Patricia Arquette Confirms Major 'Severance' Season 3 Filming Update (Exclusive)

Since March of 2025, Severance fans have been anxiously waiting to find out what happens next on the fan-favorite psychological thriller, but it wasn’t yet clear when work on season 3 would begin and new episodes would be released. While we still don’t have an official release date, Patricia Arquette did just confirm a massive update on season 3, and fans of the show will no doubt be pleased.

Speaking exclusively with Parade on July 27, Arquette said, “I can say they start shooting today. It’s on its way, and I feel very good about the scripts and excited about where we’re going. And, you know, each season has really had its own twists and turns and visuals, and I think that’s going to continue, and I think people will be excited about it.”

Although Ben Stiller, who has directed most episodes of the show, had previously dropped major hints on his X account that Severance season 3 had begun filming, with an image of Adam Scott’s Mark and Britt Lower’s Helly running through red-hued halls and a caption reading, “To return to work is to return home,” Arquette’s comments come as confirmation that Severance season 3 began filming in late July, and season 3 is indeed underway.

About whether she feels her character, Harmony Cobel, is misunderstood, she added, “Yes, I do, as a matter of fact. Of course, I do. Why, yes. No, I do think she is misunderstood, yeah, and I think that, you know, a lot of people think that they’re misunderstood who do things that people don’t like. I think they have their reasons. We may not agree with them, but, you know, she was indoctrinated…and they have this very different way of behavior and punishments and things like that. So, she’s kind of a creature of that establishment.”

In addition to ongoing work on Severance, Arquette has just undertaken another endeavor, this one seeing her in a directorial role. Specifically, alongside Lindsay Lohan and Amy Sedaris, Arquette has just worked on a new campaign highlighting the Reese’s Oreo cup. The ad spot, which Arquette directed, shows Lohan teaching twins (both played by Sedaris) how to get along, all with a backdrop highly reminiscent of The Parent Trap.
