‘Severance’ Season 2 trailer: Adam Scott makes a run for it through Lumon
It’s been a minute, but “Severance” is almost back.
On Wednesday, Apple TV+ dropped the trailer for Season 2 of the Emmy-winning drama, which returns on Friday, Jan. 17, nearly three years after it premiered in February 2022. The trailer sees Mark (Adam Scott) frantically running through Lumon’s pristine white hallways intercut with quick snippets of Season 2 scenes. He eventually arrives at his old workspace, where a new group of people, including one played by Alia Shawkat, have replaced Helly (Britt Lower), Irving (John Turturro), and Dylan (Zach Cherry).

““Welcome back, Marcus,” Seth (Tramell Tillman) says, walking in with a handful of blue balloons with Mark’s face on them. “Been a minute.”
Apple TV+’s sci-fi drama follows Mark Stout, a worker who agrees to sever his life so that his “innie” (the version who works at Lumon Industries in the Macrodata Refinement division) and his “outie” (his home persona who’s grieving the death of his wife) never interact. When we last saw Mark in the Season 1 finale, his two lives were finally starting to become aware of each other, and he learned a shocking secret about his late wife.

Other cast members from the first season include Patricia Arquette as Harmony Cobel, Christopher Walken as Burt Goodman, Jen Tullock as Devon Scout-Hale, Dichen Lachman as Ms. Casey, and Michael Chernus as Ricken Hale.
Besides Shawkat, new Season 2 stars include Sarah Bock, Gwendoline Christie, Bob Balaban, and Merritt Wever.
“Severance” is created, written, and executive-produced by Dan Erickson. Executive producer Ben Stiller returns as a director in the second season, with Sam Donovan and Uta Briesewitz joining him behind the camera.
The sci-fi show received 14 nominations at the 2022 Emmy Awards, including Best Drama Series and acting citations for Scott, Turturro, Walken, and Arquette. It took home two trophies for Best Main Title Design and Best Music Composition for a Series.
Season 2 of “Severance,” which consists of 10 episodes, premieres Friday, Jan. 17 on Apple TV+ with weekly drops through March 21.
