Severance Season 2: Release Date, Trailer, Cast, and Everything You Need to Know

At long last, we know when Severance Season 2 will premiere. Apple TV+ has finally given us what we've wanted (a premiere date and a teaser), but the bad news is that we won't be seeing new episodes until early next year. While you settle in to spend the next few months theorizing about all that's coming, be sure to keep reading to learn everything we currently know about Severance Season 2.

Severance Season 2 release date

In July, Apple TV+ announced that Severance Season 2 will premiere on Friday, Jan. 17, 2025. Episodes will be released weekly, with the finale airing on March 21, 2025.

The news comes long after director and executive producer Ben Stiller told a fan in 2022 to prepare for a long hiatus, recommending that we all collectively choose patience after being asked by a fan on X (formerly Twitter) how long the wait would be. "Hope you can hang in!" he wrote.

Patricia Arquette gave similar advice in January 2023, telling Entertainment Tonight, "You'll get it when you get it. And you won't get upset."

Severance Season 2 teasers

In tandem with the premiere date announcement, Apple TV+ unveiled the first Severance Season 2 teaser. Clocking in at exactly 40 seconds, it gives only a brief look at what the members of the severed floor are up to, and ends on a very menacing Gwendoline Christie saying, "You should've left."

In June, Apple TV+ bundled our first look at Severance Season 2 in with a video teasing its upcoming programming. The brief clips show Mr. Milchick (Tramell Tillman) welcoming Mark S. (Adam Scott) back to Lumon. "Been a minute," Milchick says, in the understatement of the century.

What will happen in Severance Season 2?

The Apple TV+ press release announcing the premiere date also came with a short, vague description: "In Season 2, Mark (played by Scott) and his friends learn the dire consequences of trifling with the severance barrier, leading them further down a path of woe."

The details are, predictably, being kept quiet. Creator Dan Erickson didn't reveal much at the Severance Comic-Con panel in 2022, saying only that Season 2 would focus on "building out the world a little bit more, and with this tweak to reality, what the ramifications would be." And when asked whether the show will explain what the deal is with the goats, Erickson simply replied, "Yeah." Great!

Who will be in Severance Season 2?

Apple TV+ has confirmed that all the severed and un-severed Lumon employees from Season 1, including Adam Scott, Patricia Arquette, John Turturro, Christopher Walken, Britt Lower, Tramell Tillman, Zach Cherry, and Dichen Lachman, will return for the second season. Sarah Bock will also join Season 2 as a series regular in an undisclosed role.

It was also revealed that eight new cast members will join the ensemble, appearing in undisclosed roles: Gwendoline Christie, Bob Balaban, Merritt Wever, Alia Shawkat, Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, John Noble, Robby Benson, and Stefano Carannante.
