I’ll always remember getting a lucky early look at Dan Erickson and Ben Stiller’s Severance, and reviewed it back in February 2022, and I was hopeful others would take the lift down into the mysterious, captivating show along with me – and so when it really took off, it was great to see!

While it’ll be nearly three years until season 2 of Severance drops on Apple TV+, on 17 January 2025 no less, I’m more than happy to wait after such a wealth of shows speed into series after series. Also, further positives, as the excellent ensemble return, which includes Adam Scott, Britt Lower, Tramell Tillman, Zach Cherry, Jen Tullock, Michael Chernus, Dichen Lachman, John Turturro, Christopher Walken and Patricia Arquette, plus new series regular Sarah Bock. 

As a quick reminder for the series:

Mark Scout (Adam Scott) leads a team at Lumon Industries, whose employees have undergone a severance procedure, which surgically divides their memories between their work and personal lives. This daring experiment in “work-life balance” is called into question as Mark finds himself at the center of an unraveling mystery that will force him to confront the true nature of his work… and of himself. In season two, Mark and his friends learn the dire consequences of trifling with the severance barrier, leading them further down a path of woe.

Written, created and executive produced by Dan Erickson, the series is also exec produced by Ben Stiller who steps into the directors chair for five episodes this time out, with Uta Bresiewitz, Sam Donovan and Jessica Lee Gagné taking on the other ones.

Here’s the trailer – and a nice host of teasers!

Severance Season 2, the 10-episode second season debuts globally on Apple TV+ with the first episode on Friday 17 January 2025, followed by an episode every Friday through 21 March
