The return of Severance for its second season has reignited both excitement and disappointment among fans. While initially popular, concerns grew as long gaps between seasons and the recent Hollywood strikes inflated expectations to potentially unmanageable levels. Severance, now the most-watched show on Apple TV Plus, faces comparisons to other successful shows, particularly Lost, which also dealt with high viewer anticipation. The pressure on the series rises as it aims to deliver quality while navigating the complex landscape of modern TV fandom and changing viewer demands.
The show’s long hiatuses can create inflated expectations, leaving fans with disappointment when the highly-anticipated new season fails to meet the lofty standards set during the wait.
When Severance returned, it quickly became the most-watched show on Apple TV Plus, surpassing even Ted Lasso, which raises the stakes for its quality and fan satisfaction.
