The Team is Reunited

Fans were overwhelmed with emotion when the original team finally reunited, especially after fearing it might take several episodes to see our favorite Lumen crew back together.

SEVERANCE SEASON 2 SPOILERS

I loved the decision to do a “fakeout” with the new employees. At first I was afraid we would be stuck with them instead of the classic crew for a while, but it felt so good when Helly, Irv and Dylan showed up. They are all commited to each other!

#Severance Season 2 episode 1 was WORTH THE WAIT! Loved seeing the team back together & now I can’t wait to see what their innies are going to do to take down whatever Lumon is doing behind the scenes. I have a feeling Macrodata Refinement is reviving Kier Eagan unknowingly. pic.twitter.com/8YDLPEXTkH
