It’s finally time to Return To Office! It’s been nearly three years since fans of Dan Erickson’s Apple TV+ series watched Irving (John Turturro) bang on Burt’s (Christopher Walken) door, Helly (Britt Lower) tell a roomful of gala guests that innies are miserable prisoners,

Severance season 2 is finally back after three years, and it was well worth the wait. The Apple TV+ workplace drama—which explores an alternate reality where one can physically separate their personal life from their work life—successfully builds upon the first season while recapturing the thrilling twists of its memorable season 1 finale.

It’s been quite a while since we last saw Mark S. (Adam Scott), an employee at the mysterious company Lumon Industries, which uses a surgical procedure called “severance” to separate people’s home lives from their work lives. Season 1 ended on a cliffhanger in April 2022, leaving viewers eager for the next chapter.

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.

Ahead of the season two premiere of hit TV show Severance, Apple is marketing the show with a fun Severance pop-up at the Grand Central Terminal
