With its interesting premise, this past February one of the best series of 2022 was released, ‘Separación’ (Severance), a work dystopia in which we follow the employees of Lumon Ind., who have undergone a controversial procedure to separate their work and personal lives.
A great series that received a season 2 renewal in April whose filming has already started. Some new episodes of which we are going to review everything we know.
The history
The end of the first season took us through an “awakening” of the dentris in the outside world. Thus we find, for example, that Helly is actually the daughter of the CEO of Lumon, or that Ms. Casey is Mark’s wife (“She’s alive,” the character says). The second season will have to deal with the discoveries that the characters have made.
In Erikson’s words, the plan is to play on a new playing field with the knowledge gained by our protagonists:
“We tried to think about it from both insiders and outsiders point of view and end the story at a time that would be game-changing for characters on both sides and create a new playing field for season 2. So, for Mark, his dentri has just discovered the wedding photo and struggles to get the message to Devon that his wife is alive in Lumon, which he, so to speak, half-does. The inside of him, in theory, will return to the “Separate” plant with this knowledge that topples worlds. Meanwhile, his strength is going to wake up having yelled that cryptic thing in the middle of a packed party. He holds up the photo, but is Devon going to be clear on what he meant? He leaves both versions of himself with new knowledge but also with new things to find out.”
That yes, I am afraid that at the moment they do not release garment on exactly how all this will happen.
The cast
As we can imagine, and it is confirmed, the cast will bring back Adam Scott, Patricia Arquette, John Turturro, Britt LowerZach Cherry, Dichen Lachman, Jen Tullock, Tramell Tillman, Michael Chernus, and Christopher Walken.
And watch out because the additions to this new season are amazing: Gwendoline Christie, John Noble, Merritt WeverBob Balaban, Robby Benson, Stefano Carannante, Ólafur Darri Ólafsson and Alia Shawkat.
The filming
As a Halloween “deal”, Apple TV+ announced on October 31 that the filming of this second season had begun. A production that began weeks before in New Jersey and will run until next March 2023.
In the words of Ben Stiller, director of the series:
“We are excited and delighted to be back on set for the exciting second chapter of ‘Severance.’ Even though we don’t know how long we’ve been gone or who we are out there, we’re told that people enjoy the show and we couldn’t be happier. Praise be to Kier!”
Dan Erickson continues to write the series with Ben Stiller as director and executive producer. Also producing are Nicky Weinstock, Jackie Cohn and Adam Scott.
the premiere date
From Apple TV + they have not revealed the premiere date, but due to how the filming of this series is, the thing would be between the end of 2023 and already 2024. In fact, Stiller asked for patience a few months ago since the first season took them almost two years to complete it.
The trailer and images
At the moment we do not have a trailer or images of the second season of ‘Separation’.
