In the trailer, Mark races up and down the barren hallways of the workplace thriller’s dystopian offices, as the rushed voices of season one’s epic finale play overhead. The return will mark two and a half years since the show first premiered in February 2022.

Apple’s timing for its big Severance Season 2 release date couldn’t be better. I just finished re-watching the first season for the third time last night. I experienced the same feelings I did the first two times around: Elation, frustration and a deep need to know when this show was finally coming back.

Merritt Wever, Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, Robby Benson, John Noble, and Game of Thrones star Gwendoline Christie are among the newbies joining the office-based chaos in season 2 – though we don't meet them in the new clip.
