Remember that water cooler conversation starter from Apple TV+ that had everyone talking about their own work-life balance? Well, grab your coffee mug, because “Severance” is clocking back in with some fresh looks at Season 2.
For those who missed the morning memo, “Severance” follows Mark Scout (played by Adam Scott) and his colleagues at Lumon Industries, where employees undergo a procedure that completely separates their work memories from their personal lives – imagine never bringing your home stress to the office, or better yet, never taking work problems home with you. Sound familiar, cubicle warriors?
The new images from Apple TV+ give us a sneak peek at what’s brewing for our favorite office crew when they return on January 17, 2025. Just like that time Corporate rolled out a new timesheet system without warning, these photos hint at some major changes coming to Lumon Industries. The show will continue exploring what happens when that dream of perfect work-life separation might not be all it’s cracked up to be – something we can all relate to after those long quarterly review meetings.
The stakes are getting higher than a Friday deadline, as Mark and his team are about to learn what happens when you start poking holes in the wall between your work self and home self. Apple hints that messing with this separation could have consequences bigger than mixing up the office potluck signup sheet.
For those of us who’ve ever wondered what our work selves get up to when we’re not paying attention (like who really ate that clearly labeled lunch in the break room fridge), the new season promises to dig even deeper into Lumon’s mysterious corridors and the implications of their unique HR policy.
The show returns with weekly episodes every Friday through March 21, giving us all something to look forward to besides casual Friday. And based on these new photos, we might never look at our own office the same way again.
Mark your calendars, set your meeting reminders, and maybe think twice about any unusual workplace wellness programs your HR department suggests in the meantime.
