One of the most highly anticipated Apple TV+ debuts of the year, Severance Season 2, is creating a buzz. Apple provided a first look at the new season during WWDC, and now, a new Morse code video suggests that a release date announcement is imminent.
Severance Season 2 Release Date Announcement
Earlier today, Apple shared a 15-second video on its X account, featuring a moody scene with a blinking light, accompanied by the distinctive musical score of Severance. The blinking light is a Morse code message, which is believed to translate to "tomorrow."
This cryptic hint means that tomorrow, July 10, we’re set to get our first real news about Season 2 of Severance: a release date. Fans have eagerly awaited this announcement, especially since it was expected that Severance Season 2 would drop in the fall—historically prime time for big TV releases—but a specific date had not yet been shared.
Now that we’re only a couple of months out from September, this is the perfect time for Apple to reveal Severance’s release date. In fact, Apple recently announced the September release date for Slow Horses Season 4, another beloved TV+ series alongside Severance.
