Next year things will be very strange with Apple TV+ Severance pay finally returns with its highly anticipated second season. The new part was announced in 2022 and began production in the same year. However, in May 2023, everything was put on hold due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, which lasted until September and November respectively. Filming too Severance pay Season 2 was then resumed on January 29, 2024 and completed approximately three months later.

We’re waiting for more mysterious incidents in Lumon If the psychological thriller continues, fans should expect even more unanswered questions Tramell Tillman, who portrays Mr. Milchick. He told TV Insider, “The hallmark of this show is that the more you dig, the more questions you have.” He added that this season, viewers will learn more about Lumon and his co-workers, including his character.

Continue in detail Severance pay Season 2, Tillman finds, is somewhat similar to the prequel chapter in terms of the characters’ identities and “curiosity.”

“My takeaways from Season 1 are very similar to what I learned from Season 2. The first line in Season 1 is, “Who are you?” I think this show talks a lot about identity and who we are to each other. I think that’s still there. We’ll have to wait for the second season, but you can see the characters almost transition into the world of work and their personal lives. The curiosity doesn’t subside. It’s more about their characteristics than the memories.”

Tramell Tillman compares “severance pay” to the corporate world

Severance pay debuted on Apple TV+ on February 18, 2022, with nine episodes ending in April of the same year. The series was such a masterpiece that it not only received critical acclaim, but also received fourteen Emmy nominations and won in two categories. Tillman explained the plot of the first season as follows:

“Look at Season 1: How many times did the innkeepers get distracted with each other? It is the desire to connect. We are not islands. We all need some level of companionship, in whatever sense. This desire, this need for a sense of community and camaraderie is so important. And Milchick knows this, which is why he creates these incentives. He has the melon party, the egg bar, the dance experience, because all of these increase productivity.”

Earlier in the interview, the actor also noted that, based on his experience in corporate America, he understands the need for workers to spend their personal lives outside of the office. For him it’s very similar what happened in severance pay, as he underscored:

“I think this is very similar to the severance pay process. There’s no chip in your head. And I think we all do this in many ways, keeping certain aspects of our humanity from other levels. That could be the appeal of this show because it’s a human quality.”

The second season of Severance pay Premieres January 17, 2025. Season 1 is streaming on Apple TV+.
