The first season of the hit sci-fi dystopian drama starring Adam Scott already boasts a near-immaculate 97% on Rotten Tomatoes. The second season looks set to repeat its success. Fans have been waiting three years for a new season of this ‘trippy’ Ben Stiller show that sees office worker Mark (Adam) lead a team of employees who have opted to have their memories surgically divided between professional and personal life.

As Mark onboards his newly-severed colleague Helly (Britt Lower), his outside life begins to overlap with work when disturbing truths about his job at Lumon are uncovered. Needless to say, the season one finale ended with a shocking cliffhanger (brief season one spoilers ahead so go catch up if you haven’t yet).
The work halves (innies) finally catch a glimpse of the real world with jaw-dropping consequences like Helly discovering she’s the heir to the company and Mark finding out his supposedly dead wife is actually alive. Although the plot for season two has largely been under lock and key, creator Dan Erickson teased a ‘dire’ fallout for our motley crew of workers.
