You’ve waited nearly 3 years for ‘Severance’ season two, but it’s worth it

The highly anticipated second season of Apple TV+’s hit workplace thriller “Severance” will make its global debut on Friday, January 17, 2025.

Fans have eagerly awaited the second season of Apple TV+’s hit “Severance” for nearly three years. The creators, Ben Stiller and Dan Erickson, are well aware of the high expectations and the need to provide satisfying answers to the lingering questions that have captivated the audience.

Anthony Breznican for Vanity Fair:

“I’m excited that we finally are at this place,” Stiller says of Severance’s return to Apple TV+ on January 17. “It’s an interesting process making something like this second season because you now know there’s an audience there that cares. That has been in our minds the entire time: ‘Wow, people really are paying attention to these details.’ My hope is that, when they see this season, there’s an awareness that we’re trying to connect some dots and also leave some dots unconnected and put out some new dots to connect. But also, geez, the dot analogy…”
The show’s first season concluded in April 2022, and Stiller and Erickson are aware that fans have grown impatient for the next chapter. They explain (in classic annual evaluation fashion) that, if they have a flaw…it’s perfectionism. “We do shoot pretty methodically, and we probably don’t turn around as many pages of script per day as a lot of other shows,” Erickson says. “That comes down to just trying to make sure that we get it right.”
Vanity Fair: Severance has generated a devoted fan base who speculate and analyze episodes on a forensic basis for clues about the nature of Lumon Industries and the broader meaning of the show. What directions will season two explore?
Erickson: I think things get darker. We very much wanted to put our heroes in a scarier place because season one ends with them poking the bear. They form this little rebellion, and they’re able to achieve a modicum of success with it, but the question with season two was: What happens when the bear pokes back? What’s the fallout of this victory that they had? I think, without giving much away, the fallout is dire.
