Under the deal, which was worth just under $70 million, Apple\u2019s in-house studio will be producing the show\u2019s future seasons. Fifth Season will remain as an executive producer. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The deal is similar to one Apple struck with AMC Studios for sci-fi show \u201cSilo\u201d after season one. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Severance will now be one of Apple\u2019s marquee titles, joining popular series such as\u00a0\u201cYour Friends and Neighbors\u201d and  \u201cStick.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Deadline, the production costs for Severance had exceeded what Fifth Season could afford. The studio had already requested advances from Apple and was considering relocating production from New York to Canada for bigger and quicker tax rebates. Since Apple definitely has the funds to back the show, the company decided to take full control. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Severance is important to the streamer, as the show\u2019s second season became Apple\u2019s most-watched series at the time. It also had the highest number of nominations at the 2025 Emmy Awards.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deadline reports that the show is expected to run for four seasons, with the possibility of spin-offs, a prequel, and foreign versions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2026\/02\/12\/apple-acquires-all-rights-to-severance-will-produce-future-seasons-in-house\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple has acquired the IP and &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":21211,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[249],"tags":[445,4216,12834],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21210"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=21210"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21210\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/21211"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=21210"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=21210"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=21210"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
