‘Severance’ Returns to Work — Whatever That May Be — in Season 2 Teaser Trailer

Attention, refiners: Return to work is imminent.

Apple TV+ unveiled a trailer for Severance season two on Wednesday, teasing Mark Scout’s (Adam Scott) race to uncover the truth about Lumon Industries.

Severance will premiere its 10-episode second season on the streamer on Jan. 17, 2025, followed by one episode every Friday through March 21.

In the trailer, Mark races up and down the barren hallways of the workplace thriller’s dystopian offices, as the rushed voices of season one’s epic finale play overhead. The return will mark two and a half years since the show first premiered in February 2022.

“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,” a press release reads.

In addition to Scott, the show also stars Britt Lower, Tramell Tillman, Zach Cherry, Jen Tullock, Michael Chernus, Dichen Lachman, John Turturro, Christopher Walken and Patricia Arquette. Season two will welcome new series regular Sarah Bock, as well as Gwendoline Christie, Bob Balaban and Merritt Wever.

Severance is executive produced by Ben Stiller, who will direct five episodes this season in addition to directors Uta Bresiewitz, Sam Donovan and Jessica Lee Gagné. The series is written, created and executive produced by Dan Erickson.

Season one of the series earned 14 Emmy Award nominations, including for best drama series, best directing and a nod for Scott’s lead actor. The series also earned two Writers Guild trophies, as well as two Screen Actors Guild nominations, a nod from the Producers Guild and the Directors Guild.
