It seems Severance Season 2 is living up to its name—this time by severing itself from its own premiere! The highly anticipated event was set to light up Los Angeles on Monday, January 13, but Mother Nature decided she wanted the spotlight instead, sending wildfires to steal the show.
“Yeah, not today,” said the wildfires (probably), forcing Apple TV+ to pull the plug on what would’ve been a glitzy red carpet affair. Safety first, sparkle second!
“As these gnarly wildfires rage through LA, and since we’re not trying to make headlines for that kind of drama, we’ve decided to cancel Monday’s Severance Season 2 premiere event,” Apple TV+ explained in a statement. Translation? “We’d rather you not associate our show with a natural disaster, thank you very much.”
But Apple isn’t just bowing out; they’re stepping up. Alongside their cancellation announcement, the tech giant pledged to help out those affected by the chaos. “We’re donating to relief efforts because, honestly, we don’t want karma messing with our Wi-Fi,” they added (or, at least, should have).
The statement wrapped up with a warm and fuzzy message: “Our thoughts and support go out to everyone dealing with these tragic fires.” That’s corporate speak for: “We’re good guys, we swear!”
If you’re bummed about missing the premiere, don’t worry—the second season of Severance will still drop on January 17, 2025, on Apple TV+. Now you can binge it guilt-free, knowing the event cancellation helped save lives. Plus, it’s always better to watch a dystopian workplace drama from the safety of your couch, far away from actual fire hazards.
Stay safe, LA, and remember: sometimes, the drama of real life is too hot to handle—even for Hollywood.
