Severance Season 3: A Star's Disappointment
Get ready for a behind-the-scenes drama that will have you on the edge of your seat! One of the show's leading ladies, Patricia Arquette, has expressed her disappointment over a major shift in the upcoming season.
Severance, the critically acclaimed Apple TV series, is set to return for its third installment, but there's a twist that has left Arquette less than thrilled.
The Absence of Ben Stiller
In an exclusive interview, Arquette revealed her feelings about Ben Stiller's absence from the director's chair. As an executive producer and director of the first two seasons, Stiller's presence was integral to the show's success. However, due to his busy schedule and multiple upcoming projects, he won't be directing any episodes in Season 3.
Arquette, an Oscar winner herself, expressed her disappointment, saying, "I'm not happy about it. I don't appreciate this." She even went as far as to jokingly boo Stiller, showing her playful side while standing up for her creative vision.
The Impact of Stiller's Absence
Stiller's absence is a significant change for the show, as he directed some of the most pivotal episodes, including the premiere and finale of Season 1. His unique style and creative input will undoubtedly be missed. But here's where it gets controversial: will the new directors be able to fill his shoes?
While directors for Season 3 haven't been announced yet, the producers are confident in their ability to assemble a talented team. After all, they've done it before, and the show's success speaks for itself.
A Busy Schedule for Stiller
Stiller's departure from the director's chair isn't due to a lack of interest in Severance. In fact, he's still an executive producer on the award-winning series. His absence is a result of a packed schedule, including directing a World War II movie, filming the next Meet the Parents installment, and starring in an HBO show, The Band.
So, while Stiller may not be physically present on set, his influence and involvement in the show's production remain strong.
The Future of Severance
Despite the delay caused by the Hollywood strikes, Severance fans can expect Season 3 to premiere in 2027, assuming no further disruptions. And this is the part most people miss: even without Stiller directing, the show's quality is expected to remain top-notch, thanks to the talented team of producers and writers.
A Message to Ben Stiller
Patricia Arquette, in her playful banter, promised to "get him back" for Season 3. But will Stiller return to the director's chair for future seasons? Only time will tell.
