The delay was caused by several factors, including the 2023 SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes. Recently, Adam Scott addressed the wait, showing he understands fans' frustrations and sharing his excitement for what lies ahead.
Season 1 ended with the severed Lumon employees discovering the unsettling truth about their lives. They launched a daring plan to experience the outside world, leaving fans stunned and craving more.

While Scott kept plot details under wraps, his enthusiasm suggests the next chapter will not disappoint.
The three-year wait has tested the patience of Severance fans, but Adam Scott’s heartfelt apology and his confidence in Season 2’s storytelling are reasons to stay optimistic.
