The first season of “Severance,” back in 2022, put a new spin on the concept of being your own boss. It took us inside the mysterious, blinding-white offices of Lumon Industries, where employees in the “macrodata refinement department” have chips implanted in their brains to partition them between a work self (the “innie”) and an out-of-office self (the “outie”).

The season two premiere of the hit series Severance officially premieres Jan. 17, 2025. In Severance, Mark Scout (Adam Scott) leads a team at Lumon Industries, whose employees have undergone a severance procedure that surgically divides their memories between their work and personal lives.
