I'm not sure how far along in the production they were before they had to shut down. The show paused production when the WGA strike started, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they were only in the writing stages, because television show-runners are usually writers, not directors. So it's possible they were in the middle of filming. If the actors' strike is resolved in the next couple of months and they can get started right after the holidays, I could imagine getting season 2 next Summer.So, how many 'years' left until s2 of totally planned out story-wise Severance comes out?
I am 99.999999999999% it will be derailed, but no harm in checking.
btw, there's a short story called "The Lexington Letter" that I've read has been confirmed as being canon. I haven't read it, because it's only available through Apple Books (it's free, though, if anyone has access to that service).
Severance S2 started filming before the cameras about a year ago, so I reckon they had the bulk of the new season in the can, when the strikes shut down production. The question is whether they have spent the shutdown time in post-production with the footage and scripts that they had at the time. If so, the delay shouldn't be too long. Hopefully!

David McCallum: NCIS and The Man from U.N.C.L.E actor dies aged 90
British actor David McCallum is being remembered as a "true renaissance man" after his death at age 90.McCallum was most recently known for playing a pathologist on hit CBS TV programme NCIS, which went on to generate several spinoff series.
In the 1960s, McCallum played a secret agent on hit spy drama The Man From U.N.C.L.E.
The Scottish-born actor died in New York on Monday. His death was due to natural causes.
"David was a gifted actor and author, and beloved by many around the world," CBS said in a statement.
"He led an incredible life, and his legacy will forever live on through his family and the countless hours on film and television that will never go away."
His role in The Man from U.N.C.L.E. - in which he played a Russian agent - won him many fans, particularly young women charmed by his good looks.
The series ended in 1968, but not before he received several Emmy and Golden Globe nominations for playing the role of Illya Kuryakin on the show.
McCallum found roles in films including The Great Escape, The Greatest Story Ever Told, and A Night to Remember.
He also guest starred on TV series Perry Mason and The Outer Limits.
Born in Glasgow to parents who were classical musicians, he initially pursued a career in music before finding work as an actor.
His role on NCIS came after he appeared for a role in the show JAG, which led to the NCIS spinoff. NCIS itself later went on to generate other NCIS shows, including NCIS: Los Angeles and NCIS: New Orleans.
McCallum also found work as a voice actor for children's cartoons and video games.
A statement issued by his family called him a " true renaissance man".
"He was fascinated by science and culture and would turn those passions into knowledge," it said.
"For example, he was capable of conducting a symphony orchestra and (if needed) could actually perform an autopsy, based on his decades-long studies for his role on NCIS."

Anyone watched 80s TV shows somewhat recently? They're not good putting it mildly.
I found Moonlight extremely boring (and was in mid elementary or something back then), but Matlock was a bit better. Though perhaps I only have watched some 90s episodes.

Dopesick was excellent. We discussed it a bit here a while back when it came out. I've been hesitant to averse to watching Painkiller at all.

I think the only 80s show I've revisited in the last 5-10 years was the first season of Hill Street Blues. I thought it held up, although I found it hard to readjust to the old aspect ratio.

It's worthy of a rewatch. Not, like, right away, but in a year or something. You probably will notice things you didn't the first time. For example, watch this scene from s1 ep4 again, now that you've finished the series:
(This is an absolutely massive spoiler for the series, not just season 1. Don't watch this clip if you haven't finished the entire series yet.)
Spoiler :
I've watched it twice(ish) now and I agree that it is a really special show. Shoreh Aghdashloo is exquisite and she anchors a quartet of leading ladies including Frankie Adams, Dominique Tipper and Cara Gee that are just superb. That's without including the fantastic performances of the guys in the show, especially Wes Chatham, Thomas Jane and Cas Anvar. The cast of that show is just fantastic overall. Not too many shows have managed to do what this show does so well. The only things that spring to mind as remotely comparable are Dark Matter and Firefly, which were both excellent, but both of those were cancelled long before they could match The Expanse.
