How to watch Severance season 2: episode release schedule, where to stream and free trials
The hit sci-fi show returns
One of the big TV shows kicking off our 2025 is Severance season 2, which brings back the hit science fiction show when it hits screens on Friday, January 17.
Streaming: Apple TV Plus
Debut: Friday, January 17
Episodes: 10
Free trial: Apple TV Plus free trials
Created by Ben Stiller and starring Adam Scott, Severance is set in an office which instigates a revolutionary change: they split their workers' personalities between work and home lives.
However mysteries abound and all of the workers harbor secrets that they don't even know about. By the end of the first season the worker personalities have managed to learn more about their situation but knowledge comes with risks.
Severance season 2 is set to be one of the biggest series of 2025, so here's what you need to know about it in order to see it.
How to watch Severance season 2
You'll be able to watch Severance season 2, and the first run of episodes for that matter, by signing up for the streaming service Apple TV Plus.
Severance was made for Apple's TV streaming service, so you won't be able to watch it on any other platform or TV channel.
Apple TV Plus costs $9.99 / £8.99 per month for a subscription, although you may find ways to sign up for less (more on that later). Don't confuse it for Apple TV Plus MLS as that's for streaming Major League Soccer.
