Apple TV+After you’ve watched the Season 2 finale, you can queue up the Severance soundtrack and have your own Music Dance Experience – so, here’s all of the songs in the show so far.
Created by Dan Erickson, Severance has an ingenious premise: what if you could ‘sever’ your experience of life between work and everything else? You get up, you eat breakfast, you go to work – and a blink later, it’s 5pm and you can enjoy the rest of your evening.
It seems like a great idea… on paper, but there’s more to it than meets the eye. Three years after the first season’s cliffhanger, Season 2 has just come to an end, leaving audiences desperate for Severance Season 3.
Until then, you can capture the vibes of the series with its soundtrack (which, thankfully, is full of bangers).
