The ‘Severance’ Season 2 Finale Is Out Now. Here’s How to Binge the Show

After a nearly three-year wait for the second season of the Apple TV Plus sci-fi thriller Severancefans of the show have been treated to some remarkable episodes over the past few months, but the wild ride has come to an end — for now. The season finale aired on Friday, March 21, shedding light on some of the biggest questions raised throughout both seasons 1 and 2. Other mysteries will likely be reserved for a third season, which has officially been greenlit by Apple.

The unsettling and irresistible dystopian TV drama Severance follows Mark Scout (Adam Scott) and his Macrodata Refinement department colleagues at a fictitious biotech company called Lumon Industries. The employees on their “severed floor” have undergone a brain surgery that permanently separates their work and personal lives. When they’re in the office, they have no recollection of their lives outside and vice versa. Their in-office persona is known as their “innie,” while in the outside world, they’re living as their “outie.”

In the subdued and dark eighth episode, Sweet Vitriol, we learned the real history behind the severance technology and got a full taste of Ms. Cobel’s upbringing. The ninth episode, The After Hours, saw Irving say farewell to Burt (for now) and forge an unholy alliance between Cobel, Mark and his sister Devon. And in the final episode of the season, Cold Harbor, we see Mark’s efforts to save Gemma come to a head — while he endures some personal battles between his innie and outie.

How to watch Severance from anywhere with a VPN

What if you’re traveling abroad and want to stream Severance while away from home? With a VPN, you can virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the series from anywhere in the world. There are other good reasons to use a VPN for streaming, too.

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 you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins. Streaming TV can be a bit smoother with a reliable, quality VPN that’s 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 may opt for another provider from our best list such as Surfshark or NordVPN.

Follow the VPN provider’s instructions for installation and choose a country where Severance is streaming on Apple TV Plus. Before you open the streaming app, make sure you’re connected to your VPN using your selected region. If you want to stream Severance on more than one device, it’s possible you’ll need to configure each one to ensure you are signed in. Go to settings and check your network connections to verify you’re logged in and connected to your VPN account. Now you’re ready to open Apple TV Plus to stream.

If you run into issues with streaming, first make sure your VPN is up and running on its encrypted IP address. Double-check that you’ve followed installation instructions correctly and you’ve picked the right geographical area for viewing. If you still encounter connection problems, you may need to reboot 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.
