The hit series “Severance” has smashed viewing records on Apple TV+ since the release of its second season, making it the most-watched show on the platform. Starring Adam Scott as Mark Scout, alongside Britt Lower, Zach Cherry, Tramell Tillman, Jen Tullock, John Turturro, and Michael Chernus, this critically acclaimed show has quickly become a must-watch for both fans and critics alike since its premiere.

Severance becomes Apple TV+’s most watched series with Season 2

Dan Erickson’s creation, Severance, became the highest-rated series ever to air on Apple TV+. This intriguing show returned for another season on January 17, 2025.

To mark the occasion, the streaming titan shared a brief video on Instagram, announcing that “Severance” had become Apple TV+’s most successful series ever. As per a Deadline report, the second season of Severance ranked fourth on Nielsen’s Top 10 Originals list just three days after its premiere.

Furthermore, data from Apple TV+ shows that their thriller series has been watched for an impressive total of 589 million minutes across all episodes. It’s anticipated that these numbers will increase once the remaining episodes are released.

After the launch of Season 2, the streaming service experienced a substantial increase in subscribers – a jump of 126% in January 2025 alone. Additionally, it outperformed one of its most-watched shows, Ted Lasso, in terms of viewer minutes spent on the platform.

As a gamer, I’ve been hooked on the second season of Severance, and it seems like the whole world is too! Matt Cherniss, Apple TV+’s head of programming, couldn’t contain his excitement about its success. He called it an “extraordinary triumph” and a cultural phenomenon that has left viewers around the globe spellbound. He can hardly wait for us to keep unraveling the intricate plot twists as the season progresses!

As a die-hard fan of Severance, I’m thrilled to echo Ben Stiller’s heartfelt sentiments. He took to X (previously Twitter) to express his gratitude towards us, the fans. To those who patiently waited for season 2 and the newcomers who recently discovered this marvelous show, he thanked us all. His characters and meticulous details have been a delight to share, and the intensity of your connection has been truly inspiring. We, as creators, deeply appreciate your dedication and enthusiasm!
