Severance, the mystery-box science-fiction thriller that finally convinced the sceptics that Apple TV+ is worth the price of admission, acquired a rabid fanbase as more and more people were drawn into the shadowy world of Lumon Industries over the course of its first season.
The show, which was co-created by Ben Stiller and Dan Erickson, takes place almost entirely within the basement of a facility so secretive that its employees must undergo a “severance” procedure that permanently separates their work memories from their home life, effectively creating new people within their brains that exist only within the confines of their offices.
The show’s many plot twists and turns won it a loyal fanbase, and when it finished, everyone was on the edge of their seats, wondering if there would be more. Some encouraging news for all you Keir Eagan believers out there.
