The Zoolander star is still expected to stay on as a producer on Severance, even if he can't physically be on set to direct episodes in Season 3. Even after taking this step back, I assume Stiller will continue engaging with fans of the show on social media.

Following the official announcement of the Severance Season 3 renewal last March, the acclaimed sci-fi drama has now received a brand new update for its next installment. It has been confirmed that executive producer Ben Stiller will not be directing Season 3 for the first time since the show debuted in 2022.

Ben Stiller shared Britt Lower's "Severance" audition tape and praised it as "the best I've seen." Lower's self-tape audition for her eventual role as Helly in the Apple TV+ hit started making the rounds Tuesday.
