Season 2 of Severance, the hit Apple TV+ series, has fans excited with its return. This dark, sci-fi thriller takes us deeper into the secrets of Lumon Industries.

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.

Severance Season 2 is what happens when you stop running. In Severance, Mark Scout (Adam Scott) leads a team of office workers at Lumon Industries. Timeless offices that offer small signifiers plucked from different time periods and work cultures are filled with employees who have undergone a severance procedure that surgically divides their memories between their work and personal 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.

We get more mysteries and less answers in Season 2 of 'Severance,' but it's still a very fun, thoughtful show about the meaning of work.

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.
