Adam Scott stars in the Ben Stiller-produced series about employees of a corporation who've undergone a procedure to separate their work memories from the rest of their lives.

If you feel like you’ve had your memory surgically wiped since you last saw Severance, it’s understandable. It’s been nearly three years since the Apple TV+ sci-fi series first burst onto the scene with one of the most thrillingly original concepts in years.

Severance season 2 premieres Friday, January 17 on Apple TV+. New episodes debut on Fridays, culminating with the finale on March 21.

There were reasons to worry about a "Severance" sophomore slump. Foremost, the Ben Stiller-backed, 2022 Apple TV+ series was such a brilliantly realized paranoid thriller/sci-fi satire of the work-life balance illusion -- recreating its first season magic would be a herculean task under the best circumstances.
