Ben Stiller Unveils Surprising Dream Project for Severance

Mysterious developments are taking place regarding the production of Severance Season 3, with speculation mounting that the series could evolve into a broader franchise. This Apple TV+ hit stands as the platform’s most-watched show to date and has already garnered a prestigious position as one of the standout series of 2025, making our list of the most remarkable TV shows ever produced.

Despite its critical acclaim, one notable challenge is the lengthy production timeline. The second season, hampered by Hollywood strikes and various behind-the-scenes complications, took almost three years to complete. While the show’s creators are optimistic that the interval before Season 3 will not be as prolonged, the release timeline remains uncertain for fans eager to return to the enigmatic world of Lumon.

Given this context, it comes as no surprise that showrunner Ben Stiller and his colleagues are keeping future plans tightly under wraps. However, there are hints that the universe of Severance may be branching out into new territories.

In a recent interview featured in Variety, both Stiller and Adam Scott discussed the exciting possibility of Severance spinoffs, including the idea of transforming the show into a video game. Stiller expressed enthusiasm for the concept, stating, “It’d be great to have a ‘Severance’ video game, ” to which Scott added, “I think it lends itself to one.”

The intriguing question now is: what would such a video game entail? Fans have already developed makeshift Macrodata Refinement simulators, making it unlikely that the game would follow that trend. An alternative could be a chilling first-person experience where players assume the role of a Lumon employee from a different branch, navigating the severed floor while attempting to escape, potentially drawing inspiration from titles like The Stanley Parable.

Another possibility might involve an adaptation similar to Heavy Rain that explores the gripping content of the Lexington Letter. Despite the uncertainty surrounding a video game adaptation, Stiller has teased that he’s contemplating at least two intriguing spinoff concepts, though he remains tight-lipped about details.“They are nascent, ” he hinted, continuing his typical air of secrecy.

For fans eagerly anticipating the next chapter in the Severance saga, the horizon appears promising, albeit shrouded in mystery. Only time will reveal the direction this groundbreaking series will take.
