Severance premiered in February 2022, almost three years ago. With the season ending on an all-time cliffhanger, fans of the show have been eagerly waiting for more. However, the effect of Hollywood strikes and other factors delayed production significantly.
But today, Apple is finally ready to launch the second season of Severance on Apple TV+, with the first episode kicking off directly after the events of the finale, from the innie perspective at least.
The new season includes a raft of new cast members joining the Macrodata Refinement office, alongside the main squad of Mark, Helly, Dylan and Irving. Reeling from the events of the season one finale, the first episode of season two kicks off with Mark running through the labyrinthine hallways of Lumon’s severed floor.
With strong critical acclaim ahead of the premiere, Severance season two is described as darker, funnier and thankfully “worth the wait”. The season should give fans some long-awaited answers, but also unfurl a universe of new questions about exactly what Lumon is up to.
But if you want to binge on the show in its entirety, you’ll have to wait a bit longer. Like most Apple shows, season two is rolling out weekly with a new episode every Friday. The finale premieres on March 21.
Apple doesn’t release viewership numbers, but Severance season two is looking to be a big hit for the streamer. Marketing campaigns have been in full swing this week, and the three year wait has given a lot of time for audiences to discover and give the show a chance. Severance will also likely be a big contender during this year’s TV award season.
