Creator Dan Erickson says therapy helped him process success of Severance season 1

Creator Dan Erickson revealed that the strong response to "Severance" season 1 led him to seek therapy to manage his feelings about the show's success. He initially expected a smaller audience but was surprised by the show's impact. Erickson stated that the long wait for season 2, set to premiere on January 17, 2025, was partly due to his desire to meet audience expectations. He believes the new season will be even better than the first. Season 2 will feature the return of the main cast, including Adam Scott and Patricia Arquette, along with new additions like Gwendoline Christie and Alia Shawkat.
