Deadline, which first reported the deal, noted that Fifth Season lost money on both seasons of “Severance” and that spending on Season 2 escalated amid months of COVID-19 protocols, a months-long shutdown due to the 2023 Hollywood strikes, writers’ room friction and script changes that resulted in scrapped pre-built locations and reshoots. In addition to “Severance,” Fifth Season has produced Apple series including “Chief of War,” “See,” “Truth Be Told,” “Roar,” “Lady in the Lake” and the delayed drama “The Savant.” The move comes on the heels of Apple Studios’ “F1” becoming the highest-grossing sports feature of all time — a collaboration with Jerry Bruckheimer and Joseph Kosinski that has led the pair to entrust the studio with their next feature, an untitled UAP project.
