Ben Stiller won't direct any episodes of Severance season 3, but he's assured fans that he's still involved with the next installment of the Apple TV show behind the scenes.

"These things take time to come together," Stiller told The LA Times about why he's taking a break from the Severance director's chair. "And the older you get, the more you realize that you only have so much time." Instead, Stiller is going to be shooting a World War 2 survival movie, the publication reports.

"It’s been full-time the last 8 months working on season 3 and I’m not going anywhere," he wrote on Twitter in response to a fan account commenting on the news. "We have incredible directors and a team that creates the show. I love directing it and look forward to at some point again for sure. I feel like season 3 is going to be the best yet as we continue to evolve."
