Mark and his fellow refiners are back at Lumon after an excruciating three-year wait. I can't get it out of my head

Fortunately, “Severance” returns to Apple TV+ on Friday, and its makers seem to have used every second of the absence productively. The season takes new turns while remaining the most ambitious, batty and all-out pleasurable show on TV, an M.C. Escher maze whose plot convolutions never get in the way of its voice, heart and sense of humor.

Yet another Hollywood icon, with no need of introduction. Christopher Walken plays Burt in Severance. He won an Oscar for his role in The Deer Hunter, while he was also in Dune: Part Two just last year.

Apple TV+'s acclaimed sci-fi show is finally back – here's Severance season 2's episode release schedule, including when the finale will premiere.

Here's what you should remember from the first season of "Severance" and how certain moments and symbols could foreshadow what happens in Season 2.

Creator Dan Erickson, director and executive producer Ben Stiller, and star Adam Scott tease what's to come for the severed employees at Lumon Industries.

Apple TV+'s thriller returns with more sci-fi creepiness, nuanced social commentary and black humor. And perks like fruit leather.

Taking the idea of work-life balance to extremes, the sardonic and surrealist thriller “Severance” on Apple TV+ envisions a dystopian corporate world in which employees of a company called Lumon Industries have a chip implanted in their brains that severs their memory in two.

See at Roku Channel. Right now, you can watch all nine episodes of Severance season 1 on the Roku Channel, from the premiere episode (The Good News About Hell) to the season final
