Severance returns to Apple TV+ on Januray 17 for a second season.

The psychological sci-fi thriller follows Mark Scout (Adam Scott) who leads a team at Lumon Industries, where the employees (including Mark) have all elected to undergo a ‘severance procedure’ that surgically divides their memories between their work and personal lives.

This daring experiment in “work-life balance” is called into question as Mark finds himself at the center of an unraveling mystery that will force him to confront the true nature of his work … and of himself.

Season 1 ended with Mark and his colleagues in a daring bid to uncover their lost memories, and one of the quartet discovering they are much more than just another Lumon employee.

Apple TV teases that in season two, Mark and his friends learn the dire consequences of trifling with the severance barrier, leading them further down a path of woe.

Severance also stars Britt Lower, Tramell Tillman, Zach Cherry, Jen Tullock, Michael Chernus, Dichen Lachman, John Turturro, Christopher Walken and Patricia Arquette

Season 2 welcomes new series regulars Sarah Bock and Ólafur Darri Ólafsson.

The series is executive produced by Ben Stiller, who also directs five episodes this season, in addition to directors Uta Briesewitz, Sam Donovan and Jessica Lee Gagné.
