Rated 4.4 out of 5 by AlloCiné viewers, this sci-fi series has become a word-of-mouth and critically acclaimed phenomenon, considered one of the best television productions of recent years.
Its success brought it many nominations and awards thanks to its first episodes, which captivated its audience with its captivating plot and many twists and turns.
Created by Dan Erickson and produced by Ben Stiller, Severance follows Mark Scout (Adam Scott) who works at Lumon Industries. The employees of this company all underwent a surgical operation to separate their memories related to their professional life from the memories related to their personal life, which is called “dissociation”.
This risky experiment in work-life balance is challenged when Mark finds himself at the center of a mystery that forces him to confront the true nature of his work…and himself.
A large community of fans wanted to discover a sequel, three years after its first season aired. And the day has finally arrived: here’s all the information on Severance Season 2.
Where and when is “Severance” season 2 coming out?
Season 2 of Severance finally begins airing this January 17th with the first episode on Apple TV+. The remainder of the season (consisting of 10 episodes) will air one episode per week until March 21.
Who is in the cast of ‘Severance’ Season 2?
In addition to Adam Scott, the cast for the second round of Severance episodes will include Britt Lauer, Trammell Tillman, Zach Cherry, Jen Tulloch, Michael Chernus, Dichen Lachman, John Turturro, Christopher Walken and Patricia Arquette, as well as Sara. Bock and Ólafur Darí Ólafsson, who joins the cast.
What is the plot of the second season of “The Breakup”?
The first season of Severance ended with major revelations as Mark and his team put themselves on a dangerous path to uncover the company’s secrets and expose them. And the second season, which they have been waiting for three years, will reveal the results of their rebellion.
The Lumon company will undergo a major turning point in its history, and its leaders will do everything to keep themselves in the public eye, so that Mark and his team appear as the faces of the new dissociation reform, but punish them in private.
But the latter is willing to do anything to escape and learn more about what really happened to his wife Gemma… In this second season, Mark and his team learn the hard way that you can’t joke about the limits of dissociation.
What can we expect from “Severance” season 2?
This second season of Severance promises to be even more exciting if Ben Stiller is to be believed, explaining that the tension between the two Marks will be even higher:
“We felt like we needed to bring that same energy to Season 2 and really explore the important questions that Ini Mark and Outi Mark have. And I think the show has always been about that tension between the two sides of it.
In the second season, it is very clear that Ini Mark and Outi Mark have different plans in life, as Ini Mark has a relationship with Helly and his colleagues in Lumon, and Outi Mark tries to find a wife. That tension is really a big spark for the season.”
The producer specifies that viewers will get many answers to burning questions about Lumon and what is behind the series: “What is everyone doing there? What does that have to do with it? What are they doing on their keyboard? We tried to work on bringing all those aspects together.”.
