Apple TV+’s Severance Expansion Could Fix the Show’s Growing Lore Problem

Some viewers are concerned that expanding the universe could harm what makes Severance special. However, it might be necessary to grow the show’s reach. Currently, Severance is critically acclaimed – it has a 97% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and an 8.7 on IMDb – because of its intimate character studies and unsettling atmosphere. But with the complex backstory of Lumon Industries becoming increasingly detailed after the season finale, the show could become bogged down in its own lore. A spin-off series could be the solution to allow the franchise to thrive.
