‘Severance’ Returns: Season 2 Premiere Delivers Intense Mystery Inside Lumon Industries

Showrunner Dan Erickson discusses the long-awaited return of Apple TV+'s psychological thriller, offering insights into the show's mysterious workplace drama and hints at future revelations

After a three-year hiatus and the dramatic cliffhanger of its first season, Apple TV+’s popular show Severance has made its highly awaited return. The second season starts with an episode called “Hello Ms. Cobel,” which surprisingly centers on the strange split floor of Lumon Industries. This deliberate choice prolongs the tension surrounding the fallout from the Season 1 finale.

According to Milchick, Lumon’s devoted middle manager, the premiere starts with Mark’s return to work about five months after the conclusion of the previous season. For the “innies,” the version of the workers focused only on work; no time has passed since their bold rebellion with the Overtime Contingency Protocol (OTC).

Dan Erickson, the author and head of the show, explained why they decided to keep the episode only inside Lumon. “I’ve always wanted to make an episode that is completely innie or outie,” Erickson said. “It better reflects how the characters feel.” He recognized that this method creates suspense, making viewers think about the effects of Season 1’s discoveries.

The second season introduces interesting new features, including a child boss named Ms. Huang, played by Sarah Bock. Erickson pointed out that the hiring was intentional, explaining, “Lumon always wants to seem like the good guy, and it’s really tough to dislike a child.” The young actor wowed the team with her ability to be both nice and a little mysterious.

Season 2 continues to investigate one of the show’s biggest mysteries: the link between Mark’s wife, Gemma, who was thought to be dead, and Ms. Casey, who works at Lumon. The premiere suggests a connection when Mark sees Gemma’s face momentarily while working with data. This hints that her situation may be related to Lumon’s mysterious Cold Harbor project.

The show focuses on the idea of watching employees at work. Erickson compared Lumon’s monitoring to “the Eye of Sauron.” He said the company can watch its workers anytime, but it doesn’t mean they always watch.

Erickson told fans that Severance has a clear plan for the future. “We have a final goal for the series, and we have a good idea of how many seasons there will be,” he said. Although most of Season 3 is planned out, Erickson noted that the team can still make changes as the story develops. He also promised that big questions would be addressed, but these answers might lead to even bigger secrets.

The premiere’s emphasis on Lumon heightens expectations for the second season, which looks to be just as exciting. Viewers can look forward to more surprises and discoveries as ideas about identity, corporate power, and awareness develop. Erickson couldn’t say if Season 3 will take less time, but he thinks things could go quicker since the show is already well-developed.

Severance fans have waited years for this return, and the Season 2 premiere sets the stage for a gripping story continuation.
