Severance' Season 1 introduced an interesting concept based on the work life balance and a world of corporate culture unlike any seen before.

In Severance Season 2, Episode 2, one of the biggest questions about the timeline is finally answered. At the end of Season 1, the Innies (the work versions of the characters) believed that nearly six months had passed since the "overtime contingency" incident.

It’s been quite a while since we last saw Mark S. (Adam Scott), an employee at the mysterious company Lumon Industries, which uses a surgical procedure called “severance” to separate people’s home lives from their work lives. Season 1 ended on a cliffhanger in April 2022, leaving viewers eager for the next chapter.

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.

Severance Season 2 Episode 1 is here and because it has a cryptic end, let me tell you all about it in this ending explained article!

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.

It's been a long wait, but one of the best shows on Apple TV+, Severance, has finally returned for Season 2. Here's our recap of Episode 1.

The second episode of Severance season 2 gave us an even deeper look into the lives of the main severed employees.

The heavily redacted newspaper, titled The Kier Chronicle, features a front-page story about the Innies blowing the whistle on their mistreatment, along with two side stories about the "Baird Creek Bandit" and new Lumon recycling technology.
