The sci-fi thriller surpasses Ted Lasso in viewership during its second season, driving record-breaking subscriber growth for the platform.

Severance has officially surpassed Ted Lasso as Apple TV+'s most-watched series globally, based on unique viewers from January 17 to February 17, 2025.
The second season premiere fueled a 126% increase in new Apple TV+ subscriptions compared to the previous month, marking the platform's largest subscriber growth to date.
The show ranked fourth on Nielsen's Top 10 Originals chart during the week of its Season 2 debut, with 589 million minutes viewed across all episodes in the U.S.
Apple invested heavily in promoting the series, including an innovative marketing campaign featuring a pop-up event in New York's Grand Central Terminal and a free streaming weekend.
Season 3 of Severance is already in development, with its creators aiming to maintain the show's momentum while avoiding prolonged gaps between seasons.
