The second season sees Mark and his colleagues grappling with the severe repercussions of tampering with the severance barrier, which leads them into even deeper trouble.
The first season ended on a cliffhanger with Mark Scout (Adam Scott) discovering his supposedly deceased wife alive and well as Ms Casey (Dichen Lachman), the wellness counsellor at Lumon.
Moreover, Helly Riggs (Britt Lower) uncovered her identity as the CEO's daughter, while troubling flashbacks of a dark corridor haunted Irving B (John Turturro).
Severance is a brainchild of Erickson, who also serves as an executive producer alongside Stiller, Scott and Arquette. Stiller has also directed five episodes this season, with Uta Briesewitz, Sam Donovan and Jessica Lee Gagne helming the rest.
