Severance creator Dan Erickson talks keeping the acclaimed show’s spark alive in season 2: “It’s not just that it’s still there – I think it’s better”

Severance creator Dan Erickson says that he’s not scared for the show’s return after spending three years in production – and that the new season is even better.

“It’s much less [pressure] now than it was as we were making it, and especially as I was writing it,” Erickson tells GamesRadar+. “Because there is always that question of can you live up to what you did before? Can you even replicate what you did before? Do you even understand what it is that made it special? And so, you know, I had a lot of anxiety as we were doing it. You know, I fortunately have a very good therapist, so that helped.”
