The first reviews for Severance season 2 have arrived, and the long-awaited new season now holds a 100% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
The sci-fi thriller series, created by Dan Erickson and directed by Ben Stiller, first hit Apple TV Plus in 2022. The show stars Adam Scott as Mark, a widow who decides to undergo the controversial process of becoming a "severed" employee at the mysterious Lumon Industries. Despite being immediately renewed for a second season, production delays, strikes, and other woes pushed the release date further and further out. Luckily, it was more than worth the wait.
The Daily Telegraph gave it a 4/5, writing, "This is remarkable, unique, mind-bending television, a show which makes you think long and hard, even when it’s in danger of disappearing down the rabbit hole of its own inventive imagination."

"It makes for a season that’s frequently darker, less frequently amusing and not necessarily more satisfying -- but one that hits, if anything, even more chillingly close to home," said The Hollywood Reporter.
