Much-anticipated second season of acclaimed Apple TV+ series premieres January 17, 2025
The outies are innies once more in the first trailer for the much-anticipated second season of Severance, which Apple TV+ premiered Saturday at at CCXP24 in São Paulo, Brazil.
“In Severance, Mark Scout (Adam Scott) leads a team at Lumon Industries, whose employees have undergone a severance procedure that 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,” Apple TV+ said in a synopsis.
“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.”
While the acclaimed Season One found the Lumon foursome getting a taste of their severed lives and a desire to end the experiment, the second season finds them (Scott, Britt Lower, John Turturro, and Zach Cherry) lured back in the office to investigate another mystery: Why Mark Scout’s long-presumed dead wife is a full-time, non-severed employee at Lumon.
The Emmy-nominated Severance, one of Rolling Stone‘s Best TV Shows of 2022, will return to Apple TV+ after a too-long three-year wait on January 17, 2025, with executive producer Ben Stiller serving as director on five of the second season’s 10 episodes. Christopher Walken, Patricia Arquette, Jen Tullock, and Tramell Tillman also return for Season Two, along with new cast members Sarah Bock and Ólafur Darri Ólafsson.
