The premise of Severance Season 2 is interesting, to say the least.
The supernatural-flavored television show has proven to be a bonafide hit for Apple TV+ and focuses on the employees of the fictional Lumon Industries.
But these employees aren’t just your everyday middle managers.
Rather, the Lumon Industries employees have undergone a procedure that separates their business memories from their personal memories.
Directed by Ben Stiller and featuring an all-star cast, season 2 of the show was confirmed last week by the streamer ahead of the finale.
“It’s really exciting to see the response from people who are loving the show — and the level of fan engagement,” Stiller said in a statement received by S&A. “It has been a long road bringing Severance to television. I first read Dan [Erickson]’s pilot over five years ago. It has always been a multi-season story, and I’m really happy we get to continue it. I’m grateful to our partners at Apple TV+ who have been behind it the whole way. Praise Keir!”
And though the second season doesn’t have an official premiere date, the returning cast was confirmed in the season 2 announcement.
Let’s take a look at the cast who has been confirmed to return to Severance Season 2 — and we’ll keep you posted on any future announcements!
