Apple TV+, the best streaming service for sci-fi, preps for ‘Severance’ season two

Apple TV+ hit series “Severance” received top honors at the 75th Annual Writers Guild Awards, winning Best Drama and Best New Series.
From director and executive producer Ben Stiller and creator Dan Erickson comes “Severance.” Mark Scout (Adam Scott) leads a team at Lumon Industries, whose employees have undergone a severance procedure, which surgically divides their memories between their work and personal lives. This daring experiment in “work-life balance” is called into question as Mark finds himself at the center of an unraveling mystery that will force him to confront the true nature of his work… and of himself.

Apple TV+ has established itself as the number one streaming service for sci-fi, with a litany of hits, including Invasion, For All Mankind, Foundation, and Silo. However, there’s one show that stands head and shoulders above them all, and we finally have news that a second season is back in production.
Rated 97% on Rotten Tomatoes, Severance is heralded by many as the flagship show on the platform – at least when it comes to high-concept science fiction. It’s funny, dramatic, strange and beautifully shot.
However, making season 2 has not been simple. Seemingly underway more than a year ago, if leaked location photos were any indication, filming was then delayed due to the writers and actors strikes. There have also been some rumours about disagreements between showrunners Dan Erickson and Martin Friedman.
But now there is some great news for fans with Apple posting an official update on its X feed… Executive producer Ben Stiller then reposted it with a simple phrase: “Back to work.”

Back to work. #SEVERANCE https://t.co/3uh8ZEXJJL

MacDailyNews Take: Hopefully, afterwards, season three will arrive in more timely fashion lest this one becomes Apple TV+’s Stranger Things.
