At long last, Severance has resumed production on Season 2. Apple TV+ confirmed the news with a typically cryptic image of Adam Scott's Mark. S running down what appears to be a Lumon hallway. While we all speculate about what that could possibly mean, keep reading to learn everything we currently know about Severance Season 2.
On Jan. 29, Apple TV+ posted an enigmatic still of Mark S. (Adam Scott) on social media to announce that Severance has resumed production on Season 2, which was delayed for months due to the writers and actors strikes. Director Ben Stiller confirmed the news, writing, "Back to work." On Instagram, Scott added, "Lovely being back at the office."
Even with production resuming, there's no word on when we'll get to see new episodes. Stiller even told us to prepare for a long hiatus in April 2022, recommending that we all collectively choose patience after being asked by a fan on X (formerly Twitter) how long the wait would be. "Hope you can hang in!" he wrote.
Patricia Arquette gave similar advice in January 2023, telling Entertainment Tonight, "You'll get it when you get it. And you won't get upset."
We have no idea yet! Creator Dan Erickson didn't reveal much at the Severance Comic-Con panel in 2022, saying only that Season 2 would focus on "building out the world a little bit more, and with this tweak to reality, what the ramifications would be." And when asked whether the show will explain what the deal is with the goats, Erickson simply replied, "Yeah." Great!
Apple TV+ has confirmed that all the severed and un-severed Lumon employees from the first season, including Adam Scott, Patricia Arquette, John Turturro, Christopher Walken, Britt Lower, Tramell Tillman, Zach Cherry, and Dichen Lachman, will return for Season 2.
Apple TV+ also revealed that eight new cast members will join the ensemble, appearing in undisclosed roles: Gwendoline Christie, Bob Balaban, Merritt Wever, Alia Shawkat, Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, John Noble, Robby Benson, and Stefano Carannante.
Severance Season 1 is now streaming on Apple TV+.
