Like
a
lot
of
tech
companies,
Lumon
Industries
is
instituting
a
return-to-office
policy
for
employees,
but
of
course,
this
version
looks
a
little
scarier
than
real
life.
At
least,
that’s
how
it
seems
based
on
the
first
proper
trailer
for
season
2
of
Severance.
Following
last
season’s
incredibly
tense
finale,
the
show
picks
up
with
Mark
S
(Adam
Scott)
heading
back
to
Lumon
to
find
things
a
little
different
than
he
remembers
them,
including
a
number
of
his
coworkers.
But
some
things
haven’t
changed
—
namely,
the
disorienting
office
hallways
and
the
unyielding
intensity
of
Milchick
(Tramell
Tillman),
who
looks
intimidating
even
while
holding
party
balloons.
For
the
uninitiated,
Severance
is
a
sci-fi
story
about
a
medical
procedure
—
the
titular
severance
—
that
allows
Lumon
employees
to
separate
their
memories
between
work
and
home,
essentially
creating
two
people
in
one
body.
It’s
an
extreme
solution
to
the
problem
of
work-life
balance.
The
outies,
as
they’re
known,
remain
oblivious
to
what
goes
on
in
the
office,
while
the
innies
remain
trapped
in
a
hellish
existence
they
can
never
escape.
Well,
except
for
the
occasional
Music
Dance
Experience.
The
show
is
led
by
director
Ben
Stiller
and
creator
/
writer
Dan
Erickson.
The
first
season
(which
is
out
on
Blu-ray
soon)
featured
a
killer
cast,
many
of
whom
will
be
returning.
In
addition
to
Scott
and
Tillman,
the
cast
includes
Britt
Lower,
Zach
Cherry,
Jen
Tullock,
Michael
Chernus,
Dichen
Lachman,
John
Turturro,
Christopher
Walken,
and
Patricia
Arquette.
The
10-episode-long
second
season
of
Severance
starts
streaming
on
Apple
TV
Plus
on
January
17th.
In
the
meantime,
the
streamer
has
another
sci-fi
show
returning
very
soon,
with
season
2
of
Silo
kicking
off
on
November
15th.
