From director and executive producer Ben Stiller (“Escape at Dannemora,” “Tropic Thunder”), and creator Dan Erickson, “Severance” launched globally on Apple TV+ this past February, and we’ve learned this morning that “Severance” Season 2 has been ordered up.
Adam Scott, Patricia Arquette, Christopher Walken, and John Turturro star in the new Apple TV+ thriller series. The debut season ends this coming Friday, April 8, 2022.
“It’s really exciting to see the response from people who are loving the show — and the level of fan engagement,” Ben Stiller said in a statement shared by Deadline this morning. “It has been a long road bringing ‘Severance’ to television. I first read Dan’s pilot over five years ago. It has always been a multi season story, and I’m really happy we get to continue it. I’m grateful to our partners at Apple TV+ who have been behind it the whole way. Praise Keir!”
Stay tuned for more on “Severance” Season 2 as we learn it. In the series…
“Mark Scout (Adam Scott) leads a team at Lumon Industries, whose employees have undergone a severance procedure, which 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. “
