Audiences are expected to return to Lumon Industries on Friday, January 17, 2025, as Apple TV+ announces the return of its smash-hit series, Severance. The follow-up season will consist of 10 episodes with one new installment dropping weekly through March 21, 2025. Adam Scott (Party Down) is set to reprise his role as Mark, with the return of the critically celebrated ensemble which includes Britt Lower (Man Seeking Woman), Tramell Tillman (Dietland), Zach Cherry (Fallout), Jen Tullock (Perry Mason), Michael Chernus (Orange is the New Black), Dichen Lachman (Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes), John Turturro (The Big Lebowski), Christopher Walken (Dune: Part Two), and Patricia Arquette (The Act).
Along with the exciting release update, viewers are also invited to enjoy a sneak peek of Severance’s sophomore season. As a voiceover pledges their devotion to the company, the main characters can be seen heading in for another day of work at the biotechnology company. What follows are bits and pieces of what’s to come for Mark and the rest of his pals who dared to disturb the severance barrier.
Emmy Award-winner Ben Stiller will return to Severance as its director and executive producer, the latter of which he’ll be joined in by the show’s creator and writer, Dan Erickson.
