Apple TV+ wasted no time renewing Severance for Season 2, thanks to its immense popularity. But there's one more thing that played an important role.

"Severance" Season 2 premiered Thursday night after a nearly three-year delay from the first season's release. The anticipation is high, and viewers will likely be following each episode closely to unpack the mystery of Lumon and its Severed workers.

Severance season 2 has officially begun and things have never been more mysterious at Lumon. The hit sci-fi show picks up in the wake of that nail-biting season 1 cliffhanger, but it seems we won't be getting any quick answers about what is really going on.

“Severance” Season 2 premieres on Friday, January 17. However, Apple TV+ will often release new episodes the night before their listed premiere dates so it’s likely you’ll be able to watch “Severance” as early as 9:00 p.m. ET tonight.

Severance season 2 premiered on Apple TV+ on Friday 17th January, with episodes set to be released weekly every Friday. Sign up to Apple TV+ now.
