"Severance" Season 2 premiered Thursday night after a nearly three-year delay from the first season's release. The anticipation is high, and viewers will likely be following each episode closely to unpack the mystery of Lumon and its Severed workers.

In the first episode of the second season, however, Helly has a different story for her friends. Instead of telling them who she is on the outside, she tells them that when she woke up, she was in an apartment by herself.

I’ve already published my full Season 2 (spoiler-free) review. Now, we can dive into each individual episode as they stream every Friday. There’s so much to unpack in each one, I really can’t wait! Let’s start with a brief recap of where we left off back at the end of Season 1.

One clearly doctored photo from the "Severance" Season 2 premiere has us questioning Lumon's claims of severance reform.

Severance season 2 kicks off with episode 1, Hello, Ms. Cobel, and there's so much to talk about. It's been three years since the surreal office drama's 2022 premiere on Apple TV+, but this episode picks up immediately after the previous season's dramatic climax.

Created by Dan Erickson and executive produced by Ben Stiller, “Severance” is a ferociously stylized, wonderfully weird piece of TV retrofuturism.

Ben Stiller's Apple sci fi show about a world with literal separation of work and personal lives has always been trippy. But maybe it gets too weird.

Apple TV+ Severance has finally returned, with a Season 2 premiere that plunges us straight back into the unsettling world of Lumon Industries. And while it's great to be back, it's also downright freaky.
