When do new episodes of 'Severance' Season 2 come out? Full episode schedule, release dates

The countdown is over. After three years of waiting, fans are finally able to watch the first episode of "Severance" Season 2.

The first episode of the Apple TV+ original thriller series premiered on Friday. Directed by Ben Stiller, "Severance" is about a team of office workers whose memories have been surgically divided between their work and personal lives. The series features Adam Scott, Britt Lower, John Turturro, Zach Cherry and Patricia Arquette.

Days before the Season 2 premiere, members of the "Severance" cast, including Scott, Lower and Cherry, appeared at a promotional pop-up in Grand Central Station in New York. The cast pretended to work inside a glass cubicle, which recreated a portion of the Lumon Industries office from the series. Ben Stiller was also spotted, taking photos and videos of the pop-up like a proud father.

Season 1 of "Severance" debuted in 2022 and follows Mark Scout (Scott) leading a team of workers as they navigate what truly lies behind the company they work for.
