Trippy Severance Season 2 Trailer Teases Inner Rebellion

Severance is making a highly-anticipated comeback to Apple TV this January with its second season. The show was a massive hit in 2022, winning over critics and audiences alike. We at Ars loved it so much that our team put together a group review praising it as one of the top TV shows out there. Needless to say, we’ve been counting down the days until Season 2 premieres next month. Prime Video just unveiled the official trailer at CCXP24 in São Paulo, Brazil, and it looks like fans are in for a wild ride.

For those who may need a Season 1 recap (spoilers ahead!), Severance takes place in a world where people can split their work and personal lives with a unique procedure from Lumon Industries. Employees can separate into “innies” (work selves) and “outies” (personal selves) without any memories shared between them. This division proves beneficial for characters like Mark, played by Adam Scott, who has been dealing with personal tragedy. But, as expected, things took a dark turn in Season 1 due to this process.

The first season finale left us on the edge of our seats, with Lumon employees making a daring escape to explore their personal lives. Season 2 promises to delve into the fallout from their escape attempt. The official premise reads: “Mark Scout leads a team at Lumon Industries, whose employees have undergone a unique severance procedure. This experiment in ‘work-life balance’ comes under scrutiny as Mark unravels a mystery that forces him to confront his work and true self.”

The trailer hints at the rebels facing consequences for their actions but also highlights them as the face of “severance reform,” gaining media attention that offers some protection—for now. Mark, in particular, discovers shocking truths about his outie’s life, leading to a series of events that none of them could have anticipated. Season 2 sets the stage for a riveting continuation of the story, exploring the dangers of tampering with the severance barrier.

Get ready to be glued to your screens, as Season 2 of Severance premieres on Apple TV+ on January 17, 2025. So, mark your calendars, grab some popcorn, and get ready for the next chapter in this mind-bending series.
