LOS ANGELES—Saying the new format would help him present the series as he had always intended, Severance creator Dan Erickson announced Monday that the TV show’s next season would be released solely as episode recaps on Vulture.com. “After some debate in the writers’ room, we concluded that 500-word write-ups in New York magazine’s pop culture section were the perfect way to continue unfolding the mystery of Lumon Industries and its severed employees,” said Erickson, admitting that it was a creative risk, but that reading the “outstanding work” already put out by Vulture‘s renowned freelancers as they summarized the show’s earlier seasons gave him confidence this would be a change for the better. “From here on out, every Friday you’ll have to turn to Vulture to get your Severance fix. Trust us here. Once you read a few of these season-three recaps, you’ll realize you won’t miss cinematography, music, lighting, sets, Ben Stiller’s directing, or even actors bringing to life the story of Mark, Gemma, Dylan, Mr. Milchick, and Helly R. All you need is the incredible work of this entertainment news website. Plus, these will have a little unanswered question section at the end, which is always fun.” Erickson added that it was difficult to part ways with Apple TV+, but Vulture had simply made the better offer.
