Severanceheads, get ready to return to Lumon in just over one month. Apple TV+ has shared the first trailer forSeveranceSeason 2, which is coming to Apple TV+ on January 17. It’s been nearly three years since the first season ofSeveranceconcluded on Apple TV+, and aftera troubling production that led to countless delaysand many people thinkingSeverancewould never return, it’s safe to say that we’re officially back. The first trailer for Season 2 takes the story in a different direction than perhaps many were expecting; instead of the crew who turned the world upside down by swapping their personalities outside the office being severely punished, they are treated as celebrities and are now the new face of, as Mr. Milchick would say,“severance reform.”
Severancetells the story of office workers at Lumon Industries, a corporation that forces its employees to undergo a mandatory procedure called severance to work at the company. Once a person undergoes the severance procedure, their life is completely split in two, with their work personality and memories being completely cut off from their personal life and memories, and vice versa. Essentially, a person at work has no idea who they are at home, and someone at home has no idea what they do for work. The series was created byDan Erickson, and comedy actorBen Stillerhas directed more episodes ofSeverancethan anyone else. The show won two Emmys in 2022 for Outstanding Main Title Design and Outstanding Music Composition, and Still was nominated for a Television Award for his work directing the episode “The We We Are.”
