Key Takeaways
- Apple TV’s Success: Apple TV has emerged as a leading platform for high-quality sci-fi shows, with Pluribus breaking records.
- Severance Season 2: The second season of Severance finally premiered after delays due to the pandemic and strikes.
- Production Challenges: Season 3 of Severance faces significant production delays, likely extending the wait to 2.5 years.
- Viewer Anticipation: Fans are eagerly awaiting the return of both Pluribus and Severance.
Over the last few years, Apple TV has become one of the most important streaming services for producing high-quality sci-fi TV shows. The platform unleashed Pluribus into the world last year, and despite it being a much slower-paced, methodical show than some fans may be used to, it still shattered records on its way to becoming the most popular Apple TV sci-fi show of all time. Pluribus, which hails from creator Vince Gilligan and stars Rhea Seehorn, was renewed for Season 2, but it’s unlikely that the show will return anytime before 2028. There is another beloved Apple TV sci-fi show set to return with another season sooner than Pluribus, and while it may have lost its spot at the top of the Apple TV sci-fi hierarchy, that doesn’t mean fans aren’t anxiously anticipating its return.
All the way back in 2022, Apple TV unleashed the first season of Severance into the world, and it’s still viewed as one of the best seasons of sci-fi TV ever made. The COVID-19 pandemic and WGA/SAG-AFTRA strikes delayed the release of Severance Season 2, but the show finally returned last year with its long-awaited second season. Apple TV renewed Severance for a third season on the same day that it released the Season 2 premiere, and director Ben Stiller even promised that the wait for Season 3 would be shorter than Season 2. Severance star Adam Scott recently spoke on a red carpet interview for his new horror movie, Hokum, and he was asked if the wait for Season 3 was still going to be shorter than that of Season 2:
“We’re always trying to shorten the amount of time between seasons, but it’s more important for it to be great than for it to be fast. We’re definitely planning on getting it out much sooner than the last round, which was three years, which was too long.”

TEST YOUR SURVIVAL →
01
You sense something is deeply wrong with the world around you. What do you do?
The first instinct is often the truest one.
A Pull on every thread until I understand the system — then figure out how to break it.
B Stop asking questions and start stockpiling — food, fuel, weapons. Questions don’t keep you alive.
C Keep my head down, observe carefully, and trust no one until I know who’s pulling the strings.
D Study the patterns. Every system has a rhythm — learn it, and you learn how to survive it.
E Find the people fighting back and join them. You can’t fix a broken galaxy alone.

02
In a world of scarcity, what resource do you guard most fiercely?
What we protect reveals what we believe survival actually requires.
A Knowledge. If you understand the system, you don’t need resources — you can generate them.
B Fuel. Everything else — movement, power, escape — runs on it.
C Trust. In a world of fakes and informants, a truly reliable ally is rarer than any commodity.
D Water. And after water, information — the two things empires are truly built on.
E Ships and credits. The galaxy is big — you survive it by being able to move through it freely.

03
What kind of threat keeps you up at night?
Fear is useful data — if you’re honest about what you’re actually afraid of.
04
How do you deal with authority you don’t trust?
Every dystopia has a power structure. Your approach to it determines everything.
05
Which environment could you actually endure long-term?
Survival isn’t just tactical — it’s physical, psychological, and very much about where you are.
06
Who do you want in your corner when things fall apart?
The company you keep is the clearest signal of who you actually are.
07
Where do you draw the line — if you draw one at all?
Every survivor eventually faces a moment that tests what they’re actually made of.
08
What would actually make survival worth it?
Staying alive is one thing. Having a reason to is another.

You’d Survive In…
Your answers point to the world your instincts were built for. This is the universe your temperament, your survival instincts, and your particular brand of stubbornness were made for.
The Resistance , Zion
You took the red pill a long time ago — probably before anyone offered it to you. You’re a systems thinker who can’t help but notice the seams in things.
- You’re drawn to understanding how the system works before figuring out how to break it.
- You’d find the Resistance , or it would find you — your instinct for spotting constructed realities is the machines’ worst nightmare.
- You function best when you have access to information and the freedom to act on it.
- The Matrix built an airtight prison . You’d be probing its walls for doors.
