Fans of Severance are encouraged to read The Lexington Letter before the new season starts
Topeka: Since Dan Erickson’s hit show Severance dropped on Apple TV+ in 2022, fans have been buzzing. They’re diving into theories on Reddit, rewatching episodes, and even tuning into the podcast with Ben Stiller and Adam Scott.
If you’re a superfan, there’s one more thing to do before Season 2 kicks off on January 17: check out The Lexington Letter. This companion book came out with Season 1 in 2022 and is a must-read.
The 43-page book gives a peek into Lumon Industries and another severed employee’s life. While it doesn’t answer every question from Season 1, it adds some important context that’ll help you dive into the new season.
The Lexington Letter shares the story of Margaret “Peg” Kincaid, who, like the main characters, had her memories split. She worked as a Macrodata Refiner and tried to expose Lumon’s dark side, but things didn’t end well for her.
You can grab the book for free on Apple Books. It’s presented as an email to a reporter, Daria Thorn, where Peg spills the beans about her experiences at Lumon.
In her letter, Peg mentions her fears about Lumon’s connections to the police and how she felt she couldn’t trust anyone. She even talks about a secret language she used to communicate with her innie, which is pretty wild.
As the story unfolds, Peg connects some dots between her work and a truck explosion in New York, raising some serious red flags about Lumon’s operations.
The book also hints at some family ties to the company and shows how innies can communicate with their outies. It digs deeper into the humanity of these characters, which is something we didn’t see much of in Season 1.
With all the secrets surrounding Lumon, it’s essential to get as much info as possible about the Severance universe. The Lexington Letter is the perfect read to prep for the new season.
Remember, The Lexington Letter is free on Apple Books, and Severance Season 2 premieres January 17, with new episodes every Friday.
