‘Severance’ Season 2 Trailer: Adam Scott Attempts to Spring His ‘Outtie’ Wife from the Inside
Apple TV+ has finally released the trailer for “Severance” Season 2, and we are so in(nie).
In “Severance,” Adam Scott’s Mark Scout (“Mark S.” at work) leads a team at Lumon Industries, where employees have undergone an elective — but controversial — surgery that divides their memories between their work and personal lives. Basically, the Work You (your “Innie”) never exists outside of the office, and your home half (“Outtie”) never knows work. It’s kind of cool for the latter but an absolute torturous existence for the former. The series itself is top notch.

Toward the end of Season 1, Mark and his three close colleagues (played by Britt Lower, Zach Cherry, and John Turturro) make some monumental discoveries about what may really being going on inside Lumon HQ. In Season 2, the coworkers “learn the dire consequences of trifling with the severance barrier, leading them further down a path of woe,” per Apple TV+.
Per the Apple SVOD service’s trailer, it’s gonna be a doozy for the Macrodata refinement team: Mr. Milchick (Tramell Tillman) looks pissed.
