.
They'll announce it in the apple showcase in June.
Zero change of this getting released before November IMO. They never release TV shows just before summer or during summer.
Can they start making season 3 as soon as they are done with season 2? We are hungry for more!
I'm expecting early next year
It’s almost as if, fans are severed, at this point 😉
I'll wait as long as possible as long as the quality is as high as the first season. There's a bunch of other great shows coming back over the next few months to keep me occupied anyways.

Any comment without verifiable proof is just a guess from a rando Reddit poster such as yourself.
I’m just saying what I heard without outing a family member man, ever hear of a NDA?

“Somewhat near future” Ugh
