Following the official announcement of the Severance Season 3 renewal last March, the acclaimed sci-fi drama has now received a brand new update for its next installment. It has been confirmed that executive producer Ben Stiller will not be directing Season 3 for the first time since the show debuted in 2022.

The Zoolander star is still expected to stay on as a producer on Severance, even if he can't physically be on set to direct episodes in Season 3. Even after taking this step back, I assume Stiller will continue engaging with fans of the show on social media.

Stiller has directed most episodes of the Apple TV hit so far, but season three poses some scheduling conflicts.
