Ben Stiller Confirms Severance Season 3 on New Heights Podcast, Teases Kelce Brothers Cameo

March 21, 2025

Fans of the mind-bending Apple TV+ series Severance have reason to celebrate today as Ben Stiller, the show’s executive producer and director, has officially confirmed that a third season is in the works. The exciting revelation came during Stiller’s appearance on the wildly popular New Heights podcast, hosted by NFL stars Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce. But the news didn’t stop there—Stiller also dropped a tantalizing hint about potentially bringing the Kelce brothers into the Severance universe for a cameo appearance, sparking a frenzy of speculation among fans of both the show and the podcast.

The announcement unfolded during a lively conversation on the March 19 episode of New Heights, where Stiller joined the Kelce brothers to discuss everything from his iconic film career to his work on Severance. When Travis Kelce asked about the timeline for a potential third season—referencing the lengthy gap between Seasons 1 and 2—Stiller didn’t hold back. “We’re bringing Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce in for a cameo—it’s going to be wild,” he enthused, sending the internet into a tailspin. While Apple TV+ has yet to officially renew the series, Stiller’s confidence and casual reveal suggest that Season 3 is all but a done deal.

The idea of Travis and Jason Kelce stepping into the eerie, corporate world of Severance is as unexpected as it is thrilling. Known for their larger-than-life personalities and gridiron heroics—Travis as a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs and Jason as a recently retired Philadelphia Eagles center—the brothers have already won over millions with their podcast banter. Now, Stiller seems eager to blend their charisma with the show’s unsettling narrative. “The Kelce brothers, Travis and Jason, would be perfect for a cameo,” he told the hosts, doubling down on the pitch. “Imagine Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce in the Severance world—we’re working on making that happen for an episode.”

For those unfamiliar, Severance follows the employees of Lumon Industries, a mysterious corporation where workers undergo a procedure to surgically separate their work and personal memories. The show’s first season, which premiered in 2022, earned critical acclaim for its innovative premise and haunting atmosphere, while Season 2 is currently airing, keeping viewers on edge with its twists and turns. Stiller’s involvement as both director and producer has been a driving force behind its success, and his latest comments hint at an ambitious vision for the future.

The Kelce cameo tease isn’t just a fun aside—it’s a testament to the growing cultural crossover between New Heights and Hollywood. The podcast has become a hot spot for celebrity scoops, with Jason Sudeikis recently confirming Ted Lasso Season 4 on the show just weeks prior. Stiller’s appearance, complete with waffles (a nod to the show’s infamous “waffle party” scene), only cemented its status as a must-listen platform. “I’d love to see Travis and Jason Kelce pop into an episode,” Stiller said, sparking laughter and excitement from the brothers. Travis, ever the enthusiast, responded with an eager, “Oh yeah, let’s make it happen!”

But what might the Kelce brothers’ cameo look like? Fans are already theorizing. Could they play Lumon employees caught in the severance procedure, their boisterous personalities muted by the company’s dystopian grip? Or perhaps they’d appear as themselves, a meta twist in the show’s surreal landscape? Stiller offered no concrete details, only adding fuel to the speculation with a coy, “It’d be a game-changer.” Whatever the case, the prospect of merging the Kelces’ infectious energy with Severance’s dark, cerebral tone has viewers buzzing.

Beyond the cameo talk, Stiller reassured fans that the wait for Season 3 won’t mirror the agonizing three-year gap between the first two seasons. “It won’t take that long this time,” he promised on the podcast, hinting that production plans are already in motion. “We’re announcing what the plan is very soon,” he added, leaving listeners hopeful for a smoother rollout. This comes as welcome news for a fanbase that’s been vocal about wanting more of Mark Scout (Adam Scott), Helly Riggs (Zach Cherry), and the unsettling world of Lumon.

Stiller’s New Heights appearance wasn’t all business—he also shared lighter moments, like reminiscing about attending a New York Knicks game with Travis’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift, a decade ago. The actor even jokingly proposed a future Knicks outing with the couple, saying, “You should definitely come though. I can hook that up.” But it was the Severance scoop that stole the show, proving once again that the Kelce brothers have a knack for coaxing big reveals out of their guests.

As Severance Season 2 continues to unfold, the confirmation of Season 3—and the tantalizing Kelce cameo tease—marks a thrilling new chapter for the series. Whether Travis and Jason will actually step into Lumon’s sterile halls remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: Ben Stiller is ready to take the show to, well, new heights. Fans will be eagerly awaiting further updates—and perhaps keeping an eye out for a pair of familiar football stars in the next batch of episodes.
