Severance season 2's first trailer is so unpleasantly upbeat and trippy, I can't wait to return to the office on Apple TV Plus

Apple has debuted nan first trailer for nan hotly anticipated 2nd play of its deed bid Severance – and now I'm moreover much excited to return to nan agency successful early 2025.

Released coming (October 23), nan teaser, which is group to The Who's funky 'Eminence Front' track, gives america our first due look astatine Severance play 2 successful typically twisty-turny fashion. It's only astir 80 seconds long, but I fishy there'll beryllium plentifulness of fans who'll not only effort to dissect what's connected show, but besides theorize astir what lies successful shop for Adam Scott's Mark Scout and his Lumon Industries colleagues – caller and aged – up of nan celebrated show's latest chapter.

Expectedly, Mark is astatine nan bosom of play 2's inaugural teaser – he's arguably nan protagonist of 1 of nan best Apple TV Plus shows, aft all, truthful it makes consciousness that he'd beryllium beforehand and halfway of this video.

What's peculiarly absorbing astir Severance play 2's first trailer, though, is that galore of nan Apple TV Plus project's superior supporting formed members are only concisely teased successful this first information of footage. Indeed, nan likes of Britt Lower's Helly, Zach Cherry's Dylan, and John Turturro's Irving are only glimpsed successful speedy flash cuts interspersed betwixt nan trailer's main footage, which shows Mark navigating a labyrinthine hallway of Lumon Industries corridors to effort and find his co-workers.

Unfortunately for Mark, he doesn't tally into nan colleagues he's searching for. Instead, earlier nan teaser ends, he's greeted by a trio of caller labor – "who are you people?", a baffled Mark asks – earlier Tramell Tillman's Seth, nan overseer of Lumon's severed level division, appears. "Welcome back, Markus," Seth unsettlingly says pinch a grin arsenic he carries a bunch of bluish balloons pinch Mark's look connected them. "Been a minute", he adds, earlier nan footage cuts distant to Severance's title card. Color. Me. Intrigued.

The show's latest trailer arrives 24 hours aft Apple invited america to be a large Severance play 2 meeting. At nan time, I theorized that it was destined to uncover play 2's first teaser, truthful I'm gladsome I've been proven right.

Not to rustle my ain trumpet, but I besides predicted that a afloat formed database and play 2 crippled synopsis would beryllium presented by Apple. I was partially correct connected that beforehand arsenic well, pinch nan tech giant's streaming section providing a short communicative little and confirming which actors are portion of Severance's sophomore outing connected 1 of nan world's best streaming services:

"In Severance, Mark Scout (Scott) leads a squad astatine Lumon Industries, whose labor person undergone a severance procedure, which surgically divides their memories betwixt their activity and individual lives," nan communicative synopsis reads. "This daring research successful 'work-life balance; is called into mobility arsenic Mark finds himself astatine nan halfway of an unraveling enigma that will unit him to face nan existent quality of his work… and of himself. In play 2, Mark and his friends study nan dire consequences of trifling pinch nan severance barrier, starring them further down a way of woe."

Joining Scott, Lower, Tillman, Cherry, and Turturro connected nan play 2 formed roster are returning faces Jen Tullock arsenic Devon, Michael Chernus arsenic Ricken, Dichen Lachman arsenic Ms. Casey, Christopher Walken arsenic Burt, and Patricia Arquette arsenic Harmony. The only confirmed newcomer truthful acold is Sarah Bock (Bruiser), who's been hired arsenic a bid regular but whose characteristic personality remains a mystery. Show creator and executive shaper Dan Erickson, positive head and executive shaper Ben Stiller, are besides backmost arsenic cardinal members of play 2's main imaginative team.

Severance play 2 will motorboat pinch a azygous section premiere exclusively connected Apple TV Plus connected January 17, 2025.
