Apple TV+ has a growing collection of high-quality shows, and one of its biggest successes is Severance Season 2. The sci-fi thriller has now set a new record, becoming the most-watched show on the streaming platform. This achievement puts it ahead of Ted Lasso, which was previously Apple TV+’s most popular series.
Severance Season 2 Breaks Records
According to Apple, both Season 1 and the first half of Season 2 have drawn massive audiences. The show Severance Season 2 has captured viewers worldwide with its unique storytelling and suspenseful plot. Matt Cherniss, head of programming at Apple TV+, praised the series, calling it a cultural phenomenon that has hooked audiences globally.

The success of Severance has also come with a high production cost. Reports suggest that Season 2 episodes now cost around $20 million each. This is surprising because the show isn’t a visual effects-heavy production like some other high-budget series. However, with the rising costs in the streaming industry, such budgets are becoming more common.
Apple TV+ has seen a major boost in sign-ups since the return of Severance Season 2. In the first two weeks of January 2025, new subscriptions increased by 126% compared to December 2024. Apple also held a free streaming weekend to let people watch and get hooked before the new season launched.
Many believe Severance is one of the best shows on Apple TV+ and is worth subscribing to the platform just to watch it. However, Apple TV+ also offers other critically acclaimed series like For All Mankind, Shrinking, Foundation, Silo, and Slow Horses. Each show brings something unique, making the streaming service a great option for viewers looking for high-quality content.
While there is no confirmed end date for Severance, creators have hinted that they won’t drag the story out for too long. Fans can expect more twists and turns as the series progresses, but the creators want to provide answers rather than stretch the mystery indefinitely.
