SUMMARY
- Severance season 2 is confirmed despite production delays caused by strikes, leaving fans eagerly awaiting a release date from Apple TV+.
- The cast of Severance season 2 will feature returning actors Adam Scott and Patricia Arquette, as well as new cast additions including Gwendoline Christie and Alia Shawkat.
- The story of Severance season 2 will continue the rebellion of the innies against Lumon Corporation, exploring the mysteries surrounding the company and its Severance Chips. Helena Eagan may emerge as the main antagonist.
Severance season 2 is on the way to Apple TV+, although despite being confirmed for a while the future of the show is still uncertain. Created by Dan Erickson and produced by Ben Stiller, the first season of Severance ended on a dramatic cliffhanger, which more than set up season 2. Severance gradually revealed its dystopian science fiction world, in which the cult-like Lumon Corporation uses a technology called Severance to separate an employee's memories and personalities into two: an innie for the workplace, and an outie for the outside world, with both having no access to the other's experiences.
Severance was a breakout success for Apple TV+, thanks in no small part to the intriguing and mysterious premise spawning a number of Severance fan theories. Severance saw the four severed innies of the Macro-Data Refinement department grow more curious and resentful of the system they are a part of. However, the first chapter of the story was clearly just the beginning as nothing was close to being resolved where the show left off, meaning anticipation for the delayed Severance season 2 remains incredibly high. . .
Severance Season 2 Story
There haven't been any concrete reveals regarding the Severance season 2 story, but the first season left some teases to set it up. The final episode of Severance season 1 sees the innies gain control of themselves outside the office using the Overtime Contingency built into their Lumon Severance Chips. Their actions in the world will be hard to undo, including Mark telling his sister Devon about the abuse going on at Lumon, Helly — who's apparently an Eagan — publicly denouncing Severance at a Lumon gala, and Irving trying to meet up with Burt. Cobel promised Helly punishment for her actions, and Severance season 2 is likely to see Lumon trying to respond to MDR's rebellion without compromising their outies.
There are also a number of mysteries surrounding Lumon that Severance season 2 could shed more light on. These include what happened to Mark's wife Gemma, who reappeared in the Lumon workspace as Ms. Casey, why Lumon has a room of baby goats in Severance, and the company's larger ambitions with the Severance Chips, hinted at in Helly's conversation with her father.
Severance season 2 could also explore more of its outies' lives, including the bizarre clues regarding Irving's outside life. Moreover, in Severance creator Dan Erickson's Reddit AMA on April 2022, while fielding viewer questions, Erickson implied that Helena Eagan would be the villain of Severance season 2, and that there might be levels to the Severance procedure.
