Apple TV+’s Severance Season 1 concluded with a huge cliffhanger in 2022 and fans have eagerly awaited the second season. After a significant delay due to various issues, it’s finally time for Severance fans to rejoice because the second season has a confirmed release date.

Severance Season 2 is all set to premiere on January 17 and the episodes will be released weekly. As the Lumon’s employees return to the screen after making an extremely risky whistleblowing attempt at the end of season 1, let us now explore the episode details of season 2, including when they will air and where to watch them.

When does Severance Season 2 air?

Severance Season 2 is all set to premiere on Apple TV+ on January 17, 2025. The second season will have 10 episodes, which is one episode more than the first season.

The 10 episodes of Severance Season 2 will be dropped weekly, every Friday, post the premiere, which means it will be March when the last episode drops. Here is the weekly episode schedule of Severance Season 2 for better understanding of the viewers

Apple TV+ tends to drop new episodes at 9 pm ET the night before the actual release date, per Decider, and therefore fans can get early access to the episode if they keep their eyes on the screen from Thursday. However, it is not certain that Apple TV+ will do this for Severance Season 2 but it never hurts to take the chance for early viewing.

What will Severance Season 2 be about?

Severance Season 1 followed the Lumon employees as they figured out that something sinister was going on and the motivation behind them being severed was not just to separate their grieving self from them.

In an intensely thrilling turn of events, the final episodes of season 1 saw Mark realizing his wife is not dead as he had been led to believe. Helly also discovers that her life outside the office is something completely different from what she could have ever imagined.

Finally, the Lumon employees decide it's time to expose the company and before season 1 ends their inner and outer selves are seen to be coming together.

As per Apple TV+ in season 2,

“Mark and his friends learn the dire consequences of trifling with the severance barrier, leading them further down a path of woe.”

Dan Erickson, the series creator talked to Decider about Severance Season 2 and said,

“We had a victory at the end of Season 1 for the innies, but at Lumon, there is no victory without pain. So get ready for some pain.”

This means things are about to get even more twisted and tense in the second season and fans can expect to be on the edge of their seats all through the 10 episodes.
