What did Dan Erickson say about Severance?
“I’ve a fairly stable thought of the endpoint of the present,” he answered. “I’ve type of a ultimate scene that has at all times been in my head and solutions to a number of the huge questions. I believe you type of need to know these in an effort to know the principles of the world that you simply’re writing. But additionally, I believe it’s balanced as a result of I wish to be stunned by the present too. Generally we’ll meet a brand new character or discover a new location or ingredient of the present that I’m stunned to seek out myself in love with and abruptly it’s like, ‘Nicely, now that must be a part of it. We will’t simply depart that there. Now we have to make that part of the larger story.’ And that’s the place lots of the enjoyable is available in. It’s important to suppose in your toes just a little bit and let the present shock you.”
Erickson additional stated that he has an “thought” of what number of seasons he’d just like the present to go for, although he didn’t reveal the quantity.
“It’s not like one hundred percent for certain however we’ve talked about it internally and we’re all fairly certain that we have now a quantity that we’re pleased with,” he stated.
Concerning Severance Season 3, which has not but been formally greenlit presently, Erickson says he hopes followers gained’t have to attend as they did for Severance Season 2 ought to Apple TV+ renew the sequence.
“Season two really took about the identical period of time as season one,” he stated. “The distinction, after all, is season one no one knew what the present was and they also weren’t ready for it. However on the identical time, you’re at all times trying to type of fine-tune the method and take what works and depart what doesn’t work and streamline issues. So, my hope is that if there’s a season three, it’s going to be sooner.
