Adam Scott stars in the Ben Stiller-produced series about employees of a corporation who've undergone a procedure to separate their work memories from the rest of their lives.

After three long years off the clock, Dan Erickson's corporate thriller returns with a knotty new season as impressive for how much it untangles as it is for what can't be so simply straightened out.

There were reasons to worry about a "Severance" sophomore slump. Foremost, the Ben Stiller-backed, 2022 Apple TV+ series was such a brilliantly realized paranoid thriller/sci-fi satire of the work-life balance illusion -- recreating its first season magic would be a herculean task under the best circumstances.

Now, the lauded Apple TV+ drama from creator Dan Erickson returns with a briskly paced sophomore season that refines its many themes into a timely, rewarding, and challenging debate about the power and parameters of personhood.

The three-year wait is over as Severance returns to Apple TV+ for its sophomore season later this month. While many shows would suffer from a long hiatus, Severance Season 2 is not one of those programs,

When it premiered in 2022, Apple TV+'s surreal workplace show was a hit. Now it's finally back – and from the playful storytelling to the layered performances, there's a lot to savour.

The characters on "Severance" - at least, the "innie" versions of them - don't experience time like the rest of us. Innies exist only on a subterranean floor in the headquarters of Lumon Industries, a company that splits some employees' consciousness into a work self and a not-work self.

The second season of Severance is almost here, and it's funnier, more exciting, and more mind-bendingly weird than ever.
