Severance's Dylan is filming season 3 and makes a point of not knowing what happens in it
Severance is still so hush-hush that, as Season 3 production continues on Apple TV, Zach Cherry says he’s in — and he’s deliberately keeping himself in the dark.
Severance fans have been gagging for any scrap of season 3 news, and the latest tidbit comes straight from Zach Cherry himself. If you’re holding out for proper spoilers, though, don’t get your hopes up—Cherry’s gone full MI5 with how little he’s letting slip. Makes sense for a series that’s kept its secrets locked down tighter than a Lumon office cubicle.
“I like to know as little as possible because I know people will ask. And I don’t want to have the answers to accidentally tell them,”
That was Cherry, chatting with ScreenRant, making it clear he’s actively avoiding Severance spoilers specifically so he doesn’t go and blab them later. Frankly, understandable—no one wants to be the actor who ruins the big twist on this sort of show.

Still Filming, Still Tight-Lipped
During the interview, Cherry did confirm he'd been filming the night before. Which, apparently, he wasn’t entirely sure he was allowed to admit. He joked about it, saying he was excited for the next season but immediately second-guessing whether he’d even been cleared to share that fact. That’s how careful Apple TV’s being—cast don’t even know if they can say they’re on set.
“I mean, even saying that I was working on it, I am like, ‘Was I allowed to say that? But I think so,’”
If you were wondering how much the cast actually know about what’s coming, Cherry’s approach is basically willful ignorance. He figures it’s the safest way to avoid getting grilled by journalists or overly excitable fans.
A Bit of Context
If you missed it: Severance first landed in 2022 and made a splash with its mind-bending corporate nightmare premise—where employees at Lumon Industries have their work and home lives surgically split. The show’s been a proper critical darling and is proving popular with viewers as well.
Severance boasts a 95% critic rating and 80% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Season 3 is supposedly set for a 2027 premiere, but as usual with this series, we’ll have to wait and see if the schedule actually holds. If Cherry doesn’t even know what he’s filming, the rest of us are probably staying in the dark a while longer.
