After a three year sabbatical, the severed workers of Lumon Industries are returning for Season 2. Directed by Ben Stiller, the dystopian thriller premieres with two new episodes this Friday, Jan. 17 on Apple TV+.

While “Severance” has a wonderfully creepy-compelling premise, it’s a concept better suited to a movie than a multi-episode TV series.

The acclaimed Apple TV+ series is making its long-awaited return. A second season was filmed over three years.

Fortunately, “Severance” returns to Apple TV+ on Friday, and its makers seem to have used every second of the absence productively. The season takes new turns while remaining the most ambitious, batty and all-out pleasurable show on TV, an M.C. Escher maze whose plot convolutions never get in the way of its voice, heart and sense of humor.

The hit Apple TV+ series returns Friday with fewer laughs as it tries unravel the mystery of what's happening to its characters.

"Severance" Season 2 premieres this week. Here's everything to know about the 10-episode season, releasing three years after the debut season.

See at Roku Channel. Right now, you can watch all nine episodes of Severance season 1 on the Roku Channel, from the premiere episode (The Good News About Hell) to the season final
