What is Severance Season 2 about?
Season 2 will continue Mark and the team’s quest to fully unravel the mystery of what it is they actually do at Lumon. They sort macrodata, but beyond that, they don’t actually know what it is they sort and what the outcome of their work is. This could ultimately bridge the “severance” procedure around which the story is centered, because the operation separates work and personal lives.
What happened in Severance Season 1?
Season 1 had several big reveals that will likely come into play in Season 2. Towards the end of Season 1, Mark S. (Adam Scott) made the connection between his work self and out-of-work self that his supposedly dead wife Gemma (Dichen Lachman) is actually alive. Her severed self worked as the Wellness counselor at Lumon in Season 1. Another discovery that took place during the Overtime Contingency initiated by Mark, Dylan (Zach Cherry), Helly (Britt Lower) and Irving (John Turturro) was that Helly is actually an Eagan, or a member of the founding family behind Lumon. Kier Eagan established the company, and Helly, who goes by Helena when not in her severed self, is the daughter of Jame Eagan, current CEO of the company.
Who is in Severance Season 2?
Adam Scott, Britt Lower, Tramell Tillman, John Turturro, Zach Cherry, Jen Tullock, Michael Chernus, Dichen Lachman, Christopher Walken and Patricia Arquette will return to their roles from the first season.
Those boarding the series for Season 2 include Alia Shawkat (Search Party), Robby Benson (Beauty and the Beast), Stefano Carannante (Mirabilia), ólafur Darri ólafsson (The Tourist), Gwendoline Christie (Game of Thrones), Bob Balaban (The Chair), Merritt Wever (Godless) and John Noble (Fringe).
