Apple TV+ has released a teaser trailer for the workplace thriller Severance Season 2, and as you’ll see, it radiates some creepy unsettling vibes.
It’s been more than two years since Season 1 left off with that cliffhanger, but the show is finally coming back, and this is our first look.
At the end of Season 1 employees Mark, Helly, Dylan, and Irving managed to break their consciousnesses out of the confines of their office, and were starting to piece together who they are in the real world.
Adam Scott stars in the series as Mark Scout, who works a desk job at a mysterious biotech company known as Lumon. The controversial corporation performs procedures in which employees’ psyches are bifurcated to separate work memories from personal memories, creating Innies (employees’ at-work personas) and Outties (their selves outside of the office).
Patricia Arquette stars as the manager of the severed employees, as well as Mark’s next-door neighbor. As the show progresses, Mark makes curious discoveries that call into question the intentions of the company.
The Season 2 logline reads: “Mark (Scott) and his friends learn the dire consequences of trifling with the severance barrier, leading them further down a path of woe.”
The rest of the cast includes Zach Cherry, Britt Lower, Tramell Tillman, Jen Tullock, Dichen Lachman, Michael Chernus, John Turturro and Christopher Walken.
New members of the cast include Alia Shawkat, Gwendoline Christie, Merritt Wever, Bob Balaban, Robby Benson, Stefano Carannate, John Noble and Ólafur Darri Ólafsson.
Season 2 will consist of 10 episodes and it’s set to premiere on Apple TV+ on Friday, January 17.
