After a three year sabbatical, the severed workers of Lumon Industries are returning for Season 2. Directed by Ben Stiller, the dystopian thriller premieres with two new episodes this Friday, Jan. 17 on Apple TV+.

The second season of Severance debuts Jan. 17 on Apple TV+. Season 2 of Severance will contain 10 episodes. This is one more than Season 1’s count of nine.

Severance season 2 is finally back after three years, and it was well worth the wait. The Apple TV+ workplace drama—which explores an alternate reality where one can physically separate their personal life from their work life—successfully builds upon the first season while recapturing the thrilling twists of its memorable season 1 finale.

Severance keeps its cards tight to its chest, and everyone working on the show is committed to avoiding spoilers and protecting the experience for audiences

"Severance" Season 2 premieres this week. Here's everything to know about the 10-episode season, releasing three years after the debut season.

Fortunately, “Severance” returns to Apple TV+ on Friday, and its makers seem to have used every second of the absence productively. The season takes new turns while remaining the most ambitious, batty and all-out pleasurable show on TV, an M.C. Escher maze whose plot convolutions never get in the way of its voice, heart and sense of humor.

Severance' Season 1 introduced an interesting concept based on the work life balance and a world of corporate culture unlike any seen before.

Season 1 ended three years ago on a cliffhanger, with the innies staging a rebellion and discovering disturbing truths about their outies. Season 2 picks up in the aftermath. The innies are still at Lumon.
