In the piece, Anthony Breznican dives deep into a variety of details related to the hit series.Expect to see significant tensions surface between characters’ innies and outies: The first season of Severance was pretty dark already, but the show’s creator Dan Erickson is teasing an even darker sophomore outing: One season 2 event that may take things in an especially bizarre direction: a Lumon corporate retreat.Apparently the “core Innie team ventures away from their macrodata refinement department for a field trip to a snowy landscape.” Stiller teases: “Corporate retreats are interesting.
You’re always having to think a few steps ahead in terms of how Lumon is trying to control their employees with their company ethos.There’s other team-building exercises and dynamics that I think ultimately have a different agenda.” Why it took so long to make another season When asked about the nearly three-year gap between Severance’s first and second seasons, both Erickson and Stiller chimed in.The answer is essentially a combination of two things: them being perfectionists who wanted to take all the time they needed to get things right, and also some unfortunate delays from Hollywood’s strikes.
Erickson says: Stiller adds: The full interview is well worth a read for fans of Severance.Severance season 2 will debut with its first episode on Friday, January 17.You can watch the entire first season now on Apple TV+.
