“Severance” is finally back for Season 2 after a long three-year hiatus, but there’s a lot to remember before jumping back into the mystery.
In the broad overview, “Severance” follows a number of employees at the mysterious Lumon corporation. Lumon radiates cult-like energy as it constantly praises the ideals of it’s founder Kier Eagan. What exactly Lumon is working on to make the world a better place is kept under wraps by having a number of employees undergo the severance process — which separates a person’s consciousness into an outie and innie when they are at work vs. at home. The innie is active and responsible while on Lumon property working for whatever team they are assigned while the outie leads the person’s day-to-day life and is none-the-wiser to what goes on at the company.
