Severance is officially a raging success for Apple TV+, a feat made no less impressive by delivering consistently satisfying goods after making viewers wait three years for a followup. Last week’s episode further explored the conundrum of Innie vs. Outie sex, something that was not on everybody’s bingo card for this season, but also, nobody seems to be complaining.
The full season will add up to ten episodes, so we are officially past the halfway point, and let’s talk about when more will happen.
When Will Severance Season 2, Episode 7 Be Available?
February 28.
This week’s episode, “Chikhai Bardo,” arrives with this description: “The origins of an old romance intersect with a deadly present threat.”
While following up on last week’s tryst between Innie Helly and Innie Mark, Britt Lower recently spoke with Variety to clarify that Helly made “reclamation” of her own body and pulled off “a brave act to be vulnerable enough to say, ‘I want this’ to Mark.” She added, “Helly is very rarely rattled by anything, but her heart opening to connection is the scariest thing – not just to Mark, but to her chosen family of Dylan and Irving.”
Lower further explained why the group feels so protective of each other (in the context of protecting Dylan from Milchick), and she reasoned, “I think Season 2, for all of the innies, is a journey now that they’ve cracked open the question of, ‘Who am I in relationship to my work?’ Now it’s, “Who am I in relationship to the people I love? How do I show up for those people? How does that define me when we have contrasting desires?”
Of course, hints regarding Mark’s reintegration procedure threaten to change everything, but this show certainly isn’t giving away everything at once.
