Severance go back to Apple television in January for its sophomore season.
Severance was among the most talked-about television series of 2022, getting extensive crucial recognition. We enjoyed the series a lot that Ars staffers in fact composed a group evaluation so that everybody might weigh in with their ideas on the very first season, pronouncing it “among the very best programs on television.” Needless to state, we have actually been excitedly waiting for the 2nd season next month.

S2 will naturally face the fallout from their quick mutiny. Per the main property:
