Ben Stiller will not be directing any episodes of season three of Severance. Instead he will spend his time directing a film based on the true story of a downed airman in occupied France in World War II. Stiller also wants to make a film about Spiro Agnew, and a documentary about his parents.

      I don’t know much about what Spiro Agnew did as a non-American, but I assume it wasn’t that important because I never heard of him.

      After a quick google search I have found out he served in the war (Battle of the Bulge) and was the vice President for Nixon, so.

      You are welcome everyone that didn’t know.

      How many seasons does it take to get to the end of severance? 1…2…3…CRUNCH! 3! 3 seasons! 🍭🦉

    3. I’m optimistic that the other directors like Aoife McArdle and Jessica Lee Gagné will be able to pull it off, they did some great episodes too.

    4. NGL I’m intrigued by a Spiro Agnew film. He flies under the radar because he wasn’t involved in Watergate (far as we know), but the rush to force him to resign so he wouldn’t become president when Nixon was also forced to resign must have been a wild time

    5. Oh good rhe JJ Abraham’s special, make something unique and interesting and convoluted with no ending in mind and then jump ship and let the writers figure it out when shit gets to a point where explanations need to start coming or the story dies

    6. Stiller seemed to have a lot of passion for the show so there’s a part of me that hopes this is a good move – moving to more of an Exec Prod/Showrunner status, still overseeing production, but trusting the directors to be their own creative selves.

      I do think that unless some very very big story moves happen in the first two episodes of Season 3, I’ll be out. Season 2 was insanely slow, everything that happened in the last episode should’ve happened in the first episode and no interesting questions were raised and nothing from Season 1 was satisfyingly elaborated on.

      I’m kind of down for whatever Stiller decides to do. I always find it interesting when comedic actors get into doing more dramatic work and generally speaking I just really enjoy Stiller and his work.
