Praise Kier! Severance Season 2 is nearly here.
It’s been almost three years since the Season 1 finale of Apple TV+‘s hit workplace thriller shook fans to their cores, so it’s high time Mark (Adam Scott), Helly (Britt Lower), Dylan (Zach Cherry), and Irving (John Turturro) return to office, don’t you think?
When we last left Lumon’s severed employees, Dylan had trigged the Overtime Contingency, allowing his fellow MDR innies to inhabit the bodies of their outies in a risky whistleblowing attempt. Per Apple TV+, in Season 2 of Dan Erickson’s acclaimed series, “Mark and his friends learn the dire consequences of trifling with the severance barrier, leading them further down a path of woe.”
In an interview with Decider, Erickson teased even more trouble ahead, explaining, “We had a victory at the end of Season 1 for the innies, but at Lumon, there is no victory without pain. So get ready for some pain.”
