Season 2 of Severance has been confirmed. Very little is known about the future of the Apple TV+ series, but Stiller had this to say in August 2022: “I think that the biggest thing is how to maintain all those things in terms of the feeling of the show, while at the same time expanding the world since the end of the last episode,” he told Variety.

“We’ve brought Mark and Irving and Helly to the surface, and I think those are storylines that people are going to be interested in. So, it’s going to be figuring out that balance. We’re writing and prepping right now to shoot in October.” Stay tuned to Showbiz Cheat Sheet for the latest updates regarding the new season of Severance. 

‘Severance’ creator was inspired by being bored at work 

Dan Erickson, the creator of Severance, came up with the idea for the show as he was wishing for his work day to end. “That was a scary thing to catch yourself wishing for,” he told The Hollywood Reporter. “I want less time on this precious Earth.”

This inspired the idea for Lumon’s employees, who undergo a procedure that separates their non-work minds from their work minds. Throughout the first season, Mark S. (Scott) uncovers a sinister conspiracy and tries to understand who he is and, moreover, what Lumon does.
