It’s time to clock back in on the severed floor.
Three years after the first season aired, “Severance” on Apple TV+ is back for a “weirder and wilder” Season 2.
If you weren’t already convinced the show could get weirder or wilder, just look to the promotion for it. Earlier this week, the “Severance” cast popped up at Grand Central Station in character to “work” in a glass cube with their office setup inside.
In her review of the new season, The Post’s TV reporter Lauren Sarner wrote, “Each scene crackles with tension since you never know what will happen next, and anything is possible. Some plot questions get answered while others get raised.”
“Severance” is set at the mysterious Lumon Industries, specifically on the “severed” floor, where employees who opt to be severed work. They’ve undergone a procedure that essentially splits their brains: at work, they’re one person (an “innie”) and at home, a completely different one (an “outie”) and never will the two cross. Work stays at work, home stays at home. But things at Lumon are not quite what they seem, and the Macrodata Refinement team inched closer to getting to the bottom of things as Season 1 reached an abrupt end.
Season 2 of “Severance” will be released every week; new episodes hit Apple TV+ every Friday.
“Severance” Season 2 premieres on Friday, January 17. However, Apple TV+ will often release new episodes the night before their listed premiere dates so it’s likely you’ll be able to watch “Severance” as early as 9:00 p.m. ET tonight.
Apple has not confirmed this, though series executive producer and director Ben Stiller posted on X that he believes this is the case.
Severance airs exclusively on Apple TV+. If you are not currently subscribed to the streamer, you can take advantage of a seven-day free trial before the $9.99/month payments begin. Apple TV+ has one streaming plan available and it is always ad-free.
Yes! Prime Video gives subscribers the option to add additional streaming services to their existing accounts. One of those add-on channels is Apple TV+; for the same monthly price and free trial length, you can watch Apple titles like “Severance” directly inside the Prime Video app.
You can expect to see these familiar faces when “Severance” returns.
Joining in Season 2 as regulars are:
Gwendoline Christie, Alia Shawkat, Bob Balaban, Merrit Wever, Robby Benson, Stefano Carannante, and John Noble are all set to appear in guest or recurring roles in “Severance” Season 2.
Praise Kier! “Severance” Season 2 will have 10 episodes, one more than the nine-episode first season. As we noted above, Apple TV+ often drops episodes the evening before the listed release date; below, see all of the episodes with their listed release dates, but remember, you may be able to watch the episodes early.
