Calling all Innies and Outies! We have lastly bought a full trailer for Severance Season 2 — and it offers us some much-needed solutions about what occurred following Season 1’s cliffhanger ending.
To recap: Season 1 ended with severed Lumon workers Mark S. (Adam Scott), Helly R. (Britt Decrease), Irving B. (John Turturro), and Dylan G. (Zach Cherry) staging a daring escape from Lumon. Lumon caught on and switched them again, however not earlier than Mark revealed that his Outie’s late spouse Gemma continues to be alive as Lumon wellness counselor Ms. Casey (Dichen Lachman). I am screaming simply excited about it (and I have been excited about it for the previous two and a half years).
So what are the Innies’ subsequent steps, now that they have been discovered? And the way will Lumon retaliate?
In line with the trailer, they will not. As a substitute, severed flooring supervisor Mr. Milchick (Tramell Tillman) claims the Innies have grow to be well-known within the exterior world, sparking severance reforms throughout Lumon. Like with all issues at Lumon, this sounds fishy as could be — however at the very least there isn’t any main punishment for the Innies. (At the least, not but.)
With that direct risk out of the way in which, Mark’s Innie turns to his new mission: Getting Ms. Casey out of Lumon. Oh, and if he and his fellow macrodata refiners can discover out simply what it’s they’re engaged on alongside the way in which, that will be nice. In line with a newly launched Lumon higher-up (Ólafur Darri Ólafsson), “their work will probably be remembered as one of many best moments of this planet.” So which means it is both excellent, or very sinister. Because it’s Lumon, let’s go together with the latter.
On the surface, Mark and his sister Devon (Jen Tullock) attempt to unravel the Gemma thriller themselves, together with why Ms. Cobel/Mrs. Selvig (Patricia Arquette) is so obsessive about their household. Rooting for them! Not simply because I like them, however as a result of I, too, must know.
However Mark is not the one Outie getting the highlight this season. We additionally see Irving’s Outie making some mysterious calls from a telephone sales space — and possibly even assembly up with Burt’s (Christopher Walken) Outie. In the meantime, Helly’s Outie, aka Helena Eagan, inheritor to Lumon, is in full harm management mode. There aren’t any indicators of Dylan’s Outie but, however I am positive Severance will not go away him out.
All of that is already lots to absorb, and I have never even touched on Lumon’s new severed workers, performed by Alia Shawkat, Bob Balaban, and Stefano Carannante; the revamped goat room; or Ms. Huang (Sarah Bock), the literal youngster serving because the severed flooring’s deputy supervisor.
The questions preserve piling up, so reward Kier Severance Season 2 is sort of right here to (hopefully) reply them.
Severance Season 2 premieres Jan. 17 on AppleTV+.
