Get ready for round two of this corporate thriller.
It’s a long-awaited moment for fans of the dystopian thriller Severance, which premiered on Apple TV Plus in 2022. Finally, the second season of this disturbing and irresistible drama is scheduled to end. Let the countdown begin.
Severance follows Mark Scout (Adam Scott) and his colleagues at a fictional biotech company called Lumon, who have undergone brain surgery that separates their work and personal lives. When they are in the office, they don’t remember their life outside and vice versa. But strange things begin to happen, including the sudden axing of a longtime colleague, which prompts Mark and his colleagues to question the company they work for and its motives. It’s an engaging commentary on work-life balance (or the lack thereof), made stronger by understated but memorable characters and a focused story.
Season 1 ends on such a compelling cliffhanger that you’ll be desperate to jump right into Season 2 as soon as possible. And finally, the wait is almost over. So without further ado, here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming season of Severance, including how to watch the highly anticipated show with a VPN.
How to watch The Detachment season 2 on Apple TV Plus
The second season of Severance comes out on Apple TV Plus friday, January 17. There are 10 episodes, which will be released on a weekly basis — likely keeping viewers on the edge of their seats between broadcasts.
You also now have the option to access Apple TV Plus through another stream: Prime Video. The retail and tech giants have struck a deal to offer Apple’s streaming service as a $10 monthly add-on to Prime Video customers. This could make the platform easier to access and give it increased visibility — thus simplifying the process of getting a hold of Season 2 of Disruption (or whatever you’re watching).
And if you want to catch Season 1 before activating an Apple TV Plus subscription, you can do so for free on the Roku channel (though you’ll have to wade through the ads).
Subscribe to Apple TV Plus for $10 a month. If you want to try it out before you commit, you can sign up for a 7-day free trial. And if you bought a new Apple device, you’ll get three months of Apple TV Plus for free, as long as you use the offer within 90 days.
How to watch Severance from anywhere with a VPN
What if you’re traveling abroad and want to stream Severance while you’re away from home? With a VPN, you can virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to access the series from anywhere in the world. There are other good reasons to use a VPN for streaming.
A VPN is the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds by encrypting your traffic. Using a VPN is also a great idea if you’re traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network and want to add an extra layer of privacy to your devices and logins. Streaming TV can be a little smoother with a reliable, quality VPN that has passed our tests and security standards.
You can use a VPN to stream content legally as long as VPNs are legal in your country and you have a valid subscription to the streaming service you’re using. The US and Canada are among the countries where VPNs are legal, but we advise against streaming or downloading content on illegal torrent sites. We recommend ExpressVPN, but you can choose another provider from our best list like Surfshark or NordVPN.
ExpressVPN is our current pick for the most secure and reliable VPN service. It’s fast, works on multiple devices and offers stable streams. ExpressVPN is normally $13 per month, but you can save money with an annual plan. There is also a 30-day money back guarantee.

Follow the VPN provider’s instructions for installation and select a location where Severance is streaming on Apple TV Plus. Before opening the streaming app, make sure you’re connected to your VPN using your chosen region. If you want to stream Severance on more than one device, you may need to set up each one to make sure you’re signed in. Go to settings and check your network connections to verify that you are logged in and connected to your VPN account. Now you’re ready to open Apple TV Plus to stream.
If you encounter streaming problems, first make sure your VPN is running on its encrypted IP address. Double check that you have followed the installation instructions correctly and that you have selected the correct geographical area for viewing. If you still experience connection problems, you may need to restart your device. Close all apps and windows, restart your device and connect to your VPN first. Note that some streaming services have restrictions on VPN access.
