Season 1 of Severance, the science-fiction psychological thriller, ended on a cliffhanger, so luckily, it has been confirmed to return for Season 2. The series, starring Adam Scott and directed by Ben Stiller and Aoife McArdle, follows an employee of a fictional corporation who agrees to separate his non-work memories from his work memories. However, things get a little sketchy when an employee disappears, and Mark (Scott) uncovers some dangerous conspiracies at his workplace, Lumon.

What is the plot of Severance Season 2?

Show creator Dan Erickson revealed, “In season two, we’re going to be showing all of these people on the outside. Similar to Mark, they each had their own reason for getting this procedure, and they’re all at some stage of a healing process for one thing or another… Being able to take what Adam did in the first season—with the differentiation between his Innie and Outie, and how they feel like the same person but with this vastly different lived experience—seeing the other three characters’ version of that dichotomy is, I think, the most exciting part.”

Stiller added, “There is this growing connection between Mark and Helly happening during the season, and then on the outside, Mark is trying to get over his wife’s death—and then we’re going to find out that his wife is still alive. To put him in this position where the Innie Mark, we’re starting to root for him and Helly, but now we also want to root for Outie Mark to find his wife. That’s an interesting juxtaposition and conflict we’ll explore in the second season.”
