There’ll be no severance package necessary for the latestAppleTV Plus hit show.
Severance, Dan Erickson’s starry psychological thriller, has been renewed for a second season on Apple TV Plus just days before the conclusion of its first.
Starring Patricia Arquette, Adam Scott, John Turturro, and Christopher Walken, the nine-episode show follows employees at a tech company, Lumon Industries, where an aptly-titled severance program is used to keep their work memories separate from their non-work memories.
Severance began streaming onApple TV Plusin February, and its debut season finale is due to air on Friday, April 8. It’s a testament to its quality, then, that Apple has decided to commission the show’s return ahead of time (seriously, not evenSquid Game season 2got the green light this early).
