The best sci-fi thriller of our time finally returns with new pictures – 3 years (!) passed until season 2

Anyone who cannot strictly separate private and professional life will slide into catastrophe. At least that’s how it seems in the grandiose way Sci-fi satire Severance on Apple TV+, which took many hearts by storm in 2022. Thanks to a chip in their heads, the work self and the private self don’t know anything about each other, but the catastrophe comes anyway. New images now indicate what will happen next in the hotly anticipated second season.

Sci-fi thriller Severance has to answer 1000 questions

The pictures from season 2 are part of a Vanity Fair report and have now been distributed on the Internet:

The focus of the Severance story is widower Mark Scout (Adam Scott), who is part of the Macrodata Refinement department at Lumen Industries. To protect sensitive work data, every employee in the department is provided with the chip that can switch between two personalities: The work self (“Innie”) and the private self (“Outie”) know nothing about each other.

But of course not all employees simply accept the strange intervention. And so one day Mark’s outie is confronted by a colleague who wants to uncover her employer’s mysterious ambitions.

Season 1 of the popular series has so far only partially answered the questions arising from this development. It feels like 1000 mysteries still remain unsolved: What’s behind the numbers that Macrodata Refinement processes? And why does Lumen have a baby goat section? These are just two superficial examples of many, many mysteries. So it’s high time for an explanation.

When is Severance Season 2 coming to Apple TV+?

The second season of Severance premieres on January 17, 2025 launch on Apple TV+ and has been waiting for almost three full years. Instead of the eight episodes of the first batch, this time there will be at least ten episodes.
