The Severance Season 2 Apple TV+ streaming release date is fast approaching, and viewers are wondering when they can start streaming the series. Severance is an American sci-fi psychological thriller TV series.

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.

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,

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 premieres Friday, January 17 on Apple TV+. New episodes debut on Fridays, culminating with the finale on March 21.

If you feel like you’ve had your memory surgically wiped since you last saw Severance, it’s understandable. It’s been nearly three years since the Apple TV+ sci-fi series first burst onto the scene with one of the most thrillingly original concepts in years.

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 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.

Three years is an absurd amount of time to wait for a new season of TV. That’s triply true when the TV show in question is Severance, a series whose near-flawless first season left us on the steepest and sharpest of cliffhangers.
