premieres on Apple TV+ on January 17, 2025. Because of the widespread acclaim for the first season, fans have been eager to know if critics have given the second season a similarly high rating.
Given the positive reviews it has received from critics already, it seems that the new chapter will likely live up to all fan expectations, as Season 2 now has a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Severance Season 2 has a 100% rating on the review aggregating site Rotten Tomatoes after 40 reviews. In contrast, the first season currently has a 97% fresh rating after 116 reviews.
This perfect score may change as the premiere approaches and more reviews come out. However, this early critical consensus strongly indicates that the series’ second season will fare as well with critics as the first did, if not better.
Alison Herman of Variety called Season 2 “surreal, stylish, and worth the wait.” Notably, the first season, comprising nine episodes, aired between February 18, 2022, and April 8, 2022.
