Severance Season 2 Will Feature 10 Episodes

Comparative Episode Count: Season 1 and Season 2

Viewers can expect a total of 10 episodes for Severance Season 2, which marks an increase from the nine episodes of the first season. This additional episode not only enhances the storyline but also provides more content to bridge the lengthy hiatus fans experienced. The extended run is particularly in line with recent trends exhibited by other Apple TV+ sci-fi series such as Silo and For All Mankind.

Each episode of the second season is expected to last just under an hour, similar to the first season. Additionally, the release strategy will follow the same model as before, with new episodes being released weekly instead of dropping all at once.
