One of the most critically acclaimed television shows of the decade so far is returning next week nearly three years after its last episode aired.

The sci-fi series was hailed as a dark, timely satire of office life—but its return is bogged down by abstract ethical conundrums and rote emotional ones.

Thankfully, answers are oh-so-close to arriving, as Severance Season 2 is set to debut on Friday, January 17, but even those who haven’t yet experienced the singular majesty of watching the quizzical drama can join the rest of us without requiring a current Apple TV+ subscription.

Ahead of the premiere of Severance season 2, Apple TV+ and Roku teamed up to make the first season of the show available for free.

Apple TV+ really hopes you'll get hooked on the dystopian hit—which, to be fair, you probably will—and become a subscriber for Severance season two.

The show's second season has been eagerly anticipated ever since the first season ended in 2022. The post ‘Severance’ season 1 will be available for free ahead of the show’s second season appeared first on The Manual.

It’s been a long three years, but there’s less than one week left until Severance Season 2 premieres on Apple TV+. When we last saw Lumon’s Macrodata Refinement department, they were scattered — and their innies were in the outside world thanks to Dylan (Zach Cherry) triggering the Overtime Contingency in a risky attempt to get to the bottom of their company’s shady activities.
