"Severance," officially has a new teaser for its second season, and it ramps up the paranoia.
The teaser for the show, which focuses on a company whose employees lose memory of their personal life while working, was released by Apple TV on Wednesday.
Set to The Who's "Eminence Front," the teaser for the Emmy-nominated Apple TV+ show features Adam Scott's Mark feverishly running through the halls of his creepy company Lumon, seemingly trying to find a way out.
In the voiceover, Britt Lower's Helly tells him, "Everything they told you about Severance is a lie."

Amid a montage of disturbing images, including a sketch of a hallway with a red heart in the middle, Adam finds that very hallway, with an elevator "down" arrow taking the place of the heart.
Then a big reveal comes: "My wife," Mark says in voice-over, followed by a scream, "She's alive!"
Then, he runs around the corner and finds his co-workers — and says, "Who are you people?"
