First image of Adam Scott in ‘Severance’ Season 2 debuts at Apple pep rally

Apple TV+ is offering extended severance.

The hit science-fiction series “Severance” debuted its first image from the second season at the tech giant’s Apple Worldwide Developers Conference in Cupertino, California. It featured the show’s lead, Adam Scott, in an eerie white hallway holding some cerulean balloons, wearing an ID badge, and looking determined. 

Production on the second season ended in April. The precise launch date hasn’t been announced, but since further glimpses were included in a “Coming to Apple TV+” video, one can expect it sometime this year.

“Severance” was created by Dan Erickson (his first substantial gig in this role, quite a debut!), and its first season was directed by Ben Stiller and Aoife McArdle. The show satirizes business culture with a process (called severance!) in which employees have their minds and memories effectively bisected, such that they can’t remember their home life while at work or their work life while at home. Complications ensue! In addition to Scott, the series stars Zach Cherry, Britt Lower, Christopher Walken, and Patricia Arquette.

The show was nominated for seven Primetime Emmys, including Best Drama Series, and seven Creative Arts Emmys, winning two, for Music Composition and Main Titles. 

Elsewhere in the quick Apple teaser, you can see images from “Presumed Innocent” starring Jake Gyllenhaal, “Dark Matter” with Jennifer Connelly and Joel Edgerton, and the upcoming NASA rom-com”Fly Me To The Moon” with Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum. That film will debut in theaters first via Sony in July before later coming to Apple this year.
