Severance Season 2 Trailer
Unfortunately, there is no trailer for Severance Season 2 available yet. If the show sticks to a late 2024 release, fans can likely expect a trailer to drop about a month before the premiere.
However, Apple TV+ did tease a brief glimpse of Season 2 footage in a recent sizzle reel showcasing their upcoming slate. The clip features Adam Scott’s character Mark Scout excitedly carrying balloons with his face on them through the halls of Lumon Industries.
Severance Season 2 Plot
The Season 1 finale left viewers with a major cliffhanger, so Season 2 is expected to pick up right where the story left off. Fans will likely get more answers about the mysterious Lumon Industries and the severance procedure that separates employees’ work and personal memories.
The new season will also likely explore the fallout from the revelations about Helly’s true identity and the rebellion brewing among the severed employees. With the introduction of several new cast members, Season 2 could introduce new characters and storylines to the unsettling world of Severance.
While details are scarce, the cast and crew have teased that Season 2 will be well worth the wait. Director Ben Stiller has assured fans that the show is on track for its target late 2024 release date, despite some behind-the-scenes challenges. With the first season earning widespread critical acclaim, anticipation is high for the next chapter of this mind-bending sci-fi thriller.
