According to recent reports, there has been behind-the-scenes drama during the filming of Severance season 2, which has led to delays in the show’s return[1][2][3][5][6]. The drama reportedly involves a falling out between the show’s co-showrunners, Dan Erickson and Mark Friedman, which has led to scrapped scripts and a complicated workplace environment[3][5][6].
However, director Ben Stiller has refuted these reports, saying that everyone is working together to make a healthy work environment and that everything is going slowly but smoothly[1]. Stiller has also hired Beau Willimon to work on the show, which has led to speculation that he may be replacing one of the co-showrunners[3][5].
There is currently no release date for season 2, and the longer the delays continue, the less likely it will be that the cast can come together in a timely manner[6].
