Severance Season 2 Finally Gets 2025 Premiere Date and Teaser – IGN

At long last, we have a premiere date for the second season of Severance — although it’s not until next year.

Apple TV+ announced on Wednesday that the first episode of Severance Season 2 will premiere on the streaming platform on Friday, January 17, 2025, followed by one episode every Friday through March 21, 2025. We also got a quick, 40-second teaser for the 10-episode season (watch it here), which sees a number of familiar faces back at Lumon.

You can read Apple TV+’s official synopsis of Severance, which includes a tease about where we might find Adam Scott’s Mark and company after the events of Season 1, below:

In “Severance,” 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. 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.

Today’s release date reveal has been a long time coming. Severance became a huge hit for Apple TV+ when it debuted back in February 2022, with Apple TV+ quickly renewing it for a second season ahead of its first season finale.

While Season 2 began filming last year, it was one of many TV shows to halt production amid the writers’ strike last May, and it would also be affected the the subsequent actors’ strike. Much to the delight of fans, executive producer Ben Stiller confirmed that it was “back to work” this past January, and it wrapped in April.

In addition to Scott, Severance Season 2 will also welcome back Britt Lower, Tramell Tillman, Zach Cherry, Jen Tullock, Michael Chernus, Dichen Lachman, John Turturro, Christopher Walken, and Patricia Arquette, along with new series regular Sarah Bock.

While you wait, check out our review of the series premiere, which we gave a 9/10: “Director Ben Stiller and star Adam Scott deliver a disturbing examination of the abuses of office culture in Apple TV+’s Severance,” we wrote at the time.
