Slowly but surely, Apple TV is climbing the ladder of success in terms of content production. Last year has been one of their most productive years, with both quantity and quality screaming success. “Severance” became one of the most appreciated stepping stones for that.
As the first season is streaming on the platform, it has an 8.7 rating on IMDb and 97% on Rotten Tomatoes, quite beloved, and that’s even reflected in the stats. It also gathered a plethora of Emmy nominations, including one for Outstanding Drama Series.
Fans were quite excited to get some form of updates from the makers about the future of the series, and they knocked on the doors of Ben Stiller, who shed some positive light.
On Twitter, Stiller, the director, and executive producer of the show confirmed that they have started working on the next installment of the show.
Starting streaming in April 2022, Apple TV teased the future season as they posted a photo of Adam Scott, the heartbeat of the show.
“Severance” follows the employees of Lumon Industries, a company where a mysterious procedure separates their work and personal memories. Adam Scott’s character, Mark, navigates the blurred lines between reality and illusion, uncovering dark secrets. Unlike most office dramas, this doesn’t take the comedy route and goes deep into human psychology.
The strike did cause a delay in terms of the production of the show, but as everything is back on track, viewers can expect a 2024 release, probably in the latter half of the year.
