# **Severance Season 3: Wild Theories About What’s Ahead** | **GadgetLad**
Alright mates, it’s your pal GadgetLad, back for another in-depth exploration of some prime television. Today, we’re diving into Severance – that mind-boggling series on Apple TV+. They’ve left us on yet another set of cliffhangers, and I’m feeling quite unsettled. Will we finally uncover the truths we seek in Season 3? Highly doubtful, but let’s take a closer look.
## **When Will Severance Season 3 Premiere?**
Honestly, who really knows? Although, according to Ben Stiller, we won’t be staring at a three-year wait like we did previously. That’s a relief because if I had to hold out until 2028, I’d likely be totally disconnected from reality.
The delays for Season 2 were rough – production dramas, strikes in Hollywood, and all that jazz. Hopefully, with things back in order now, we can expect it late next year. But considering how secretive Apple TV+ tends to be, don’t get your hopes too high too soon.
## **What Possible Storylines Could Severance Season 3 Explore?**
**⚠️ Major spoilers ahead – consider this your warning.⚠️**
The finale of Season 2 has left us all bewildered. Mark finally located his wife, Gemma, who was presumed dead, and their “innie” personas managed to reach an exit. But instead of escaping, Mark choked and stayed put. Helly showed up just in time, hinting at a case of potential identity exchanges. Classic Lumon madness.
We’re loaded with unresolved queries, so let’s break it down.
### **Uprising Against Lumon**
It’s high time the employees revolted. Mark and his crew have created total chaos at Lumon – they’ve liberated individuals, taken down Drummond, and trapped Milchick somewhere nasty. If that’s not on the verge of a full-blown uprising, I don’t know what is.
There’s also that sketchy goat farming operation that might lend a hand. No clue why Lumon’s so fixated on goats, but it’s bound to be something odd. Plus, let’s not forget the guys from the Choreography and Merriment department – what on earth are they up to all day if not plotting a revolt?
### **Mark S, Helly R, and Gemma: A Love Triangle… or Maybe a Love Hexagon?**
It’s complicated. Outie Mark is still mourning Gemma, while Innie Mark knows only Helly. Then there’s Helena, the evil twin version of Helly. If there’s one thing Severance excels at, it’s turning straightforward relationships into the most convoluted mess possible.
### **Mark’s Reintegration Process**
If Mark gets out, he’ll want to blend his innie and outie identities. But we saw how Petey ended up – the dude became a glitchy mess before ending it all. Not exactly a great endorsement. Still, knowing Mark, he’ll probably go for it anyway.
### **Harmony Cobel: Ally or Adversary?**
Cobel is a wild card. She got tossed out of Lumon but remains extremely suspicious. She’s been wrapped up in cult activities her whole life—does she truly want to dismantle Lumon, or is she just playing both sides? Wouldn’t trust her at all.
### **Irving’s Comeback**
The last time we saw Irving, he was aboard a train to nowhere, likely off doing some sleuthing. He’s one of the few who genuinely seemed aware of Lumon’s real agenda, so expect him to return with some significant insights.
### **What Lies Ahead for Mr. Milchick?**
Poor chap got wrecked by his own staff. Not only is he confined, but his reputation as Lumon’s enforcer is shot. Will he go off the rails or double down? Either way, he’ll likely be even more intimidating now.
## **Wacky Fan Theories About Season 3**
Because what’s a Severance chat without some absolutely bonkers fan theories?
### **Theory 1: Helly/Helena Might Be Expecting Mark’s Child**
Some fans speculate Helly got pregnant during that team-building “exercise.” Indicators include swollen feet and that bizarre “baby Kier” making an appearance in the opening credits. If this turns out to be true, it’ll create total chaos for both Marks.
### **Theory 2: Helly R. Will Usurp Helena**
Jame Eagan, who has the charisma of a meat locker, confessed that he prefers Helly over his actual daughter, Helena. Could we witness him orchestrating a shady swap to make our Helly the new heir? Wouldn’t put it past him.
### **Theory 3: Ricken and His Crew Are Undercover Lumon Employees**
Yeah, this one’s wild, but hear me out. There’s a mural featuring Mark at Lumon, surrounded by family and friends. Even Ricken’s peculiar book club makes an appearance. Could they all be severed without their knowledge? I mean, their odd behavior raises suspicion, so who would notice?
### **Theory 4: Lumon Aims to Eradicate Pain**
We’ve heard Lumon rave about Kier’s mission to eliminate suffering. What if they’re literally attempting to wipe suffering from the brain? No feelings, no trauma – just mindless workers on the clock. Sounds exactly like something these corporate lunatics would try.
### **Theory 5: Kier Eagan is Set to Make a Comeback**
Some fans believe the ultimate goal is to bring Kier back to life. Maybe they’ve frozen his brain, or he’ll be revived through some bizarre consciousness transfer – possibly through Helly’s potential child. Dark times ahead.
## **Who’s Coming Back to the Cast?**
Expect to see the usual gang return:
– Adam Scott as Mark
– Britt Lower as Helly
– Zach Cherry as Dylan
– John Turturro as Irving
– Patricia Arquette as Cobel
– Tramell Tillman as Milchick
– Dichen Lachman as Gemma
– Christopher Walken as Burt
– Plus more of Lumon’s creepy cult management
One character we *won’t* be seeing again: Drummond. Since Mark literally ended him in the finale, I highly doubt he’ll return unless it’s as a black-and-white hallucination.
## **How to Watch Severance**
If you’re in the UK, you can check it out on [Apple TV+](https://tv.apple.com/gb/). It’s £8.99 per month unless you’re savvy and grab one of those free trial deals. Definitely worth it if you enjoy shows that challenge your perception of reality.

## **Summary: “Severance: The Most Intense Show on Television”**
There you have it, folks. Season 3 is shaping up to be another absolute mind-boggler. Mark is trapped, Helly may be expecting, Milchick is stuck in a bog, and Lumon’s scheme is somehow even more frightening than we initially thought. Will we ever get answers? Probably not. But you can bet I’ll be glued to every episode, shouting at my screen nonetheless.
