‘Severance’ Season 2 Debuts with High Expectations and Record Budget

The critically acclaimed Apple TV+ series returns after three years, exploring deeper mysteries and relationships in its surreal workplace setting.

The second season of 'Severance' premieres on January 17, 2025, on Apple TV+, following a three-year hiatus since its debut season in 2022.
The show, created by Dan Erickson and directed in part by Ben Stiller, continues its exploration of identity and work-life separation through a dystopian corporate setting.
With a production budget of $200 million, Season 2 is one of the most expensive TV productions, surpassing even blockbuster films like 'Top Gun: Maverick.'
New plot elements include mysterious changes at Lumon Industries, new characters, and heightened tension as the 'innies' and 'outies' navigate their divided lives.
The performances, particularly by Adam Scott, Britt Lower, Patricia Arquette, and John Turturro, have been widely praised for adding emotional depth to the series' surreal narrative.
