Apple releases photographic evidence of Severance’s second season

Call me, Apple. Some years ago—never mind how long precisely—having little or only two trillion dollars in overseas accounts, investments, and useless AI features, the company thought it would sail about a little and see the film and television production part of the world. It is a way we have of regulating cash circulation to produce several prestige television shows of varying quality and popularity, especially whenever the allure of new product sectors gets the upper hand that it requires strong moral principles to prevent us from stepping into the street and deliberately knocking customers’ Vision Pros off their heads. There is nothing surprising in this. What’s surprising is that Apple finally released photographic evidence of Severance’s second season.

And what an image it is: Adam Scott doing what we can only assume is a recreation of his pose from just outside the theater doors at the premiere of Madame Web, balloons and all. No, there isn’t much in this image, and only a little bit more in the Coming to Apple TV+ highlight reel the company released at this year’s Worldwide Developer’s Conference earlier today. Though anyone hoping to see Scott looking panicked in about two or three different costumes will be as happy as an Ahab, who we can only assume survives to eat Moby Dick before being tried for poaching.

Severance ended on a major cliffhanger in April 2022, with all secrets revealed and significant new story arcs launched. The show, which had quickly become one of Apple TV+’s most popular series and one of the most acclaimed and beloved on television, began production on season two in October of that year but was forced to shut down over the WGA strike, among other, less verifiable reasons. The show resumed production in January.

Severance season two is expected to stream on Apple TV+ sometime in 2024.
